Yesterday, I went to the Body Worlds exhibit at the Science Museum. It was pretty interesting for the most part but some of the body displays got a little too bizarre and it all started looking the same.
The process of plastination is really amazing. There were displays of entire humans and animals made up of only blood vessels. The real deal. There were many many organs displayed. Healthy lungs, smoker's lungs, cancerous lungs, livers, bones, arteries, ovaries, fetuses, embryos. I think the best display I saw was a pregnant woman laying on her side belly and baby exposed. Yeah, it could be considered disturbing by some but there was something beautiful about it.
I think it's worth seeing. It's something that gets a bit boring after a while (it took two hours to go through) but looking back and remembering everything is making me like it more.

What was THAT about?!
6/6/06 - The date was apparently in my sub-conscious.
Lots of lightening and thunder last night. I couldn't get my condo cooled down. I went to bed on the couch to be right under the AC. I tossed and turned until about 1 a.m. I think I woke up every hour or so - wide awake.
My dreams were scary. I was at a house, your typical suburban rambler, it was a nice sunny day. I had an object... what was it? I can't remember. I was trying to throw it away. I threw it in the garden and it came back at me. I threw it at another garden and again, it came back at me. Finally I was able to get it to stay. I went inside, sat near the window, opened the curtain and the object was sitting outside on the window sill. This was terrifying.... for obvious reasons, right?
I ran into a bedroom to tell Gabrielle and Carlos Solis (yes, from Desperate Housewives ). I told them all about what happened. We started packing things up to get out but some force in the house was pushing us back and locking the doors.
Suddenly I'm with my mom and step dad. We're all heading out to go to work. I told my mom I couldn't stay in this house alone. Also, I had to get my cats out. . Next thing I know I'm doing some kind of exorcism shit yelling at the house "In the name of God, get out! In the name of God, you are not welcome here!" I was screaming and crying as yelling this over and over. It was the kind of thing where I wonder if I was talking in my sleep.
I woke up scared to death and it's stuck with me all day. I think I need to stop watching so many scary movies.... and Desperate Housewives.
