| It was a teppanyaki restaurant called Musashi near Paradise and Tropicana. It was $130.00, but included a small salad, soup, vegetables, and a very tiny shrimp appetizer. It was a 9 oz. Kobe Beef steak. It was the best steak ever.
I guess the closest thing I can compare it to is filet mignon; but even that doesn't really compare. The weird thing about kobe beef is that you can't really feel the muscle fibers. It's like biting into a ground beef patty, but it's a solid piece of meat.
The waitress assured us that the kobe beef was the real thing (shipped directly from Japan); and told us that many restaurants claim to serve kobe beef, but are really serving kobe-style beef from somewhere other than Japan. I wanted to mention this because I had "kobe beef" at the Bellagio buffet, and it wasn't very good. Yeah...that probably wasn't the real stuff.
Anyway, if any of you have over a hundred dollars to spare, I highly recommend trying kobe beef steak. |

It's not that I can't memorize anything...it's just too much too fast. Within the previous 5 weeks, we were expected to memorize 294 structures in the lower extremities, and 216 structures in the upper extremities (a total of 510 structures). In addition to memorizing their names, we were also expected to memorize their location, function, and relationships with each other. Lastly, we were expected to be able to identify these structures in various cadavers and radiological cross-sections. It's just too much for me.
It would have been easier for me if there was some sort of logical progression. Nope. This group of muscles do this, but not that. They are all innervated by this nerve, except for this muscle, which is innervated by that nerve. It is supplied by this artery, which goes alongside this vein, up until this point, where it splits off into opposite sides, towards another group of muscles. This group of muscle flexes this joint, but two muscles outside of this group also perform the same action. These two muscles are innervated by different nerves, blah, blah, blah.
It's not impossible to learn, it's just really hard for me. The bulk of memorization really turns me off; but I've really only got two options: give up or try harder.
I have an anatomy long quiz in two weeks, and I have anatomy class/lab twice a week. I promise to study anatomy Monday - Saturday for the next two weeks in hopes that I will get an A on that quiz.
I'm hoping that since I declared it to all of you, I'm more likely to stick to that promise. If ever you see me on facebook chat or google chat, please ask me if I've studied anatomy that day. I'll be very grateful for it.

When you see a Latter-Day Saint book section at Barnes and Nobles:
Imagine that.
While we're on the topic, here's a little something I found on google maps:
It's in Arizona. It's about 300 miles from Las Vegas. That's right, this lake does not drink alcohol.

Let's compare a couple of maps. Southern California:
Look at that cluster of cities
Now let's look at a map of Las Vegas under the same magnification:
How many cities do you see? Well, there's Las Vegas, Henderson, and Boulder City. Well, if you go waaaay west of Las Vegas, you'll hit Pahrump. And that's about it. It's like an island; but instead of it being surrounded by beautiful beaches, it's surrounded by dirt and rocks.
It's really weird to not have any neighboring cities. Fortunately, there's really no need to go outside of Vegas. Everything is here.

It was a girl (and not very attractive, I might add) who sent a message that said something about her being new to the site, and how she was browsing through profiles and found me interesting. Then she provided a link to her nudie website.
I mean, I expect this kind of stuff from myspace...but rottentomatoes.com? I was shocked.
