   The promised update ^_^
It's 16:51 PST and I'm typing away madly 'cause I'm about to go shower. Woohoo! Way to go Tracy, updating your myO when you have another task to finish XD

Lesse, Saturday... Hm... Well, I wanna talk about Sunday (Halloween, and how did that holiday go for y'all? Cheffie couldn't sit behind his door with a BB gun this year, but he said that he may try a broom next year ^_^). See, I went to the "famous" ScienCenter here in CA. I dragged my whole family there, actually. And, uhm, I went to the Center only because of the BodyWorlds exhibit. It's a traveling group, and this is the first time it's here in the US, right here in CA ^_^ I feel so fortunate, lol.

The trip going there was dull, but once at the ScienCenter grounds, my surprise mirrored those around in my family. It was a HUGE place with a nice IMAX just right across ^_^ Lots of fun. Anyway, I walked by a huge F-12 airfighter thing. It wasn't that interesting, and it was there because of the Air and Space Gallery nextdoor along with the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles.

Uhm, as I neared the entrance to the ScienCenter (not a typo, people) I arched my neck so that I could stare up at the nice purple dome overhead. I swear, it was AWESOME. Shame I didn't snap any pictures for you. Hm, Mother bought tickets, we went inside, and then...

The exhibit.


Talk about grotesque! Yet it was still so interesting, looking at all of the dead, plastinated people and their bodies. Educational, honestly. You can see all the muscles, blood veins, all sorts of things! There's the oppurtunity of seeing embryos (sad, too), a smoker's lung compared to a healthy one, various livers, stomachs, hearts, and organs with diseases.


It's hard for me to describe without boring you to death.

Perhaps when the BodyWorlds exhibit is in your state (sorry, Europeans and those residing in Asia missed their chance already), you should attempt to make a plan. The small prices for the different tickets... They're worth it. Seriously.

Well, for me it was. I mean, I don't think BodyWorlds is something that you can see every minute of your life. And there were other exhibits I had a chance to visit. 'course, they weren't exactly as unique and fun as BW, but...yeah.

I should get going.

Mind you, everything is real. The bodies are from donors that said they'd donate their bodies to science after death. It's kind of hard to believe at first when you see it, but... Yeah.
