Cauliflower ear . . . so hott right now

Sometimes I read things that I really don't expect.

Apparently, according to this article, mixed martial arts (M.M.A.) has a trademark deformity called "cauliflower ear." It is caused by repeated blows to the ears, and develops when the injured ear is left untreated.

You can get an idea of what it looks like here, in a fight between James Thompson and Kimbo Slice.

Apparently, chicks dig this kind of stuff. There's nothing like a bloody, pus-filled ear to make 'em swoon.

Anyway, moving on. Dre and I are tying the knot a week from this Saturday. We saw a lot of people last weekend in the Springs, which was really, really nice. I did alright on the GRE; I know I could have done better if I just could have had a little time, but I suppose all that matters is the fact that my score is good enough for the grad program I want to get in to.

I'm taking the GRE tomorrow at 8:00. I feel confident about the 400-some words I've been studying since April 7, and fortunately the math isn't calc, advanced trig, etc. etc. Wish me luck . . .

I'm meeting with an advisor at UNC on Friday to go over the classes I have to take. I made a three semester plan of all the speech language pathology courses I need, but I'm not sure how my CSU core classes transfer to UNC. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

The wedding is a month from tomorrow, and I think we've got everything in place. Can't wait!
