things on tuesday

Good things!

• Body Worlds was amazing. The fetuses were definitely the strangest part, for me. It's amazing how even the
  

  blood vessels
  squiggly little 7-week-old wormy fetuses actually LOOK like Impossibly tiny humans, with their teeny little hands and fingers. They are so ugly and weird dude it's awesome. Among the other highlights: blood vessel configurations floating in space (as pictured to the right [more photos of these things can be found here), the thoracic and abdominal organs (especially the intestines. In person, they look much more like balloon animals than they do in illustrations),  and the entire muscular system. The elaborately posed (mostly)intact bodies were all incredibly beautiful.

• Um I am still on break and it is still awesome.

• Check this shit out: illustrations by Emily Jo Cureton, based on words from crossword puzzles! It's basically the greatest idea ever and I'm really excited about them.

Bad Things!

• Thomas might be allergic to Wednesday. (the cat).
  

• Gas prices.

• Pasadena just passed that law about smoking in public places. I will personally enjoy not encountering smoke as often, but I feel sort of bad for the smokers in my life.
