Sister: What? He told you that?
Mom: Yeah.
Sister: When?!?
Mom: On Twitter.

It's a crazy place in my head. You've been warned. My posts may contain anywhere from a touch to a ton of sarcasm.
For my more serious side, look elsewhere (preferably at my other blog: JeffreyMD.com).

It’s no good trying to keep up old friendships. It’s painful for both sides. The fact is, one grows out of people, and the only thing is to face it.
GPOYW - Proof that I’m not scared of miniature people.
This was taken around Christmas in 2009. The miniature adult in pink is my cousin’s niece. I don’t know if she appreciates me making a face at her. But hey, someone needs to teach her these things.
My dear, little sister came over today. I’m studying for my Pathophysiology exam tomorrow so I asked her if she could cut some flashcards I printed out for pharmacology.
Can’t say she was excited about sitting down to cut out flashcards, but she agreed.
After a few minutes I checked on her and this is how I found her. She had fallen asleep by 12:30 the night before and ate “breakfast” around noon today. So it’s not like she stayed up all night.
This picture was taken at around 3pm. If sleeping were a sport, my sister could run with the best of them. I almost wrote “sleep with the best of them,” but that just sounds wrong.
Has anyone ever tried aerosolizing caffeine and using it with an inhaler?
What? Call it pharmacology research.
Ok, I’m asking for you.
This is ridiculous. My first move was a skip. Because what word can I play without a vowel?!?
I tweeted this earlier: Today’s study session has involved scissors and glue sticks. And that’s how Kindergarten prepared me for medical school. Tell your kids.
Here’s the proof. Old-school “cut and paste.”

Once again plagiarism of tweets has come up. Here’s Twitter’s position on copying tweets (screenshot as of March 15, 2010).
I’m no expert at copyright law. Nor am I a lawyer. But it doesn’t look to me like Twitter is working to remove funny one-liners that have been tweeted without attribution to the original source. The written policy seems to be geared more towards written works that have been copied and tweeted.
I know there are some lawyers among you. What’s your take on the matter?
