I'm glad somebody from the site was there. I wasn't told that I was going to have to present something, so I was up at the podium like, "uh, hey, I like porn." Ugh. I wish I were less shy so I could have given the anti-porn team the smackdown they merited.

Hopefully the Bombshells will do a west-coast tour this summer, we're working on it.
Have fun seeing your speaker, it's so nice when good people come to town. Noam Chomsky is coming here, and I can't afford to go, it's tragic! frown
bigsissy:

stina:
wow... austraila sounds amazing.. i have a good friend who lives there.. i keep meaning to go.. someday right? haha.. Im glad you're going, youll have an amazing time.
As for the brain scan.. you're right.. I certainly am jellous! you should frame it! smile Itd be cooler if you made a custom frame.. you can but shitty frames at wal mart and then glue good stuff on them.. or even really old frames at salvation army would be rad smile

Argh, Australia? I'm totally fucking jealous. Brain scan? Double argh! Double jealousy! Or something...

Thanks for the compliment on the name. It started off as my joke DJ name, then began to invade my life. AIM, Hotmail, now this site. It's really beginning to take on a life of its own. Scary!

a few years ago, broke & in NYC, I decided that it might be slightly more interesting than starving to answer an ad for medical studies at something like the New York Institue of Psychiatric Medicine--one of those paid volunteer things where they put you up & prod you for a couple of weeks in exchange for a paycheck. after a few preliminary phone interviews I went there & (after getting off on the wrong floor & being confronted by the sound, & smell, of meat saws & little animals being tortured) I was given a rudimentary physical & an interview with an attractive psychiatrist lady. I was told that the purpose of the study was to take a series of brain scans of "healthy" individuals over a couple of weeks & compare them with brain scans of manic depressive & schizophrenic individuals.

the interview took about 20 minutes, & I thought I did pretty good, except that attractive doctor lady told me, at the conclusion, that I didn't QUITE qualify for "healthy", but that I could come back for an interview with a different doctor & might get a slot on the "manic depressive" team.

not a good week.

anyway, congrats on going to Oz, eh?
