Pretty unique event, last time they froze shut was about 15 years ago. You always see it in the old pictures and 17th century paintings, now we can actually do it ourselves.

Could be the last nice warm day of the year. Also, somebody bought me flowers, so a good opportunity to take some pictures.

Attention treasure hunters and curiosa lovers: check out the library of your local hospital! While browsing for something completely different, I stumbled about this amazing gem:  Living Anatomy by R.D. Lockhart, 'Emeritus Professor of Anatomy, University of Aberdeen'. The first edition dates from 1948, but ths copy is seventh edition from 1974 ("including twelve additional images of surface musculature")

The librarian was so stunned by the mere existence of the book, my great interest in it, and the fact that it had NEVER before been checked out in the history of the library, that she gave it to me for FREE.

I got the first book for my 12th birthday and remember very distinctively going to my mother after the last page and telling her what an awesome movie this would be! Here are some of my thoughts of the last movie (with spoilers of course). What do you think, if you've seen it already? ( the AWESOME, the GOOD and the COULD'VE BEEN BETTER, in bullet points. )

I found this great Hanbok Tumblr! 
To celebrate (and beat my art block) I present to you a summary of the highlights:

After a week running around the hospital and training my time management and surgical knotting skills, time for another nice STUFF post!

This time with clothes on:
