Once again, great new music from my brother in law. And as much as I love Ratatat, they've been my user sound for a hundred years, so I guess it's time mix to it up a bit.
New song:
The Chills, by Peter, Bjorn and John.
"Swedish, and insidious", as Chase described them.
Best line- "Your tongue is sharp, but I miss the taste of it." (ch-ch-ch-ch-ch, ch-ch-ch-ch-ch)
That, and two of my other faves off the album, on Gather:
0887685001165969441
0923365001165969605
0659531001165969804
Enjoy!

anticlimactic [now w/ pix!]PMT- did you find my gloves? Little red leather ones. Not sure where I left them, but they weren't in my coat pockets.
Had fun last night, hope you all did too. Thanks! Happy birthday again Tony. Hope you enjoyed your party- somehow think you did.
And I think I'm finally learning... I wasn't even hungover this "morning" when I woke up.
Oh and tracee says "thanks I had fun" too.
Oh wow. happy (e:strip)peversary to me... start date 12/6. Missed it by a few. And actually, I really started with my short-lived alter ego (e:alex) on 12/4.
Too bad I don't have anything more profound to say...
Oh, well here are some pix. Thought I took more!
(e:imk2) and myself.
Yvonne trying to teach me how to make a sexy face for the camera. I don't think I quite got it. ;)
Tony, how many different ties did you wear last night?
me and Tracee (even through the blur, you can see, I'm back to my trademark picture-smile. It's like I can't help it.)
And, more in focus.

And I saw my dinner pseudo-inviter at the exam this morning... no apology, no acknowledgement, no nothing. Awesome.
Can't wait to relax and have fun with some booze and some tunes and some good peeps tonight.

I third it... Now I think it can be an offical motion. It will be nice to be able to drink and relax and see some peeps.

Coupla things...1: Happy Birthday Tony! (it was yesterday.) (sneaky bastard)
2: My apologies for the gross post- guess I'm too desensitized. Didn't mean to give anyone nightmares or make them puke or anything. (but in case you're curious, the guy from yesterday is doing great. All swollen and stuff, but I must say looks pretty damn good considering he doesn't have a jaw anymore.)
3: this police shooting this makes me absolutely furious. Violent crime makes my blood boil. I am so glad I am not working at ECMC right now. I dealt with a cop that was shot in the head (and died) in med school... what a mess. Major press, same kind of thing as this.
But the thing is, I was eating at Hardware that night, and randomly happened to sit next to one of the trauma PAs from ECMC that we work with, and while we were eating she got a page and read it and said 'huh. two GSW on their way. Glad I'm not on call tonight." Found out later it was this crime, only blocks away. Yuck.
3.5: ajay, glad you're with me on the dinner invite. I thought (think) maybe I was just being a whiny baby, but I thought that was pretty rude.

Yipes. I hope i didn't have anything to do with you feeling the need to apologize for posting something! I personally never want you to feel like you have to sensor yourself because of anything i didn't want to read. I am totally sqeemish (last night on suvivor, someone smucked their finger with a knife and i threw up a pillow in front of my eyes and asked (e:Uncutsaniflush) to tell me when the gross bits were over! lol)and i think it's totally cool you aren't. And that i am glad someone else can handle it 'cause i sure can't! That was the point i was trying to make.

My work is horrifyingDon't smoke people, ok? Please? Promise?
Long day at work, was in the OR for 13hr straight (no breaks). But it was cool. This guy first came in b/c he noticed his dentures didn't fit. Well, this problem must have been going on for quite some time, but he's old and a little crazy and didn't notice. Bottom line- he had a huge tumor in the floor of his mouth that had eaten through his jaw, and was actually exploding out of the skin. It was stinky and weepy and scabby. It was really gross. And sad. (and probably caused by smoking). So we had to cut his jaw off. His entire chin. From the corners of his mouth, down. Like a puppet. Just sawed it off, and put it in a bucket to send to pathology. We were going to take a bone from his leg to make a new jaw, but he was deemed "too sick" so we used metal plates instead (which don't work as well). Then we took his pec muscle to make him a new mouth/chin.
So it was a long case, but it was actually super cool. And I realized that I like fixing the hole (which is the domain of plastic surgeons) better than making the hole. Always nice to reaffirm that I actually like my chosen field. :)
But anyway- that part is gross and horrifying, sure. But they do it at roswell all the time. The part that actually got to me today was when we were getting started. Put the guy to sleep, shaved his beard (or tried to, it was all crusty and gross), put pads under his heels etc etc. Usually we tape people's eyes closed, so they don't get scratched or anything. But this time since we would be working on his head and need to move it around and stuff I guess he wanted to be extra careful. I heard him ask for a stitch, and I wasn't sure why so I went to look-
He freaking SEWED his eyelids shut.
I know he didn't feel it and we took the stitches out before he woke up etc, but that kind of freaked me out.
And my annoyance for the day- last week was invited to dinner at Nektar. I replied "yeah sure, if I'm off work in time. What time is dinner?" "dunno, I'll let you know." Well it was tonight. When I got home I texted the guy "so, what happened to dinner?" He replied "you snooze you lose." I wrote 'I was waiting for you to write me back with the time." He said 'oh... well you should come by, we're just finishing."
Thanks fucker. Invite me for dinner, then forget to tell me what time, and don't even notice I'm not there. I feel so loved...
Crap. I have a big text saturday morning and I am not ready for it. It's only a practice test, so it's hard to motivate to study, not to mention I've been working late. But I am dreading it.
If only there was a party or some way to get drunk afterwards... ;)
See you soon peeps. Stay cozy!

who is this that left you hanging on dinner, janpan guy or derick? both of them i told you i didnt like form the beginging. i guess if its derick then it's expected, but if this was japan guy, it's time to say suck my big fat clit and see your way to the door.

Which guy invited you to dinner? Not your latest crush, I hope.
I would blow my top if someone invited me and then forgot to let me know, and then replied with "we're just finishing". I'd walk up and shove a fork up his ass, pointy side upwards.

Even though ER is my favorite show, i just can't read the surgery bits about your work. Maybe it's the difference between real and fake i can't handle? Nahh... i close my eyes for the icky parts in ER too.
Thank you for being able to do this work, (e:Jenks) !
