I’m sorry Dr. Stephens, I know you’re a cool guy and all… but I had to skip your class to attend Dr. Rasner’s lecture on how to make 3.2 million dollars/year doing implants and whole mouth reconstruction.

I like Dr. Chou – although he stated he isn’t the clearest of all speakers, he made sure we understood the topic and made the lecture engaging. I think I learned more from him than the previous BioMat Lecturers.

The spacers hurt. Earlier today, I had the cornerstones of the braces installed on all four of my first molars (#3, #14, #19, and #30). They are like little crowns of thorn that stick into the sides of the mouth and the sides of my tongue. I can’t quite move my tongue [...]

Scent of a Woman is one movie that should not be judged by its cover. I really hadn’t a clue what it was going to be about… and to be honest, I don’t think it’s one of Pacino’s best roles and deserving of Academy Awards.
Charlie Simms was an honor student at a prestigious private [...]

I think 3 guys, looking for food, shouldn’t go to Newberry Street. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to realize most of the money on the entree would be going toward renting the damn place, not to the world famous chef in the back.
Joe’s American Bar and Grill is your run-of-the-mill slightly upscale restaurant [...]

I was only interested in Æon Flux because of Charlize Theron. Not because she was hot, but because of her previous roles in Monster and North Country. Charlize Theron was amazing in those two roles but I suppose she decided to do AF because it demonstrated her … “wide range” in ability (or [...]
