nike pumps...

remember nike pump-action hightops? those space age bulky must-have basketball kicks of the mid-80s...

well, one of the groups discovered a similar device in the genitalia of their cadaver, and today it was fully utilized as a teaching point by a urologist visiting our anatomy lab... just a fascinating device, and nice to know it's in the stable should things in life not go as planned...

on a slightly sadder note, tonight one of our classmates noted (while we were watching house) that much of our social life has evolved into watching medical comedies and dramas that portray an idealized version of our future careers... it's a little bit much i think... even last night, i had the most fun i've had in weeks watching an indian movie about a gangster termed doctor... just hilarious...

anyway...

bobby weinberg was out here from tech giving a talk on cellular transformation in cancer, and the whole school was in a titter (though mostly over the free lunches, i think)... missed it, though--i had already committed myself to a tutoring engagement, but i guess i'd rather cash a check...

and, in what must be the most improbable turn of events in my recent life, apparently, i've agreed to go to the system of a down concert this friday night, and only today did i realize how ridiculous that's going to be... i hope i can take pictures for you all... i don't even know what to wear... this is probably going to turn out to be a huge mistake...

good news--becky finally has developoed the photos from our mystic aquarium visit, and in a couple weeks, you all may finally be clued into the reasoning for the blog title... keep your fingers crossed... i'm hoping the photo came out well...

cheers,
