Rhinoplasty: The Musical

I think I've been working on rhinoplasty chapters too long. The terminology is getting in my head: I've got this idea that it might be fun to attend an "excessive nostril show", at which the performers might do the "columellar strut". An "extended columellar strut", even, although that might only appear on the special edition DVD.

Apparently I really need to finish the rhinoplasty section and move on to something else. There can't be anything musical in the laryngeal cancer section, can there?

Awesomest story ever

Chelsea: Sometimes, I buy strawberries! And I take them to work. And the people at work eat them! (pause) I'M SO HAPPY!!

Race for the Cure

Sunday's Race for the Cure was really great. I'm so glad I signed up and got up early to go do this.

Here's a link to a story in the Philadelphia Inquirer about the Race.

Overall, the Race was a really amazing thing to do. I'd never done a race like this before. The energy was just incredible, all these people, all these women out to fight back against breast cancer. It was super cool and I'm so glad I did it!

books 2008: Very Far Away From Anywhere Else, by Ursula K. Le Guin

I really liked this book. It's a skinny, simple little YA story, but with a lot of good growing-up stuff handled really well. I also liked this book because I picked it up for a quarter at the library book sale. Score!

I'm getting pretty far along in my quest to read all of Le Guin's work. I need to go back and reread the Earthsea books pretty soon.
