Sweat & (Outside of) the City

The ultimate car driver has RETURNED from the big city to a delightful land where she can tool around in Flanders, the 2004 Civic. That's right, I'm on Long Island.

I'm a Little Late to "The West Wing" Game

i have Ellen Andrews to thank for this
she has done what others have valiantly tried
i actually watched some episodes of "The West Wing" last week
and darn if i didn't love it!
i know have the first season DVDs thanks to the emma clark public library
i attribute a bit of my interest in this show to the presidential election
i'm hungry for politics
(despite the fact i'm not registered to vote in NY)
[(i am ashamed to admit--so much for my super tuesday vote]]

anyway, i like this show
and considering the writers are still on strike
it's nice to watch something that isn't a rerun

Twice in (About) One Week--A New Blogging Record

first off
when i logged on today and saw 7 comments
i was shocked
i'd like to share one little thought
"be more like prude"
she's anonymous according to blogger, but signs her missive
so if you wander over here, sign your name!
(perhaps my demanding nature will scare off my many readers!)

so here's a health update
no news yet except that johns hopkins charges 69 cents a page for your medical records
i have so many records that i have to tell them to send me an estimate before they make the copies
sorry trees!
this is a task that won't be accomplished until once the tax refund comes in
come on new school, where's my w-2???

how shocked was everyone to hear about heath ledger?
it's so sad when someone that young and talented dies
but it's even sadder when he leaves behind a little daughter

i had my two new RAs move in today
and darn if they aren't adorable!
this semester just has to be better than fall
i have a good feeling about the spring

and finally, i saw "cloverfield" this weekend
AND I LOVED IT
a great roller coaster ride of a movie
can't wait to see it again!

Umm, ow, OW, OW OW OW!!

i'm very glad i didn't read this
(and especially look at the pictures!)
before my doctor's appointment this morning

so yeah, it's been a couple of months
and some people may freak out considering i just
posted directions on bone marrow exams
but no no, i'm not sick
since we've last met, it's been determined
i don't have pyruvate kinase deficiency
hence the needles in my ass bone
(hmm, those words should lead some unsuspecting porn seekers to my blog!)
so, i've got mystery anemia
in 3 weeks, i may have some more answers

and january is the most wonderful time of the academic year
winter break!!!

i wonder if anybody is gonna read this...
if you wander over here
for the love of god
leave a comment
come on, i had a scary doctor's appointment today!!!
ok, that should guilt you into it...
