The Art of Languaging; Keep It Simple, Sugartits.

Finally done with the at times interminable two-day lecture on The Alexander Discipline. Which really isn't as ridiculous as I thought it would be. There were a few good things I drew from it. One of their "principles" was "Keep It Simple, Sir," or "Keep It Simple, Sweetheart." Moody (the lecturer) pointed out that yes, it was a PC version of "Keep It Simple, Stupid." Neal, sitting next to me, promptly asks me, "How about 'Keep It Simple, Sugartits?'" And today's great quote was Moody talking about communicating to patients using "The Art of Languaging." I can't make this stuff up. Seriously, I wish I could, because it's some funny shit.

We got done around 3pm; I spent two hours mapping out every AAO member orthodontist who practices in Chicago. Or rather, just getting a list of them off the clunky-ass website. I still have to map them out on my wall.

I tried to take a nap, since it'll be a 20-hour day for me after I get home from WNUR, but despite feeling tired, no sleep came. Fuck. Tomorrow will be a groggy day, and I think I have a paper due on Thursday morning. I'll find out on Monday exactly what I have to read, I guess.
