Bend it Like Aloo Gobi

August 17th, 2004

I was browing the bonus material on the Bend it Like Beckham DVD recently (good movie, go watch it) and found a cool unexpected bonus: a recipe for my favorite Indian dish, aloo gobi. During this short 10-minute clip, the director of the movie (a British Indian woman) prepared the dish for us just like […]

Stripper, M.D.

August 10th, 2004

For today’s ICM workshop, which was on “Surface Anatomy”, they brought in artist models (models that normally pose for artists) to help us out. ..by getting topless and letting us touch them as much as we needed. We got to palpate, percuss, and auscultate as much as we wanted, and actually I still don’t really […]

Dead Domino Damselfish

August 9th, 2004

It looks like I won’t need to make a decision over what to do with this damselfish imprisoned in the milk container…he decided to die. So now I have a fat domino damselfish floating upside-down in a milk container. That’s the end of that, I guess.

Damn Domino Damselfish

August 8th, 2004

After months of watching this chubby black damselfish terrorize all the other fish, scare away the other fish during eating time, and practically chew up another fish in the tank, I finally caught this fat bastard and removed him from the tank.You gotta realize that this was no small feat…I’ve tried this once a few […]

My First Apple!

August 7th, 2004

I bought my first Apple computer ever today…a 12-inch iBook with a 1GHz G4 processor! Having bought PC’s my entire life (and also having said in the past that I’d never be a Mac person), this is serious news here.
I’ve played around with Mac OS X in the past and have already been impressed by […]

Kid’s Play

August 5th, 2004

In our lecture on blood flow today, we learned what flows, pressures, and resistances were, and also how they’re related to each other according to physics law called Poiseuille’s law. Our professor was spending forever trying to detail step-by-step what this equation and all its variables meant.
And the whole time I was thinking — in […]

Back for Round 2

August 2nd, 2004

After a brief summer vacation, which included my incredible 6-week trip to Thailand and India, the second year of med school began today…and it felt as if we didn’t even have a break. Summer vacation was so short (eight weeks of summer is hardly a “vacation”) that when returning to the lecture hall today and […]

Entry #1

August 1st, 2004

Welcome to amirschricker.org.
I moved my webpage from the CSUA serves so that I could redesign the site completely without having having first to take down the old pages. You’ll find the same old content here as well as new stuff…like weblogs (made possible by Movable Type) and larger photo albums (using Gallery). Bear with me […]
