"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

eep. poor ita!

It's way too early and I've been up forever. First with apocalyptic imagery and then with the idea that I could finish my homework.

Then I got stuck and I realized the Buffistas might be able to help.

What is the name of the instrument that is used to crack open a chest during thoracic surgery? And what is the name of the device that keeps the chest the open during same? Are they the implement?

All of those weeks of watching GA and House and I've still got nothing!

Please to help!

Isn't there something called a rib spreader? I think that's the second thing you're asking about. I don't know if it's the same implement they use for cracking open the chest or not.

Um... I know they use regular hardware store-variety bolt cutters during autopsies.

See? Watching Dr. G, Medical Examiner does pay off in unexpected ways!

I just ate breakfast and watched The Daily Show and was pleased to find out that Aasif Mandvi is now an official correspondent there.

I'm thinking maybe I read his other book, and the same thing comes up, so I go look on my shelf, and not only have I read Running With Scissors before, I OWN IT. I was never great at comprehension and retention, but that's ridiculous.

Heh, we mysteriously have 2 copies of Running With Scissors, and I suspect something similar happened.

I just bit my lip again. I may have to go on a liquid diet. A non-alcoholic liquid diet.

Either that or finally bite your lip off, which will also solve the problem.

I can't afford cosmetic surgery, man.

Our wings are not tired.

I hear they have injections for the fat lip look. You don't have to do it yourself.
