Let it never be said that profs are without a sense of humour

Today we cut out and dissected Blanche's heart.

There are too many places to go with this, and I don't know where to start. Just one of the wonderfully ironic things that happen when you're in the cardio block on Valentine's day.

Given what I've seen this morning, I hope any hearts you are given today are either metaphorical, or chocolate. :)

For real

I was just printing off lecture notes for tomorrow, and...

...for real, some prof has posted 97 pages of notes. For a two-hour lecture on dentistry. Two days before our block exam, on which this lecture will be tested.

For real, people. 97 pages about teeth.

*facepalm*

Childhood memories are cracktastic!

I was all set to be productive this afternoon. Unfortunately, I discovered instead that YouTube now has episodes of the much-lauded, now-defunct, early-mid-nineties Children's Television Workshop show Ghostwriter.



Oh the wholesomeness of a show about a ghost who reads and the kids who love him. Oh the carefully-structured cultural diversity, oh the cheesy days of early rap and early internet. Oh the outfits. Oh the nineties flava. This show was so COOL in its day.

My friends and I, uh, didn't make pens with strings through the caps so we could have our own "ghostwriter team"...nor was anyone ever heard to sing Lenni's "You Gotta Believe" rap at recess...no way. *looks left and right shiftily* I definitely had a crush on Alex at some point in my life, but I was happy for him when he hooked up with Tina.

Oh good lord. I need these brain cells for other things.

(Aw yeah, aw yeah! You gotta believe!)

Annd, I gotta go work.

P.S. Thanks to xkcd comics for reminding me that, indeed, a little bitty Julia Stiles played a tough-chick school-age hacker on this show. And the clip, indeed, rocks.
