Colors*

I was in one of those pretentious Central Market-ish stores** and I wasn't going to buy anything. Hell, I wouldn't know what to do with half of them. A few things are interesting. Newflower sells things like solar powered cell phone chargers (very tempting, except for the $80 price) and stuff.

Even still, nothing except the honey roasted peanuts called to me. I started getting bored, so I tried something new.

All those pretentious hippie (but really, not) labels are so colorful. So I just took it all in. Just focused on the colors, not the text. It's interesting. Sort of like being in a foreign country.

I think we spend so much time reading text that we forget to look at the strategically placed colored backgrounds and nuances.

*: Great song:



I'm going pretty crazy with this rediscovered 'embed' feature.

**: Hard to describe. Sprouts is kind of like one. Central Market for sure. "Newflower" on Preston Rd. is another one.

Back to The Sopranos.

Ice cream.

Does it really go bad, having been in the freezer since January 17?
More importantly, why has no one eaten it since then? (Dutch Chocolate!)

I consulted Yahoo Questions.

I then read the comments to amuse myself. I learned that "ice goes bad too" and "it will taste like frozen plastic."

It bugs me a little that I'm eating something described to have "freezer burn" and "frost bite" on it. It really does taste gummy though.

That reminds me. I remember a long time ago when school started, everything just looked like one big mush to me. "Parenchyma" or "mesenchyme" as people called it. It seemed like there were a few important things in this bag of water people called a human body, and the rest of it was just mush, filler, gunk, etc.

I suppose it's expected for this to change. It has. Although, fat still looks like gunk. Whatever. Enjoy the picture of the gummy ice cream.



That's my hand, near the top.

What a senile post. This is the kind of useless shit I've been doing over break. Talking about ice cream and taking pictures of my hand. I'm bored. When is class going to start already.

I'll fuss about something tomorrow.

Rockstars

Man I love this commercial:

The Chinese one? Not so good. Pretty horrible actually. He has masked facies like a Parkinson's patient. What did he invent to have such a smug look?

I was in the ER the other day (not as a patient)* and the first time the attending** chooses to remember my name, she yells "Glove up! and get ready to tradeoff on compressions!"

A second later I felt a light jab in my stomach - a nurse handed me a pair of gloves. It's too bad they called it before I had a chance to get in.

Mid-40s, MVA, respiratory and cardiovascular collapse, they were doing CPR for about 20 minutes. The thing is, MVAs come in all the time. Trauma rooms are populated all the time. If you really want to know if something serious is going down, look for the religious liason standing outside.

*: I used to ask "Have you ever been to the hospital before?" in my interviews. After a few interviews, I started adding "as a patient". Somehow, "hospitalized" sounds too clunky and serious, like they took a trip through the ICU or something.

**: Rockstars.

Videos on break

Pardon the imaginative title.

Year 1 of med school ends. I don't feel any different.



I was watching this video of MJ. I think "Beat it" and this song are the only ones I actually like. Someone the other day said that it was "all about the package"* and I was trying to figure that out. The dancing/singing/performance act.

Well. People need to calm the fuck down. I'll admit, it was a good performance. I just can't see myself going that crazy for an artist.

Probably the most annoying set of videos I've ever watched has CNET's Brian Tong on it. He hosts this segment on CNET called "Prizefight" Here's a clip:



Congratulations, douchebag! You look like a small animal. The kind I stress my suspension over trying to avoid on the highway, but probably shouldn't. I just can't take anything you say seriously. Probably due to the fact you look like one of those IC2 assholes.**

I realize the AzN thing was a fad a long time ago. It's over. Seriously. Flatten down the hair and act civilized. Also, your vehicles are weak. Tong should use his "skills" to photoshop himself into the "You Got Beef?" music video. Preferably into one of those really fly Dodge Neons.

lol. Rappers.

*: There's a kiddie porn joke somewhere in there.
**: I have not been able to figure out what exactly they do.

Start out the summer with a BANG!

Quite literally. Yesterday I was coming up a flight of stairs, pretty
quickly, preoccupied with a few things. Well. My leg got caught.

And I have a meeting at 1pm.

DDx:
Ligament damage (95%)
Talar fracture (5%)

My parents want to come down and baby me. I hve a ton of shit to do
too, so that might be convenient. But damn.

I'll do it by myself.

LAME.

:'(

2 MONTHS.

It hurts me more than you, trust me.

"My Ramblings" will be back. July 1.
