EKGs, Work out and a Movie.

So, last Thursday, I had an appointment for a blood survey. And long story short I should of asked for her phone number. Haha.

On a serious note, The survey was to test the effects of salt in the blood stream on healthy adults. I was there testing to see if I was adequate for the study, so, they took my blood pressure, did an EKG(A procedure that tests the electric current of your circulatory system.). It was probably me (with the help of strange innuendos), but I had slightly awkward moments with the coordinator.

The head doctor sat down and discussed the whole procedure and his intended goal from this experiment. It took away the whole guinea pig feel, which was pretty helpful, as well as interesting.

Now, jumping to Friday.

I went to a gym for the first time with my sister. It was pretty much what you'd expect: A bunch of people running on treadmills and lifting/pushing weights. Right now, I'm feeling the "burn". I usually feel the whole sore muscles 2 days after strenuous activity.

Then after, We watched the 10:30 showing of "Watchmen." Overall, It was a pretty good film. I never read the comic, so, I did not collect any bad tension from the differences. As with most(or all) of comic-to-movie or book-to-movie adaptations, there's always a group criticizing the translation.

Before, I become bias about it. I'd like to say, as in artwork, depending on the medium, you will develop vast ranges of outcomes. The preferences of each outcome is either enjoyed or criticized from person to person. So, standing alone, I would recommend watching it atleast once. It has a lot of subtle references to our government and society on a psychological level, which I did enjoy analyzing.

(Also, I loved the in movie soundtrack which many probably have pointed, 99 Luft balons, Simon and Garfunkel's Sound of Silence, and Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower.)
