    Coloring can be a calming, undemanding way to keep your mind off the dizzy. Besides being an immersive way of educating yourself about the body. I wish they had a entire coloring book devoted to the inner ear. Or a giant coloring poster of it.

    But then you could make your own. Since the typical doctor's office ear poster/diagram never quite cuts it. Being that it's such a complex system, you'd probably want to devote each poster to a given section. I love maps and diagrams.

    Tip: If you ever want to really understand and internalize a city's layout, (say Manhattan or San Francisco before visiting for the first time) make your own map of it. It concentrates the mind in a fun way. It doesn't have to be as detailed as a real map, of course. My next map will probably be of my childhood city, as I've forgotten so much about it.

    They sell those 2'x3' white poster boards at your local drugstore. Use the non-glossy side so your ink won't smear. And buy at least 10 because you WILL make mistakes. Use lots of colored markers to designate everything by color, e.g. roads, subways, points of interest, etc.

    Anyway, here's what I wanted to show you:

    I want these! I used to draw all the time and got pretty good at it for a while there. Then I got a car, a girl, discovered pot and went to college.

    On a related note, my aunt used to be a medical illustrator. She would actually draw and watercolor those anatomical images we saw in the biology books.
