Eggling

As promised, I am updating.

For Angeline’s birthday, Jackie gave her this special little egg. It’s made of ceramic or something and you crack open the top like an egg.

Then just add water.

And then you wait for a plant to grow. Ours is chrysanthemum.

The expression on her face is priceless as she patiently awaits. :rofl:

Stay tuned for more pictures of our photosynthetic egg! I hope it doesn’t die from the Michigan gloom.

Blah

So now that Angeline is gone, I get to eat the crappy food I did before. This time I mixed it up with a bottle of sparkling wine we had sitting in the fridge to celebrate my cheap/free gas.

I have some more updates but I think I’ll save them for later because I don’t want to use them all up in one day!

Pump weirdness = goodness

So I’m on my way home from Ann Arbor and stop by the local BP gas pump to fuel up. So I was just minding my own business and doing the fill up routine: swipe card, open gas cap, choose octane, glance at price, glance at price again, confused and tilt head to side. . .wait, that’s not part of the routine.

HUH?? Weird. So now I’m no longer minding my own business but trying to keep under the radar and make sure no one notices the error. I press 93. In the meantime, I’m trying to peek at their sign at the street to check the prices. Darn a car is blocking my line of sight. So I look at the pump to see if it’s really charging me what I thought. I look again at the prices and notice the decimal moved one spot to the left making it a tidy $.2359/gal Couldn’t get a good shot of it but this is what I got when I looked up.

I blinked a few times before the guy came out and said it was an error and made me stop filling. I started daydreaming about selling this stuff when they shut off the pumps to fix the problem. . .

But wait, it gets even better. I ended up getting 9 gallons for zero dollars.

Big baby

I remember back in OB/GYN that we joked around about big babies. We imagined them getting up after being delivered, waving thank yous and walking out of the room.

>> 14-lb baby! The largest is 22.5!! :shock2:

Suckiness

Just wanted to let everyone know that writing a personal statement sucks. Unless you love talking about how great you are and how this one bird that pooped on your car got you thinking about what it meant to be alive and led to a trip to Africa to help millions of sick and dying people live to suffer some more only to realize that you were perhaps just dreaming the whole time but then you decide that you just really want to be a normal, happy individual and not let things like doo doo or personal statements turn a good day into a bad one, your day will surely end in discontent. :wallbash:

Interfacing with the future

Check out this video of a revolutionary interface tool.

Jeff Han is a research scientist for New York University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Here, he demonstrates—for the first time publicly—his intuitive, “interface-free,” touch-driven computer screen, which can be manipulated intuitively with the fingertips, and responds to varying levels of pressure. (Recorded February 2006 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 09:32)

Wow. :shock2:

My masterpiece

Courtesy of CPK and their kids menu and crayons. I’m so proud. :king:

Huge bite is getting bigger!

WTF is happening to my leg! It’s spreading. But it looks like it’s healing. Must’ve been one big ass Michigan mosquito.

Triple Digits

Dang, it reached triple digits here in Detroit. Nasty sweltering heat and moisture. :puke: I know, all you peeps in Cali are like that’s nothing. But for MI, it’s something.

Also, something bit my leg. Crazy MI mosquitoes probably. Hope I haven’t contracted West Nile.

Step 2-CK, check.

Yay, finally done with Step 2 of USMLE. Actually, only half of it since there’s a clinical skills exam too. But that’s for later.

On a side note, I was browsing the net when I came across this interesting article on CNN:
>> CNN.com – Study: More Americans too fat for X-rays, scans

It’s funny especially since I’m rotating through Radiology this month. Definitely true.
