Life In the Fast Lane

My weekend:

- I am officially burnt out on ILS papers and projects. I need a vacation. Fortunately, that is soon. If you're in OR and I didn't tell you the dates, ask me about it.

- On Thursday, apparently some punk decided to smash in my driver's side window on my car. Didn't take anything, didn't wreck anything else. Just smashed the window. Rather fortunately, my insurance paid for it all, and they sent a guy out to repair it at my place. However, shattered auto glass, while cool-looking, is enormously annoying to pick up.

- OTOH, I got taken to hear the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, and then I got fed steak. This steak was on order of Third Best Steak Ever. I cannot stress to you how amazing this steak was. The music was good too, though I Am Not A Classical Fan. Either way, Thursday night wound up being ok.

- I got a postcard from Suzanne. It's a picture of a model of the circulatory system of a rabbit. It is badass and red. I shall likely post a picture of it later, as it is neat and stuff.

- I seem to have a new roommate. I have met him all of twice or so in the day he's been here. Jury is still out, but could be good.

- I had something else, but forgot it. Oh well.

Model? Oh, no, my friend. That IS a rabbit's circulatory system.

They filled his veins and arteries with red plastic, then dissolved the rest of him with acid.

'Body Worlds' is a strange exhibit. I love it.

That's actually totally awesome. And I feel enormously geeky for thinking so, but I can live with that.

But how do they keep the acid from dissolving the plastic, I wonder...

Acid proof plastic of course. Or Squirrel Aliens.

Why keep us in suspense? Where's the pic? :)
