I'm so glad this semester is almost over I just have a physics finnal on monday and then a biology and organic chem one on tuesday then I'm done.
 
I have to make up soooo much stuff for school for the week I missed. Luckily though this doctors note has come in handy in giving me extra time to get my studying in. The doc wrote that I should be excused for a week for recovery, so really I can probably get incomplete in all my classes and have the extra time to really make the grades I want. It will suck having to do work all the way up to when summer session starts though. No break in between school :(

Anyway, gonna watch some TV and work on some reactions
 
I'm getting better by the day :), still gonna go see the doctor and see if he thinks it was simple malnutrition or indicative of a new/preexisting problem.

Also, Latvian beer + cigar = a pleasant afternoon (though I've never been so dissatisfied with the end of a novel as Hyperion. I mean, it didn't even end, it just stopped right before the climax. WTF. Hugo award winning scifi masterpiece my ass :p).
 
Holy crap, "Archer" is a hilarious tv show. I freaking love it.

Spent today making a cactus tea, lots of boiling and filtering, may sample it tomorrow.
 
In the process of making some pretty incredible lamb stew, has been cookin in the crockpot for bout 4-5 hours now. In the meantime studying for a poetry final :)
 
Cactus tea is bitter medicine.

Interestingly the bitter flavor reminds me of ku gua (bitter melon). Bitter is one of the primary flavors in Chinese medicine. I studied chinese medicine for a semester in Beijing and found it very interesting.

Here's a quote from a website about bitter:
"Bitter possesses the function of clearing heat, purging the bowels, lowering the qi, improving appetite and drying dampness or wetness. Bitter herbs are commonly used in fire-heat patterns, such as the acute stage of infectious disease, and the patterns of damp-heat or damp-cold, such as in arthritis or leucorrhoea."

I wonder how cactus would fit into chinese medicine.

Woah, you studied TCM? That's pretty cool man, I'm impressed.


So anyway, I'm thinking that unless the doc suspects something serious that would make it especially unwise to do so, tomorrow night will be a dissociative night. Yeah yeah, I know it's only been a month, but I want to see whether or not the lack of ego-dissolving properties last time was an inexorable aspect of tolerance or an isolated event.
