more youtube nonsense

Ok, to continue the youtube trend-
this one isn't synced so well, but it amuses me nonetheless. The original song is this bad disco thing... Prodigy is much funnier.
Watch long enough for the 'indian maidens' to come out. They're the best part. Well aside from mustache-man.

Nice web, Mr. Crack Spider

Duh, I totally forgot- the whole reason I signed on to estrip oh-so-many hours ago was to post this, but I got sidetracked.

Don't know how to post it inline, but go to the link. It's funny. I promise.

Holy shit! My virgin ears!

Just got around to opening this cartoon that a friend forwarded around for MLK day...
Who ever knew Charlie Brown had such a dirty mouth.

(not at all safe for work)

random recap

So, I braved the mall today. Got my hair cut. Feel like I just got it cut last week, but am trying to keep up with the 6-wk thing. They have some new curly shampoo, and the guy said it's great. I asked if it's expensive, and he said no. My ass! I think $20 for a small bottle of shampoo is expensive.

And I went to New World to pick up my special order. First physical CD I've bought in ages. I got the "Verve//Remixed" box set. Cool stuff. It's like old jazz stuff (Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Astrud Gilberto) remixed by house DJs (Tricky, Felix da Housecat, Danger Mouse, Postal Service (!)). So far so good. A lot of it's pretty slow, almost trip-hop/ slow groove type of stuff. Stuff you might hear in a swanky lounge. Strikes me as excellent slow dance and/or make-out music. Too bad I have no one to slow dance and/or make out with.
But my user song is now Astrud Gilberto's "Who needs Forever" remixed by the Thievery Corporation. Give it a listen.

And, I got my new ipod. Yay. Gotta get that puppy loaded up. :) Now I have no excuse not to exercise. :/

On that note- around christmas time I realized my jeans were getting tight. So I decided to do something about it. And I am happy to say, I've lost 6lb since New Year's. And I say that not to brag, but to say that if I can do it- anyone can. To those of you that are wondering how to go about it- I heartily recommend weight watchers. I lost 25lb with them last year. Then I stopped paying attention, and some of it creeped back up. So 1/1 I started working on it again. And it works. It's not magic. I think the biggest thing about it is that it just makes you pay attention to what you eat, and be accountable for it. That in itself is huge. Anyway. Don't mean to be preachy. But that's my advice.

Now to get some music into my shiny new ipod. :)

my dad is too cute

So I got a cute little care package from my mom today... and she told me the other day she was sending it, and said "oh yeah, and dad says wait til you see what he put in it."

So I opened it-
and here's what Dad sent me: (sorry, picture is fuzzy)-

image

Yes, that's right, it's Snakes on a Plane.
I don't really care about the movie. I just like the little picture he drew that looks like it was done by a 5 year old.

I don't know why I think that's so cute it's worth posting. Probably because I am the definition of Daddy's Little Girl.

I am super-tired. Work was insane last night. BGH got all worked up in a tizzy because they heard there was a 'gunshot wound to the chest' coming in- turns out it was a SHOCK to the chest (like for cardiac arrhythmias), not a SHOT. Thank god. I did not feel like dealing with a GSW last night.

We also took 25lb of fat off one one lady's belly. She'd lost 100lb, and had extra skin/fat hanging down to her knees- so bad she couldn't walk. So we fixed that. It was very bloody.

I am on vacation now. I should be excited, but I'm not really, since I can't afford to spend my time doing anything but studying. And I know I won't study enough.

The guy in Iraq is supposedly leaving Iraq I think tomorrow, but he hasn't been online at all since I talked to him last saturday. Bummer. I hope everything is ok.

I think I got booty-called last night. At least, what else could a voicemail from 1am saying "i'm on my way to the bar between our houses, wondering what you're up to" mean? I don't think that's ever happened to me before. Too bad I was at work. Or maybe, thank god I was at work.

Have not heard any good news on the interview front yet.
3 rejections. 49 places yet to respond. I'm starting to get nervous. :(

I am cold and tired and a little sick. I feel like I "have to" go out tonight, since it's saturday night, but I kind of feel like just cuddling up on the couch with season 2 of grey's anatomy, popcorn, and a cozy blanket. Fortunately Brad The Landlord fixed my broken outlet today. It required sawing through the floor of the attic and all sorts of craziness.

I think I will go iPod shopping tomorrow. That's sure to make me feel better, right??

Ok, enough random shit for now.
Have a good weekend peeps!

A

p.s. Tony! Wii Party!!

I've had kisses that make Judas...

...seem sincere.

First, an announcement:

Whoever stole my red gloves from PMT's at Tony's bday party:
YOU SUCK.
If you need gloves, I have plenty of other pairs I can give you. Hell I'll buy you new gloves. But I really wanted to wear those ones today.
Please give them back.

New user song today. Citrus, by the Hold Steady. They have some amazing lyrics. (maybe not these ones in particular.)


Hey citrus, hey liquor
I love it when you touch each other
Hey whiskey, hey ginger
I come to you with rigid fingers
I see Judas in the hard eyes
of the boys who worked in the corners
I feel Jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers

Hey bar roommate tavern
I find hope in all the souls you gather
Hey citrus, hey liquor
I love it when we come together
I feel Jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers
I feel Judas in the long odds of the rackets on the corners
I feel jesus in the tenderness of honest, nervous lovers
I feel Judas in the pistols and the pagers that come with all the powders

Lost in fog and love and faithless fear
I've had kisses that make Judas seem sincere
Lost in fog and love and faithless fear
I've had kisses that make Judas seem sincere



Ok, back to work. Time to snip some lips.
(I wish there was a barfing smiley).
Just kidding, gyne is doing that case, not surgery.

Gross

Ok, so some of you have heard me talk about this. And lest you thought I was lying...

I was checking the OR schedule online, so I have an idea of what I might be doing at work tomorrow, and look what I found-

REDUCTION LABIA - Location: BILATERAL

On a 21yo.

Lovely.

I've only heard about that. Never seen it done, never even been aware of it being done in any hospital I've been at. So here we go.

live from macword...

So Steve Jobs is giving his speech right now, and the blogs are going nuts. But good thing I have 30d to decide on the treo, b/c I might NEED the iPhone:

The iPhone

"This is a day I've been looking forward to for two and a half years," said Jobs. "Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything."

In 1984, said Jobs, Apple introduced the Macintosh, and changed the computer industry. In 2001, Apple introduced the iPod, and changed the entire music industry.

"Well, today, we're introducing three revolutionary products of this class," said Jobs. "The first one is a widescreen iPod with touch controls. The second is a revolutionary mobile phone. The third is a breakthrough Internet communications device."

"These are not three separate devices," said Jobs. "This is one device. And we are calling it iPhone. Today Apple is going to reinvent the phone."

Jobs explained that smartphones provide phone and e-mail and what he called "the baby Internet. They're not so smart and not so easy to use."

"We don't want to do these," he said. "We want to do a leapfrog product that's way smarter than these phones and much easier to use. So we're going to reinvent the phone."

The iPhone does not use a keyboard, nor does it use a stylus, as many smartphones do today. The device uses new technology called "Multitouch."

"We're going to use the best pointing device in our world," said Jobs. "We're born with 10 of them, our fingers."

Multitouch is far more accurate than any touch display, according to Jobs. It ignores unintended touches, supports multi-fingers gesture. "And boy, have we patented it," he added.

The iPhone runs Mac OS X, said Jobs. "We start with a solid foundation," he explained.

"Why would we run such a sophisticated operating system on a mobile device? It's got everything we need," he said. "It's got multitasking, networking, power management, awesome security and the right apps. It's got all the stuff we want. And it's built right in to iPhone. And has let us create desktop-class applications and networking.

iPhone also synchronizes through iTunes. It syncs media, contact information, calendars, photos, notes, bookmarks, e-mail accounts. "All that stuff can be moved over the iPhone completely automatically," said Jobs.

The iPhone features a 3.5-inch, 160 dot-per-inch color screen. There's a small "Home" button it. It's also remarkably thin -- 11.6 millimeters, thinner than any smartphone out there, according to Jobs.

On one side, the iPhone sports a ring/silent switch, volume up and down controls. On its silver back side is a 2 megapixel digital camera. The bottom features a speaker, microphone and iPod dock connector



And that's all they've said so far. Will have to check back later...

updated again: here's the official info from apple:
looks slick.
BUT- not available til June.
Cingular only (GPRS/EDGE- though Apple claims they will make 3G phones in the future)
$499/$599 (and that's WITH a 2yr contract) [!!!]
And it's only 4/8GB, so it can't totally replace my 80gb stolen ipod.

Nonetheless, the apple geek in me is drooling.
