The midgets I could do without. Princess Leia in 1983, however...

Oh do tell, do tell.

I am not sure. But as long as I don't end up like Han Solo in the ewok village, I should be OK.

Nirvana and all the grunge movement of the 90's.

Been in one of those moods lately.

A inspiring clip for all. Think of it when I work out. Definitely gets the drive going for me. Awesome show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GpJR3Un_uw

I am where I want to be. Just want to finish the job. I will still "play" as a child, as in have a sense of humor, as we all do in the operating room, or at least the ones I have worked. Keeps me pleasant on the floor as well. Hell, shocked my last program director in that the nurses had nothing but positive things to say on my evaluations, unlike my senior residents at the time.

I have...suspicions... But no crushes on myself, nor me on anyone else at the moment. *sigh* Need some inspiration, you know.

Music. Definitely what drew me into the scene. Now I will be the first to admit dress something resembling yuppie-spawn, but I tend to be the more formal type going out to a club. Good topic.

Gradually picking up speed running since I had sat out for a bit. 24-minute 3 mile run and going back down. Been kind of bummed for a bit. Waiting for some paperwork before working, so watching my anime collection. During the opening, closing and commercial breaks, you can get in a few sets of crunches or push ups. Duty with boredom relief. Seems to be going good.

The thing is the voice is synthesized as well, or derived from computer sampling.

That was one hell of a Shift Possibility and Eternity Shard tap.

It appears that holograms or like technology combined with a software that generates vocals has created this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTXO7KGHtjI Vocaloid link It has a wiki page?!

Actually, they have a bit more in the lines of pain management with their osteopathic maneuvers. There are limits to it. I'm not sure what they are missing in the academic background, however. There are two license tracks, both legal in the eyes of the law and in practice; the DO license and the MD license. There are exams for both licenses (COMLEX for DOs, USMLE for MDs,) DOs are eligible to take the board exams to hold an allopathic (MD) license. In some states in necessary for them to work, as it is up to the states to recognize DOs' license as valid. Met good and clueless MDs and DOs. The big DO/MD issue was that MDs at the time DOs came about (late 1800's,) were still using arsenic, and other known poisons as part of their medications. Hence their holistic approach. Nowadays, as medical studies undergo review and re-examiniation for best evidence for treatment, the two paths cross over quite a bit. (the reason the Cochrane Review exists.) That said, it depends on the physician for the holistic vs. allopathic method. Had a boarded anesthesiologist/pain specialist that actually used acupuncture for pain. Psychiatrists know that the best treatment for a lot (NOT ALL) of the problems is behavioral therapy and psychotherapy; just talking it out and helping the patient work through it. However, insurance companies don't like the idea of paying for the months of sessions it would take. The meds should be a last resort, but the insurance companies want otherwise.

Well, I has a sad :(

*facepalmheaddesk* I will have to see what the next few days bring.

OK: -Rolls: Check -Cookie ingredients: Check -Rib Rub: Check The ribs and the meatloaf will have to wait until at least next week, if not the week of thanksgiving for two reasons: 1. I would rather have the meat fresh and not have to freeze it before making it. 2. I may have to make a trip that will eat a bit more funds.

My friend, you did good. I wish he could have been alive to see him do the same for me.

I believe in implants for reconstruction only (i.e. after cancer surgery,) as for many, it *is* psychologically devastating and part of their being. But that is just me.

One great birthday celebration, complete with hot redheads with hawaiian cravings. The career I want. And the tech goodies wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks for the Journey flashback in the title. Gads I'm old. Seen this happen to friends. College/University is an option. Either the Small Town Kid gets into a field that leads them out of the Small Town, or become so scared of the vast mix of people that they rush back to the comfort of the small town. Sounds a bit Lovecraftian (go insane (join the bigger whole,) or retreat to what's comfortable (return home,)) but it's true. When I was at university (a small university,) I saw several friends from small towns go on to bigger and better things in the city. I also saw several from small towns that were so scared of the different points of view that they went back home. I visited homes of a lot of my friends, and can confirm the size of their town was small. As for when I knew I was goth: Well, I have always been a bit, well, off. *shocks and horrors!!!* When I was about 9 or 10, I remember seeing the movie Heavy Metal. There was one song that struck a chord in me. "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" by the Blue Oyster Cult. Dark. Despotic. Nihilistic. Beautiful. Came across other groups that appealed to me: Depeche Mode, the New Wave stuff, it goes on. College was the the big realization for me. A few people were like me as well, dressed a little darker than I did (I have always been a fan of neutrals/greys/blues/blacks,) but were far more interesting to talk to than the pop culture followers. And with a great deal more depth of discussion. Before too long, a name came to it. It was Goth. Never had a problem being classified as one. It is one aspect of me. i have to go against the fashions of piercings and tattoos, as I have to regularly interface with the normal population. To me, it makes no difference. The nihilistic, dark beauty is not something that I need to wear externally. It is something I carry with me. As for where I want to live, I would want to live on a lonely atoll or an isolated part of a tropical island. The beauty of nature by day, and beauty of the backbone of the galaxy at night. And I wouldn't be so frakking freezing with these hawaiian genetics I have in the middle of this giant land mass/heat sink that I live in.

Which means the raw ingredients may take a spike in price due to demand.
