Ahhhhhh House!

Cameron: There's no other way to look at a brain. House: Transcranial doppler sonography. Foreman: She said brain, not pregnant woman's uterus. They do sound alike. House: I used one to look at a brain this morning. Foreman: Why didn't you take the patient to radiology, get an MRI? House: [looks behind to check if anyone's listening in] Obviously I was doing something illegal and using nuclear imaging would have raised questions. Foreman: You're not going to get a diagnosis of MS from a sonogram! House: Not definitively, but patients with MS have more reactive neurons in their occipital cortex. [he walks out yet again, but quickly peers back in] Ok then. Cuddy: Thank you for all coming to today's lecture by Dr Phillip Weber. Who is our guest today. At out hospital, to talk about... headaches. Dr Weber is at the Weber Center for Pain, that makes sense. [mutters]Weber, Weber. Erm, so please welcome Dr Weber. [audience claps, camera pans to House sitting alone wearing his trucker cap from Sports Medicine, a green jacket, and sunglasses] Weber: Thank you Dr... [pretends to check his file] Cuddy. [audience laughs. Cuddy pretends to smile but spares House a glare before exiting the lecture theatre] I suppose I should tell you err... a little bit more about myself. [Wilson enters the hall and sits down next to House, he stares at House's strange outfit] Weber: I went to school in Virginia. [hear him in the background] Wilson: You've never been to one of these things in your life, who is this guy? House: [shrugs] No idea. Wilson: What's with the outfit? House: Sudden chills, and light sensitivity. Inexplicable. Weber: I received my medical degree at Johns Hopkins University, where I studied under Brightman and Gilmar. Wilson: [looks thoughtful] Hmm! He must be good. You went to Hopkins and studied under Brightman and Gilmar. House: Shhh... Weber: This helped me to win the Doyle internship at the Mayo Clinic. Wilson: You were supposed to get the Doyle internship. [he looks between House and Weber, suddenly realising] This guy's von Lieberman?! The guy got you thrown out for cheating? House: The Dean threw me out. Von Lieberman just ratted on me. Wilson: This guy's name is Weber, not von Lieberman. House: I call him Weber von Lieberman. Way eviler. Shh. Weber: --and the receptors have improved the acute treatment of migraines. To this point, the prevention of-- [in the background] Wilson: So what's the plan? You going to wait 'til he bends over then make a fart sound? House: I'm not here about the past, he's a bad scientist. Wilson: Well you cheated off him, how bad can he be? House: He got the answer wrong.

Who is your favourite Baron-Cohen?

Sascha Baron-Cohen Simon Baron Cohen As I see Ali G back in the limelight I think yet again of his brilliant cousin and the possibilities of working with him!So I guess it's pretty obvious who my favourite Baron-Cohen is!

Poems written by Aspies

Aspergers ......a syndrome most people don't know It's found in a place where the bravest wont go. Happy though I long to be , locked up in myself for company. A place set aside and for others like me. I would like to escape, to run and to hide, but there is no way out as I have looked and have tried. You see, its not in a room that I find I'm confined, Just caught up in myself - some how in my mind. So on my own I now know that I am forced to be, So I guess you'll not want to swap places with me. Beautiful song on the wing of a bird, most beautiful sound that i've ever heard. If I were a bird, then i'm sure it would be, that the feeling inside would be one that was free, taking flight to a place, that I would want to go, then all that I feel would just make sense and go. Its with the simple things that I struggle you see. I would fly to a land with a knowledge pool, so vast so emense, to understand everything, would make so much sense, an impossible task that I ask this to be. But one thing I will ask.......is please understand me.

It's an Aspie thing!

Found this awesome website tonight: Website Been spending a bit of time on the NZ trainspotters group I signed up for. Yes I AM a geek and I regard calling me so as a compliment! Oh Look, a hippo cell!

This is real!

This photo was taken in Petone on the 24th of February this year! The train is moving!

Foreign Concept!

Over the last few days I have had many people talk about a strange phenomenon called a "holiday". Apparently this 'holiday' is occuring right now. As I am currently at work I fail to see how this fits into the 'holiday' idea. I have heard the 'holiday' started on Friday. On that day I travelled to Owaka to train some youth for a national competition. I returned last night and got up today to work for Student Computing Services. Over the next week while most students take advantage of the 'holday' I will still be tutoring a couple of students, and working on my thesis.

I love aviation psychology!

Tragedy!

Just trying out my new scanner! (Old pictures!)
