It's 11:05 am
I spent the first part of my morning camped out at the DMV trying to renew my car registration that is due...today. This is what happens when one procrastinates in changing the address on their License after moving and inadvertantly never receives their renewal notice...
Stopped by target on the way home, picked up K, ate some breakfast and now the little one is currently passed out on the couch with exhaustion...
This afternoon we will eat lunch with David and then head out to a movie at the three dollar theater nearby.
We hit up the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on tuesday for the free day. Right now the King Tut exhibit is going on. We didn't go to that as it costs around 25$ a person but they did have a hands on children's exhibit on egypt that was pretty neat. WE got to unearth artifacts burried in sandboxes using paint brushes and other archaeological tools. We made jewelry to decorate a mummy sarcophagus, wrote our names in hieroglyphs, and read books on mummification. We walked over to the main museum after and walked through the modern art wing which was confusing to K (and to myself i must admit) and through one other wing with central american art and some other types as well. K, being at the age he is at, and, never having had 'art' surround his life, is still convinced that nudity in art is 'nasty' regardless of the fact that it is art. K enjoyed the religious art because he could identify Jesus. It was as though he finally understood something in this massive space of personal expression. While looking at one painting of a crucifixion scene he said that he felt sad because Jesus was up there instead of him...It was interesting because while we've talked about Jesus and the cross, and the reason he died, he never seemed to comprehend that (who would...an act of grace that earth shattering doesn't make sense). Out of the blue K comes out with a comment like that. Cool. his mind is churning.
I had my marathon day of classes yesterday. Got my ear "seeded" for my TMJ by a classmate. (Seed therapy is in place of acupuncture on the ear. tiny seeds (i have indian mustard seeds) are taped on the ear to provide constant stimulation to a point. I'm not sure what i think about seed therapy yet, i need to read some research on it...
My anatomy class proved to be ever engaging as we talked at length about HDL LDL high cholesterol etc... Cholesterol meds should always be a last resort in my humble, first year of oriental medical school, opinion. Cholesterol levels of individuals suffering from heart attacks, strokes, or other blockages are across the board. What has shown up consistantly in individuals suffering from the above is elevated homocysteine levels (an amino acid) which can be reduced by taking vitamin B12. I continually find information like this fascinating in light of pharmaceutical companies perpetually pushing drugs at the public...but i won't go into that rant right now. i'll save that for a later blog.
i'm off to studying........
