BODIES

Brian took me to see Bodies the Exhibit yesterday.
WEIRD SHIT.

I went in with this most ridiculous attitude that I would be totally unaffected by the cadavers that were on display.
WRONG.
I mean honestly, how could someone really not be affected by at least one of the following:
1) Neatly severed limbs in glass boxes
2) Fetuses
3) Fetuses IN THE WOMB
4) The Bodies in general.
5) Cancerous organs

Man oh man oh man oh ohman.

I was actually a little nauseous by the end. I had seen juuuust about as much as I could handle.
It was very surprising for me that I went in with one expectation and left with something very different from that expectation.
Being an expert at single-mindedness, usually when I choose an expectation I get what I expect because that's how strong my tunnelvision is. I can't say I was pleasantly surprised, but it was a good surprise nonetheless.

I also can't say I would see the exhibit again, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it was AWESOME.


I do recommend that everyone go see Bodies (though I'm sure I'm one of the last people ever in the tri-state area anyway) unless you have any any any doubts.
Because they'll probably come true and you'll barf or cry or pass out or something else equally embarrassing.
