looking good

trying to feel good

eating good

hmmm

So when I was in college and we were learning to draw blood for studies we started on a plastic arm with fake veins and blood and such in it. Then when that was mastered we moved onto each other.

Yes, poking each other in the arm was part of our school grade. Oh man, the people with no confidence hurt you soo badly.

Having talked with people who go to massage school, they practice massage on each other and volunteers. When you are going to hair cutting school they have dummies with replaceable hair for you to cut. And then people who are super cheap will eventually come into the school for a cheap student cut. That's pretty brave if you ask me.

But that got me thinking. The people who do waxing, estheticians, how do they learn and practice? Is there like a eye brow dummy? A brazilian dummy? Or do they have to practice on each other? YIKES. Talk about wanting to have a good "lab partner".....
Or do people go in off the street? Whatever it is.... I'm glad I don't have to do it.

Faca na Caveira

Today I am watching "Tropa de Elite 2", the sequel to the biggest movie in Brazil, "Tropa de Elite" that came out in 2007.

A dvd of the first movie was leaked before the movie even came out and I was easily able to get an English subtitled version of good quality of the web. This time they did a better job against the pirates and I have to watch a poor quality hand held camera version with no subtitles. Good thing I don't speak Portuguese. hahahaha. Or is that kkkkkkkk?

If you want to see epic, gritty, real movies about the crime, social problems and police in Brasil then these are the movies you have to watch. The story is told in a way you would never see from the typical Hollywood crap.

So I was chatting with someone who will not be named on Facebook this morning. We were chatting about my bike ride yesterday and such. She asked me what I think was an odd question though.....

and I quote "Ohhh, doesn't it hurt to ride your bike if you are dealing with a pussy infection?"

You know what, I think it would! Thankfully though I only have to ride my bike while dealing with an infection in my surgical scar.

civic fun

No, I don't mean getting busy in the back of a small, entry level Japanese car. And unless it's a 4 door, I can only imagine how cramped that would be....

What I really mean is I was selected for jury duty this Friday. Fun! The only thing is I have two doctors appointments on Monday, so I can't really be selected for anything that would take time.

See ya on the trolley!
