I've recently seen Holiday On Ice (Spirit of the World) three times. Of course on Red Cross duty. What I mainly loved about it was the dancing and the music, and those hot butts in tight jeans skating around a small arena. Mainly there was some really good music , and some really hot guys. It won't surprise you that there was little to do for me, medically that is. The only thing I did get to do was wrap up a bleeding finger properly, after another medic just taped a gaze on it, which it plainly bled right through. I thought it needed stitching so I sent the guy to the doctor's post.
I had expected more from Holiday On Ice.
I love musicals, I think I have finally discovered theatre.
I just returned from the first meeting for the SIGMA HOC training, the disaster relief medical team which I'll probably join. I have an intake meeting next monday. There were about 25 people there at this first meeting, some of them I know from Red Cross shifts. There were also people there whom I found incapable of serving this team, since they were obese, female and old.
Fortunately they didn't have to be told they were unable to perform this duty, and reached that conclusion themselves when the details of this job became apparent.
Besides that, I'm thinking of switching to studying Dutch instead of English. My affinity with Dutch is greater than with English - naturally - and I was stunned at how much I sucked at Dutch. Yeah, I thought I was quite brilliant, but grammer - and even spelling - tests were slaughters, hardly anyone (let alone me) made it through the initial tests. And I really like that there are more male teachers there...
It's still in f*cking Leeuwarden, instead of Groningen; which means I'll still have to travel over an hour to get to school.
Scouting is taking up a lot of time as well as the Red Cross. I've started managing all of our scouting groups first aid coffers, arranged a cut in the price of supplies with one supplier (which usually only goes to Red Cross and First Aid organizations), and just finished establishing what should go in the coffers.
Now I need to get the money from scouting to buy this stuff. It's amazing what kind of obsolete and downright absurd stuff I dug up in the old first aid coffers. Army bandages from 1981, surgical knives, surgical clamps and fat impregnated cottons; to name a few. This first refill will be the most expensive, some coffers were damaged beyond repair and need replacement and much of the bandages and disinfectants were way past their expiration date. I hope we can cope.
I'm also starting to grow fond of Tyra Banks, her show at least. There are some pretty interesting topics on YouTube, in full. Perhaps she will become the next most influential woman in the world, when Oprah leaves us. They have a lot in common, really.
That's all for now, see you folks later.

I seldom watch Tyra Banks but she has some interesting guests and topics. Last week I was able to watch one program in which the topic was intersex (hermaphrodite) people. One of the intersexuals she had on the show looked like and lived as a semi-butch lesbian of mostly white Puerto Rican origin, but who had modeled part time as young man in the past. The other was a young mulato who lived as a male and had a girlfriend. However, he had developed small female breasts at puberty and tried to mutilate them with a hot curling iron.
