A silly little blog for me to drop the excrement of my mind.

-Writing so Dis Con Nec Ted. . .

A great song, by the way.  Understated, incredibly thunderous bass, and almost uncomfortably restrained vocals, it is one of my Rychian favorites.

-Back from Houston.  What an incredible experience.  It was life altering.  Okay, so I am full of crap.  It was awful.  Not in a really bad sort of awful way, just in a "I spent $1000, plus $500 in airfare, $160 in hotel and $35 for a car just so I could take this idiotic test?" sort of awful.  Let the good times roll.

-On call tonight.  Got here to the ICU at 5:30 this morning, hoping to leave by 8:30 tomorrow morning, with no plans for sleep.  Now that is what we call quality patient care.  The drive home is always adventerous as well.

-Got a new review up over at Blogcritics.org (I am now a writer over there, mostly music reviews).  What makes this one fun is it is the first review I have written for a CD the band's publicity company sent me.  Sort of fun to get free music.  I will be posting it over here when I get the chance (in other words, when I am at home and can actually upload cover art, etc.).  If you want to read it while it is hot, rock on.
 
-Graduation approaches.  That is a bit of a surreal thought.  When I graduated from my undergraduate institution I didn't think it was a big deal.  I knew I had another, much more significant hurdle before me.  Now that I am there, at the cusp of that hurdle, well, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal either.  My wife assures me it is.  I think I am a bit blinded by my proximity to the occassion.  But I have to admit, I do like the thought of actually being a doctor.  In training, of course.  But I will still have that MD.
 
-Along those lines, I have had numerous people lately call me Dr. Jones.  I want to correct them, it just sounds so wrong, so dirty of me.  Then I remember.  The only thing between me and that title is one month (from tomorrow).  I would have to actively bust my hump to not actually graduate.  And so I leave it alone.  And secretly, I really like the sound of Dr. Jones.
 
-I have wanted to blog numerous times in the past week, but the slate has come up blank.  Hence the ramble.
 
-It is high time to take out the contacts.  They have been in since before 5:00 am, so my eyes are getting a bit tired.
 
-It is also high time to end this entry.  I have been composing it for about 5 hours now, in little spurts, sometimes not even a whole sentance at a time.

yeah, I got it. Great tune, by the way. I put that disc in for the first time in months the other day in my car - and the car has pretty thumptastic bass - and I wanted to cry when the bass started on Dis Con Nec Ted. Wow. Sorry life's been nuts. At least you're still alive - things could be worse, you know . . .

Keep it up, my friend. It'll all be over in a month!!!!!!!

Congratulations Doc!  Sorry Houston was such a waste, but the interesting times are to start soon.

No worries Trina.  I will respond soon.

Duh.  It is part of my intrinsic coolness!

Dr. Guy: Yes, I am sure they will. . .

Good to hear you got back in one piece.

I saw 'The Song Remains The Same' over the Easter break, for what must be the first time in a long time. I've had Zep songs in the back of my mind since. Thanks for putting another one there. I agree with you, it is a thumping good song.

I'm looking forward to my review on Blogcritic. Let me know when you put it up.

Cheers,
