BODIES
I went to BODIES The Exhibition last night at the Atlanta Civic Center. I have to say that I found it pretty fascinating. The amount of time and attention to detail that must have gone into sculpting these bodies. There are real corpses in the everyday poses of life......Pretty interesting. For the squeamish, the exhibit is not too much of a problem due to the rubberised polymer they used that gives the bodies a plasticy, playdough sort of look. You might find the eyes a little freaky though. My favorite part of the exhibition was the Circulatory System. The designers injected the blood stream with another polymer and then used a chemical to dissolve away the rest of the body. This results in some extremely colorful displays of the body's blood vessels. Near this section was a display of the entire the nervous system....AMAZING! Other things of note were the various tumors and diseases on display. I have to say the lung cancer made me feel a little bad about myself. Of course my girlfriend made sure to point it out, as I knew she would. Besides that I found it very enjoyable. If you are interested in the human body I highly recommend this exhibit.

Been gone for some time
I haven't been active with blogger for a good bit. I've been missing it and been meaning to get back around to it for a while. I'm no longer living in the Azelea City so I figured time to start a new one for my present ATL location. Hopefully, my friends will post here too so everyone can see what we are up to.
