Sooo..... what have I done in the past week or two.

I watched the spiderman musical on broadway. It was excellent and I'd highly recommend it. The sets were remarkable. They stayed very true to the comic-book origins of the Spiderman story and were incredibly dynamic. It felt like a movie so many times.. just a 3D one which was amazing. I loved it. I thought the music was good though Juanita (who I attended this with) seemed to prefer the more classical tunes of musicals like Les Miserable.

My boss also flew off to Paris today so I ran some chores and visited The Metropolitan Museum of Art (aka. the Met) for a short while. It was okay, though I think I'd prefer MOMA the Museum of Modern Art which I'm hoping a certain Cardiologist might take me to.
The Met on 5th Avenue/Museum Mile, this is a few minutes walk from my place.

Yesterday I met up with Ludi, Lilo and Tony who'd flown in from Sydney and we went for dinner at Kester's which I was told was the 'best' pizza in New York - debatable. It was certainly good but I wouldn't say it was surprising or orgasmic or anything like that. After that we happened upon an Open Mic session at Caffe Vivaldi and popped in for some great tunes (and some reallllly bad singing at times).

Brugada Syndrome

I don't think I will ever be a plastic surgeon. Not because I like plastics any less but because I cannot let cardiology go. Today I started studying cardiology cases for my exams and came across a segment on Brugada syndrome and the ECG patterns that are typical to this condition. I was surprised to see that this condition was discovered and described as recently as 1992 by a family of Spanish Catalan doctors (the Brugada doctors). I love finding 'new' cardiology information because the problem with being so interested in something is that I sometimes run out of novel 'findings' to keep me interested in the field. Lately I have been reading about microvascular dysfunction (related to womens cardiac conditions) and today Brugada ECGs. I think I could do this forever.

Connecting the dots

I was reading an article in Forbes today on the world's most influential women and was somewhat struck by the realisation that I float in some of these circles, loosely but in general only by one degree of separation. I have never understood why I have been allowed to meet these people and to get to know them on a personal level. I don't know if anything is meant to come of it, or if perhaps there are just so many of them that all of us know someone or other. But sometimes I can't help but wonder, what the hell. How is it that little old me knows some of the most powerful and some of the richest in the world? I am a nobody. I feel like a nobody. And yet somehow, I've made it to the edges of all this. What??

Life Zzzzzzzzzzzz

I always feel like life needs to be packed with amazing and exciting things... so it never feels right when my weekends are empty. I get bored, and boredom doesn't sit well with me! It will be A.W.E.S.O.M.E. when I am back in my own apartment with pretty furniture and the amazing Apple iMac that I will finally buy and UNLIMITEDDDDD internet. It will certainly be really really awesome.
