school has gotten really busy this quarter with a lot more labwork to do. i never used to have to stay long nights in the lab or take labwork home to do, but now i'm finding myself in the lab at 9 or 10pm, and i actually bring waxing stuff home to do... at least i can watch house md while i do it =] so ridiculous... i started watching house this quarter from season 1... and i'm currently in the middle of season 5, almost caught up to the current season (6). totally loving how house is such a bastard sometimes, but at the same time i hate him for his insensitivity haha
yogurtland has been having this promotional thing with tokidoki. they have these cool cups with tokidoki designs and spoons to match. as a result, i have a small collection of yogurtland spoons now haha
i need to go back after the 24th to collect the other 2 spoon designs XD i entered the sweepstakes http://www.tokidoki.it/yogurtland hopefully i can win free yogurt for a year :D haha
since my last posting, i have learned how to give injections intraorally bwahhaha~ my hand was shaking for the first few i gave, but after getting used to it and getting over the anxiety, it really didn't seem like that big of a deal. i mean, after all, it'll be something that i'll do on an almost daily basis in the future when i start practicing. i think the best part of it was when i inadvertently injected some of the anesthetic into steph's bloodstream :D the epinephrine in the anesthetic made her have a rush for about 30 seconds... it was kind of cool, aside from the fact that if she had some kind of heart problem i could've killed her ^^;;
this quarter we also learned how to cast our own restorations in gold, which we had to buy ourselves (~$850 >< ). the whole process is actually pretty tedious; we have to make a wax pattern of the restoration, invest it in stone, melt out the wax, and then shoot molten gold into the investment mold. after we take it out, we have to reshape it, polish it, and then cement it onto our prep. each step takes a pretty long time, and it's easy to mess up and have to start over... luckily i only had to do that once =] i'll put pics up when i take some. update: here are some pics~ that's about... i dunno... $200 worth of gold?
on veteran's day, we went to redondo beach and gardena to eat good food :D at redondo we had live uni from quality seafood fresh fish market... which was not that great... we were constantly getting attacked by birds, the uni was too salty from all the seawater, and i think it gave me stomach problems... afterwards we went to sanuki no sato, probably my favorite udon place heheh =] it was just as good as always, but their chicken still sucks... dry and somewhat bland from being boiled too long i think... haha oh well... i have yet to find a better bowl of udon elsewhere.
this weekend was mildly frustrating... i left for the health fair in sylmar at around 7:30, and arrived to find absolutely nobody at the site... so me and dr. spolsky ended up sitting in the car waiting for some kind of information from the people running the fair, which finally came an hour later, telling us they had rescheduled the health fair to some time in january == i guess i'm not that pissed about it. it's just that, if i had known, i would have probably had 2 (or 3) more drinks the night before =] oh well ^^;;
music:
sakamoto ryuichi - merry christmas, mr. lawrence
the whole time i thought utada just came up with a randomly weird title for her song, but now i know that it was based on this song written by sakamoto ryuichi as the soundtrack to a movie by the same name. i love his instrumental music.. his melodies just flow, and while they're simple, they convey pretty deep feelings. i recommend his album titled 1996 =]
lady gaga - bad romance
did you know that her chinese name is 女神卡卡?? lol anyway, i wasn't really into her stuff until recently. she's quite amazing, in a weird kind of way. her live performances are highly entertaining (i recommend her 2009 mtv vma performance) and she is a really good singer live. i really don't know why she tries to make herself so ugly though; she actually looks pretty decent in the bad romance video when she uses a lot less makeup and shorter lashes. oh well, whatever floats her boat i guess.
ugh i am old now :(
