Just a note

I would just like to say a few things.
To the prof who put a picture of a puking pumpkin in the power point presentation on eating disorders: Real sensitive. You're on the list.

To my body in general: stop producing prostaglandins. To my uterus specifically: stop trying to claw your way out of my abdomen. It really, really hurts and makes it difficult for me to study.

To Amina, who taught me that the best treatment, if not cure, for dysmenorrhea is a combo of red wine, David Sedaris essays and Sade (Sha-DAY, the singer of 'Smooth Operator,' which I thought of every time someone mentioned the obturator nerve last year in anatomy...actually, I think of lots of inappropriate songs at inappropriate moments...for instance:
-Talking to one of my high school friends about how she finally stopped self-mutilating: 'The First Cut is the Deepest,' by Sheryl Crow
-When one of my acquaintances (who I didn't particularly like) got evicted in college: 'There's No Home for You Here' by the White Stripes
-Watching Ann Coulter on FoxNews: 'Evil and a Heathen' by...shit, what was that band that came to play at Cornell my junior year?
-Listening to an attractive member of the faculty discuss drug abuse and dependence: 'Addicted to Love'
-At the 'Get to Know your Administrators' lunch: 'Dean's Dream' by the Dead Milkmen
-Sitting in the lecture on treating sexual dysfunction: 'Limp' by Fiona Apple)

Damn that was a long parenthetical.

Oh, and to Fiona Apple, since I'm thinking of it: Thank you for your body of work. Please put out another album.
