It’s been a very busy last couple of days; 2010 is, clearly, picking up… Finally, however, this morning I submitted some new compositions to the copyright office, posted some new music online and that’s even before i had time to think that i don’t have time to have breakfast 😉

I wanted to record the arrangement of Christmas Carols that I grew up with in Poland for a very long time. Finally, i did it. The compilation is a reflection on what Christmas time means to me… It seems that this season has become a time for fishing for “perfect” gifts, spending obscene amounts of money, and being guilted into donating to charities… (Do we really need to wait a whole year to give a few bucks, or a few hours of our time to a nearby soup kitchen)… Isn’t it sickening that while ThanksGiving day is not over yet, local grocery stores already offer “deals” on X-mas “perfect” gifts for your loved ones?
“The more you spend, the more you save?” really? Which economy theory is that?
So, what does Christmas mean to shpakOO?

There are many reasons to go to Pathology Grand Rounds talks in my school (Thursdays 12:30 @ Fitkin auditorium). Food has always been one of them, as evidenced by a growing number of individuals who will show up (usually 10-15 minutes earlier) take a COUPLE of sandwiches (that’s FOUR halves) eat them and leave within the first 5 minutes of the lecture. That’s a story for a whole another post…
I usually go there to see breath-taking pictures of spectacular tumors (yes, while eating lunch, call  me sick) or learn something new about methods of diagnostics, treatment options, or admire our astounding lack of understanding of tumorigenesis, etc… Generally the talks can get very technical (too technical? Zzzz Zzzz), today, however, it was one of those rare cases when we had an engaging and interactive speaker with a very refreshing set of ideas to present. It was Dr. Bevin Engelward from MIT. The ideas presented were somewhat ground-breaking and provocative, questioning the relative importance of cell’s exposure to stress (UV, oxygen, radiation) to formation of cancer.
