I need to start carrying around an ideas notebook so I can
write down things that I think about during the week that would be good for blogging;
I fear this may make me look like an asshole though. This week I swear I
thought of loads of interesting things to talk about but now I can’t for the
life of me think what they are. Oh well, another boring blog it is.
I was sick for the first time in almost exactly one year on
Monday night; I was very disappointed with myself. I also missed all of my
things the next day because I thought vomiting on a cadaver would probably have
been frowned upon.
Okay this is a bit serious but I signed up to be on the bone
marrow register on Wednesday. You guys, it’s a really really good thing to do
as finding matching donors is really rare and you will literally save someone’s
life if you are a match. It’s also not nearly as bad as people seem to think.
They usually take your bone marrow by using a dialysis type machine and just
filter it out of your blood. To me it seems that for a few hours of your own
discomfort you can completely save another person’s life and that is pretty
great. Watch this video, it’s nice.
I saw Kerry, Matt, Jonny and Mima on Friday which was really
cool. They went to see Bon Iver and I didn’t because tickets were so damn expensive.
It was ok; they didn’t go on about it too much afterwards. We got drunk at Jo’s
after and that was nice. On Saturday we went to Flavourz with a ‘z’. Matt ate
an awful lot of food, it was impressive. We also looked at some shops and in
House of Fraser I tried on the most expensive piece of clothing I have ever
worn. It was a green and purple jacket thing with suede elbow patches and it
was £400. The shop lady came over and tried to sell it to me, do I look like
the kind of person who can buy £400 jackets? I hope I do.
This week I get to pretend to be a doctor again. This time
we’re doing the respiratory system so lots of looking at lungs I guess. I am
excited.
I would like to set you a challenge this week if that’s ok.
I propose that you post your favourite piece of comedy, be it stand up or a
sketch or whatever, just try and make everyone else laugh. To get you in the
mood here is a very funny sketch from this week’s episode of Life’s Too Short.
The rest of the program is not very good but this bit made me laugh a lot.
While we’re on the topic of Liam Neeson, look at the company
that made the lifts in Jo’s halls at uni.
The End.
