Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
She got in! Wooo!!! My wife got accepted to med school at MUSC!!! Yay!!!
Week 7, and I’ve gone up to 172. It’s been a tough week staying on track with the diet. One of those weeks where I’ve just been too lazy to do much cooking of any kind. So I’ve probably been eating out a few more times than I should have been.
I’ve also been really lazy about getting a workout routine started. It’s bad, I know. I need to do some form of exercise that I enjoy, and quite frankly, working out in a gym or health club is not something I enjoy. And if it’s not something I enjoy, I’m just not going to be able to commit to doing it.
What I really want to do is be out on a bike cycling down the road. First I need to get a new bike. And all the requisite accessories. That’s a little ways down the road though, and probably won’t be happening soon. So I’ll have to find something else in the meantime.
Thanks to Melissa, I’ve just wasted about 15 minutes and sacrificed a dozen of my business cards building a couple of business card cubes.
Who knew business cards could be so much fun. And all this time, I’ve just been giving the darned things away!

I like to collect things. One of the collections I’m most proud of is my small collection of radiology related things. There’s not much in it, but I enjoy each piece I have. I try to acquire new items when I can, although nowadays with service engineers having to return all the bits they take out, it’s a little harder.
My favourite item is the hand held fluoroscope that I acquired off E-bay. It’s the oldest piece I have. It gives me a connection to how radiology used to be done. I just find it cool to hold it, and imagine how someone would have used it 60 or 70 years ago. Unfortunately it doesn’t have any labels on it, so I have no idea just how old it is.
CNN: Woman dies watching ‘Passion’.
Wow. 6 months ago, there wasn’t a film distributer in the world that was going to touch this movie with a 10 meter pole. Too controversial, too anti-semetic they said. Now it’s all the rage. Church groups are buying out theaters and urging everyone to go see it.
You might even die from it.
Ok, ok, it’s probably not quite fair to say that about this movie. But I wonder if now they’ll add a disclaimer or something. Or perhaps a new rating.
This movie rated RH: Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian. People with heart conditions require accompanying medical personnel.
