Party Blerg

new years eve began with a rocky start. 2009 was ushered in by poppin' bottles (real ones...and the song!), but then took a turn for the worse when i had to play DD. after selecting our final destination the drinking began(for me) and the evening turned out much better than anticipated. still, i feel that the night did not live up to my nar jar expectations for starting '09 off right.

with that said, i have decided that i actually celebrated new year's eve on friday the 2nd.

fake new year's eve and the birth of the party blerg...which no one else will give a shit about

INTERACTIVE MUSIC MAP

someone with too much time on his hands made this badass map. type in an artist you listen to and find where they fall. even better, type in your last fm user name and see where your favorites are plotted.

clinical skills

omg. nerd fun.

so a week or so ago i teamed up with a classmate of mine and participated in the sshp clinical skills competition. um... we got second place for our class! which is pretty boss for not knowing what the fuck to do. 43 teams participated overall. not sure how many from my class, but i would say at least 10+. and these arent dumb kids. im talking MASTERS and PHDs. kicked their asses. take that.

its for your health, doofus

how to floss your teeth

• pull out approximately 18in. of floss, and wrap most of it around the middle finger


• wrap the remaining floss round the same finger of the opposite hand. about an inch of floss should be held between the thumbs and forefingers.


• do not snap the floss between the teeth; instead, use a gentle, sawing motion to guide the floss to the gumline.


• when the gumline is reached, curve the floss into a C-shape against one tooth, and gently slide the floss into the space between the gum and tooth until you feel resistance.


• hold the floss tightly against the tooth, and gently scrape the side of the tooth while moving the floss away from the gums.


• curve the floss around the adjoining tooth, and repeat the procedure.
