"The sub-specialty of Hand and Microsurgery emerged only during the last twenty to thirty years, and is highly dependent on modern technology. Major advances have been made in this field over the past two decades and the Tampa Bay Hand Center is now able to correct many of the problems related to this delicate and complex instrument - the human hand."

I made an amazing discovery a while back. When you buy a package of chicken wings that are all packed in tight, the wings are either all lefts or all rights.

Hmm maybe this post should be in the Politics forum...?

Around here you only get rights. I always thought that's why we have so many left wing chickens putting up all that squawk.

There's such a huge difference in your capabilities when you try to accomplish a mental task while sleep deprived, and when you try to complete a physical task while sleep deprived.

I haven't slept since 9 in the morning yesterday (it's now 10:30am for me) and I wouldn't be exaggerating if this is the most tired, and terrible that I've ever felt. I've consistently gone weeks with 2-5 hours of sleep a night, and a short nap in the afternoon during school, but I had basketball at 7 this morning, and just felt horrible.

Normally, whenever I have a sport during school, I am usually smarter with my schedule so that I can get more sleep, but I have basketball three days a week at 7 in the morning over the summer, and it's the fact that, for those four days that I don't have basketball, I'm sleeping in late, which throws off my sleep schedule and ends up with me not getting nearly enough sleep when I need it. It's slowly killing me.

Maybe as an internship of some sorts, I could subject myself to a study on sleep deprivation, seeing as how I already put myself through the torture (I'm a hard-core night person.... it's quieter, I am able to focus more, but the rest of the world seems to like sunlight) on a regular basis.

During the school year it's fine when I have a consistent schedule, but it's the inconsistency of summer, where I have to wake up early three days of the week, and don't have to for the rest of the week, that is, like I said, slowly killing me.




Now that I think about it, I may be somewhat sick, seeing as how I haven't been feeling 100% the past few days (I'm sure it has nothing to do with the lack of sleep), and that may be adding to my misery, but either way, I still feel terrible, and sleep deprivation has brought it all upon me.

Get some sleep! I used to do what you're doing now, and *nothing* good ever came of it.

Hm, the Polish team really gave it away in the second half, IMO. Shame.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

{see if that works.}

zoobyshoe

Not exactly the hand equivalent of a podiatrist, but close enough, I suppose.
Wow. There are so many facts about chickens that have been staring me right in the face that I've never picked up on.

Not that I wish the Polish team to loose, but I like the grumpy face.

Yeah, I know you probably meant that. But it just popped into my head because I see that place every day.

What would it be if it had a name? Mandologist?


Is your world upside down?

Anyone here seen Lost in Translation? If yes, thoughts? I remember seeing it when I was younger - probably because of Scar Jo's behind on the opening scene (I jest) - and then being quite pleasantly surprised with the rest. I never finished watching the whole of it. I was also a big Garden State nut. About a year ago, I had also seen that other Coppola film, Somewhere, and I found it somewhat lacking. It was nice but it seemed somewhat hollow but perhaps this was the desired effect?

I have recently seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off again and while I enjoyed it, there were a few things about I didn't like. One being that "do what you want and you may well get out of it without too many bruises", how he treats his "best friend", and I'm not certain I understood the last scene, where the sister doesn't blow his cover. Is it because she has no reason to hate him now that she found somebody (I was surprised to see Charlie Sheen with a somewhat average-sized face) that likes her...for no apparent reason? Anyone, those things didn't seem to bother that much. Now that I've written it all out, it doesn't look like that much of a big deal but when as I was watching the movie, at some point, things stopped feeling right.

This has caused me to wonder whether I will be able to enjoy those films if I watch them again.

On another note, has anyone seen "Never Let Me Go"? Opinions on it?

Another thing I'm working on right now is "speed reading". I don't know when it happened but I don't seem to be able to read as fast as I could before. I seem to be taking a little over a minute to read a page. (in a regular paperback)

I couldn't help but smile at this.

The girl epidemic.

Thanks everybody for the support.

With mirth I can announce that she is finally released from hospital, vitals are perfect and the blood values are back to normal.

Interesting that Myrthe (somebody sneaked in the L in english) appears to have a relation with mirth:

The Dutch given name encyclopedia lists as advantage of the name, that you're probably never going to meet somebody with the same name.

Okay another picture then. Is this kid really two days old?

Wow! Eyes wide open, and LOTS of hair. Cute.
