went to the bodyworld exhibit yesterday. i was kinda excited 'bout going. i mean, looking at ur insides, kind of excites me. [no i am not weird]

anyway, it was a MAJOR disappointment.

to begin with, it was a waste of $12. everything was so neat and quiet and organised. i had seen a few shots of the exhibits before on TV and stuff but it was so lame and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING up close. what i kinda expected was just dead people, preserved, and still whole. with all their skin on top of their muscles and stuff. and then maybe some sections cut out so u can look inside. with some blood here and there. ok, so maybe that might be scientifically impossible but it would have been a lot more interesting.

the only cool part of the exhibit was when i got to touch a brain and [if i'm not mistaken] a liver. the liver was really smooth and velvety to touch. it had a really nice feel to it. but the brain looked weird. it wasn't red. maybe it's because of the preserving chemical thingys but it looked slightly bronze under the red. like it went for a ten! haha! [lame] the brian felt kinda slimy and hard.the twins didn't touch it though. thin was sorta ick about it. and lin just didn't. dunno why. it was actually pretty cool.

most of the exhibits were in really weird postitions. one of the guys were in a sorta running position. another one was on a pair of skis and there was one with a lasso in his hand. lin was wondering if they had died that way. actually she was being sarcastic-funny about it.

there were only 2 female exhibits, the rest were guys. DO PEOPLE EVEN HAVE TO BE SEXIST ABOUT DEAD BODIES BEING PUT UP ON DISPLAY????????? WHAT IS UP WITH THAT!!!!!!!

one of the female exhibits were cut up along the tummy. u could see the intestines and stomach and lungs blah blah blah in it. but the most amazing thin was that inside the womb, there was a baby curled up in it, with the umbilical cord [i'm not sure if that's the correct] still attached. i thought it was beautiful. the twins thought i was a mental case. no surprise there. that was an insult aimed at the twins. not me...the twins.

anyway...it was an ok day. right now, i'm sitting in my PJs with my pillow on my lap and i have the flu. i think i'll play road rash now. bye.

LATER...MUCH

P.S - mel, i'm really sorry 'bout the whole gig thing. it was a long time ago, but i still wanna apologise...again. oh, and i'm sorry i didn't know u were at camp.
