Monday . June 16 . 2003 . 6:09pm como se dice... I got my official hospital ID! It has my face on it and everything. And it says MD. Maybe it's just not cool to be so excited about that part, but I am, I really am. Unfortunately, there's no comma between my name and the title, and the space is barely perceptible, so if you were just glancing at my ID, you could possibly think that my name is MICHELLE AUMD. Which really is no weirder a name than Michelle Au, I guess. Today was our first of four days of medical Spanish classes. We learned things. For instance, other people learned Spanish grammer, numbers, and names for different parts of the body. I learned that I still suck at languages. If phrenology was still in vogue (and who knows, it may come back), I think you would find that the language center part of my cranium is really small and misshapen. * * * Did you see X-Men when it was on TV last night? I think it was on one of the network offshoot cable channels, like F/X or something. I wasn't that crazy about the movie the first time I saw it in the theaters (Joe dragged me to go, but he didn't have to drag me too hard, because I love Patrick Stewart) but it's OK in that, "oh, it's on TV and it just started so I guess I'll watch it because I have nothing else to do" kind of way. My favorite line of the movie is when Magneto (aside: I thought his name was "Magento" when I was younger, because his costume was magenta) says to Professor X, "You can't keep me in this plastic prison forever." Plastic! Prison! Ha! Because he has magnetic powers, you see, so they have to lock him up in a Tupperware container. I wouldn't even really mind going to see X-Men 2 as my part to support mindless summer action movies, but it really ticks me off that Patrick Stewart's face is so very small of the movie poster, in back of everyone. He's even standing behind Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, for chrissake! She doesn't even talk! That's just not right. * * * We're having a BBBQ at our place on Saturday, to celebrate my birthday. (The extra 'B' stands for BYOBB.) It should be a good time, but I'm kind of unsure how much food we should buy. Well, aside from the fact that we don't have a final headcount yet, I'm not really certain how much food people eat at barbecues. Should we count on two burgers per person? Should we have non-burger foods? What of veggie burgers? What of beverages and snacks? Typical that we would throw a party and then have no idea of how to plan for it. Also, it looks like it might rain on Saturday. * * * And, to finish off the day, my new favorite riddle: Q: What's brown and sticky? A: A stick! Ha! xo Michelle |
