Dear All,
Indo-European reli­gions often refer to 3 female goddesses/beings or 3 incarn­a­tions of the same female entity. Greek examples include Hec­ate, the Fates, the Fur­ies. It has been known to attrib­ute 3 sorts of com­mon arche­types to those “triple god­desses” as they were– the Vir­gin, the Mother, the Crone. Prob­ably the sorts of arche­types most com­mon to mythologies. […]

Upon hear­ing of such grand doc­torly names as “Galaxy” and “Omar”, at my time at Sun­shine Hos­pital (where the weather is determ­inedly over­cast), I began to feel that my own title was per­haps inad­equate. It was at this point that I began to see the tech­nical lan­guage of my chosen career, that of medi­cine, as a treas­ure trove […]

Of a night on MSN, dear Pet0r and I decided that there was some­thing lack­ing from the rep­er­toire of children’s songs. The tragedy of those who do not know how to loc­ate that fabled organ of repute, the clit­oris, is an ill para­mount in moden soci­ety, and such a thing must be rec­ti­fied by the edu­ca­tion of our […]

Six Weeks

Gwen Stefani — What You Wait­ing For? (2004)
Delta Goodrem — Born To Try (2003)
Black Eyed Peas — Where Is The Love? (2003)
Black Eyed Peas — Shut Up (2003)
Eminem — Without Me (2002)

I must say, these titles are gold. “Born to try”, espe­cially.
Where is the love, indeed?

 
Once upon a mid­day dreary, while I slumbered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curi­ous mat­tress of bed­sheets thick,
While I nod­ded, nearly nap­ping, sud­denly there came a drip­ping,
As of water gently drip­ping, drip­ping at my bath­room sink.
” ‘Tis some water,” I muttered, “drip­ping at my bath­room sink;
Only this, and noth­ing more.”
Presently my soul grew stronger; hes­it­at­ing then no longer,
“Sir,” said I, […]

Dear All,
I am slowly get­ting into this “writ­ing” busi­ness, which I feel should give me the focus and import to my life that I sorely crave, as I am sure you have seen from my earlier post! I have rewrit­ten and exten­ded a poem of mine, “The Prin­cess and the War­rior” which I hope to be the first part of a long […]

thread: Why does the Eye & Ear Hos­pital smell like Mee Goreng?
Me: Because it improves your eye­sight and ear­vi­sion!
I roll around laugh­ing hys­ter­ic­ally
Aralu­ena: Ear­vi­sion isn’t even a real word!
thread: Do you think it might be when you have a TV implanted in your ear?
Me: Did you get to see the Earo­vi­sion Con­test of 2005?

Dear All,
I have pur­chased for myself a copy of Bret Easton Ellis’ “Amer­ican Psy­cho” for the pro­cess of research. I have already read “Lol­ita”- an excel­lent book, highly recom­men­ded; Nabokov is bril­liant. I have also fin­ished “House of God”, and I have a copy of “Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger. My next tar­gets, ostens­ibly, should be cer­tain selected […]
