Postpourri

I feel that I should write something. But I don't have coherent thoughts at the moment, and I'm not clear on when they'll come back. So I'll just be random.

I did reasonably well on my physiology and histology exams (despite a few ridiculous questions on the latter.) Praise the Lord for that, because I had some pretty debilitating anxiety for a week and a half before the exam (enough time in which to get waaaaaay behind) but I prayed for motivation and a calm spirit, and was able to study pretty well for the three days before the exam, so I'm thankful for my grade(s).

I have a 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said daily calendar, and Sunday's quote amused me - by Roger Ebert, announcing the arrival of Mel Blanc and Jimmy Smits to the Academy Awards ceremony: "Oh, here comes Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny and Jimmy Smits!"

Heh.

I think I've forgotten how to talk to people.

I miss Scott.

Speaking of Scott, we've seen a few movies. We accidentally saw Eight Below (due to a time malfunction on my part) and it turned out to actually be good. I cried about four times - once when they left the dogs, every time a dog died, and then when Scott shushed me for talking too loud. :-) We also saw Failure to Launch, which made me feel better about being ridiculously attached to my family and home. Unfortunately, Sarah Jessica Parker was there and she looks like a horse. But Matthew McConaughey was also there, and he more than cancelled out her horseishness. Oh, another thing - while filming a movie about the 1970 plane crash that killed almost the entire Marshall University football team, Matthew McConaughey is rumored to be staying in a house that is about five blocks from my apartment. Eeeeeeee. But I won't be stalking him - I just don't have that kind of time.

Sometimes medical school feels like the hardest kindergarten ever. Except with people who brag about how drunk they got. And I still don't get that bragging. Remember? I've never been able to make sense of it.

Huh. As it turns out, I wrote a lot in April 2005. If you're bored, you can go read some of it. It's Pauler Abdul! It's centipedes! It's E. coli! It's making molasses in someone's bottom!

One last thing - I uploaded the episode of South Park that spoofed scientology, R. Kelly, John Travolta, and Tom Cruise - and that caused Tom Cruise to flip out more than he normally does. It's in downloads, or you can right-click and "save target as" here.

All right. I'm off to learn stuff.
