AMHD Conference Tomorrow!

Oh dear lord, why does my poster look like a sixth grade science project?
Seriously though, I'm so excited to be presenting my poster at the AMHD "Best Practices" conferences at Ala Moana Center tomorrow!
This will be my first poster ever presented at a scientific conference.
It is about persons on conditional release status living in the Hawaii community. Generally we see them having more severe psychopathology than the rest of the AMHD population. Sadly, they have less contact with their families too :(
Here's hoping I do well!

DJing, a Scott-an Day....

Wow, KTUH Mondays are kind of fun!! I wake up and DJ at 4:30-6am, then I go back and sub the 12-3 pm Rock Slot!! Talk about avoiding grad school, the only way I know how ;)
On a positive note, my talk on Somatoform Disorders went quite well.
On another positive note, Glenn and I went to the Scottish Highland Festival at Kapiolani Park yesterday! It was so much fun and I threw a frying pan thirty feet! It was actually the worst throw of the entire Highland Games competition. Some Hawiian ladies felt bad for me and told me I was the sexiest one up there, but that didn't really help my throwing self-esteem! After this we left to go see "Evangelion 1.0: You Are Not Alone." I LOVED IT. But then I'm a big EVA fan! The film basically just redid the first five episodes with pretty graphics, and apparently it made some girl throw up her Pop Roxxx outside the theater, but it nearly made me weep. Ah the old interactions of Shinji and Misato and Penn-Penn and Rei. I felt a bit cheated that Asuka, my favorite character, wasn't even in this one, but hopefully next time! Thus Glennichiwa and I ended our Scotland-Japan (Scot-tan) day, and I was so glad to have had a Sunday off work!!
