BODIES

so last night, mandy and i watched a special 20/20 on the BODIES exhibit that's been traveling around to major cities. it had spent some time in framingham/natick, but is no longer in our area. a colleague of ours who had been to see the exhibit had mentioned weeks ago that all of the bodies were asian. that made mandy and me slightly curious, and we didn't end up visiting the exhibit at all. basically, there are lots of speculations that the bodies 1) did not all die of natural causes, 2) weren't donated or released for science/exhibition purposes and 3) may very well be those of executed chinese prisoners. scary. there was a lot of footage suggesting that the company, premier exhibitions, is not exactly ethical in their business workings and there seemed to be a lot of gray area (and gray matter) during the interviews with 20/20.

mands and i went to dinner with jesse & di tonight. we went to margarita's and really had a great time. it was nice to connect with them; as it's been almos 3 weeks since we've seen them. we were excited to wishe them a happy valentine's and catch up on old and new news.

in other news, mandy and i spent most of the day sorting throught books and bookcases. it was actually most productive. we had a good time sorting through what we would donate, and filling the bookcase zachie made us for christmas. pictures to follow soon.

ok, i'm getting sleepy. ttfn.

btw, glad you can comment now...

um...that bodies thing is uber-creepy. i just ate dinner and now i sort of want to throw up. mostly, i can't think about anything else now...must clear my mind. i might be able to do it better if i knew what my mind looked like - maybe i should have gone to the bodies exhibit.

mostly, i think you should start blogging too. i think it is therapeutic. give it a shot there.
