photos! largely Med Revue

Instead of taking a picture of myself, I have decided to take a picture of the AWESOME skirt I bought today. _leareth and I should not be allowed out in Newtown unsupervised, we always end up buying clothing. And normally I'd consider clothing an unacceptably frivolous buy, but I found this skirt at a designer's market and the designer was running the stall and was very nice and helpful and honestly, I was in love as soon as I saw the fabric.



( A closer look at the fabric )

I've also found a fantastic flickr set by the girl who was taking pictures during the final night of Med Revue. You can browse through and giggle at how crazy we are, and I've stuck a handful of those featuring yours truly ( under the cut )

canadian psychiatrists = WACKY

............I just found a paper called, I kid you not, Mental illness in Disney animated films.

Why must you torment me by only providing full text from September 2004, Canadian Journal of Psychiatry website? Why not June 2004? WHY CAN'T I READ ABOUT DISNEY CHARACTERS AND MENTAL ILLNESS?

I can, however, access Reel Psychiatry: Movie Portrayals of Psychiatric Conditions, which is one of my favourite medical humanities topics EVER. ETA: Oh, blast, it's only a review of a book with this title. Well. I need to track down the book, clearly!

(Okay, look, I started off hunting down articles about the psychiatry of death, on which we were given a lecture by an awesome old woman who looked approvingly at me when I was the only person to stick my hand up when she asked if anyone read Walt Whitman. And then she quoted Whitman at me. And lots of philosophers and authors. I...kind of want to be her when I grow up. Anyway, if you know me at all you will know just how well psychiatry + death = brilliant fusion of two of my major areas of academic interest. So I was finding some stuff to read. But then I just stumbled across the Disney thing and got UNDERSTANDABLY SIDETRACKED.)

ETA 2: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Putting Harry Potter on the Couch: This article will explore J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter (2004) literary series from a psychoanalytical perspective.

fslkafjsadkhsads wtf

ETA 3: I won't add any more to this post because I'll end up never stopping, but you should all plug 'mental disorders' AND 'motion pictures' into MedLine and see what comes out, because some of it is HILARIOUS.
