What did I learn today?



Bones of the hand, bitches :D

We also had our first ever psychological medicine lecture, which was like coming home and rediscovering all the shiny things you'd forgotten about while you were away, and I got a chocolate frog (the lecturer = very keen on lobbing chocolate frogs across the enormous lecture hall) for knowing why we consider specific phobias of blood & injury to be a separate group to all the other specific phobias.

He also made us watch fifteen minutes of the 1979 original When a Stranger Calls in an earnest, totally non-ironic effort to help us experience a moderate fear reaction. It was great.

So...a good ending to a pretty sucky week, all-in-all. I have absolutely nothing planned for the weekend, so if any Sydneysiders want to kidnap me or go out to lunch or see a movie or something, let me know!

Bones of the hand = totally sexy.

I think this is the fundamental difference between medical doctors and archaeologists. Besides, you know, all the other stuff. We both think bones are AWESOME, but you have a vested interest in keeping them inside their respective bodies, whereas we just like to play with them.

I don't know, I kind of like playing with them too :D But yeah, they're more fun when you know why they're shaped like they are and where the muscles go and what happens when they snap.
