will my life in the not-so-distant future resemble this uncannily similarly named fictional doctor’s cute television world? (we already have the same ridiculous hipster glasses— slippery slope!)

Bon voyage, Maurice! →

you enriched our lives. i first listened to this Fresh Air interview with you when i was back in ramona this summer. i just sat in the hot parking lot with my car windows rolled down, stereo blasting NPR, eating ceviche from La Cocina and crying like a weirdo. it was a really good interview.

HEAR IT. MAKE IT. SWIG IT.

ever wonder what cocktail you should be sipping whilst enjoying the bittersweet notes of elliott smith? what about the salty croonings of tom waits? drinkify knows.

last night's dream

found myself mistakenly in the middle of an ex-boyfriend’s wedding ceremony. while trying to quietly escape, inadvertently get into confrontation with his new bride. wedding ruined. (thanks a lot, subconscious.)

medical mandarin is easy and so can you

surgery fellow: ask how mr. chang is feeling today-- is he passing gas?
me: how's it goin'? you farting yet?
surgery fellow: okay, good. now tell mr. chang that the ostomy that IR put in yesterday is draining pus, and it looks like the abscess is subsiding.
me: that straw that the doctors put in your side yesterday is working. that infected ball inside you is getting smaller.
surgery fellow: good, now tell mr. chang that we are going to work on optimizing his pain control today.
me: uhmmm... today... you're in pain, we give you medicine. you're in pain, we give you more medicine. back-forth, back-forth, like this, we are going to bother you. okay?

wear and tear 2012

i hereby pledge to not buy new clothes for a year. RATIONALE: 1) I don’t need any more clothes. My closet is stupid full. 2) More often than necessary, I feel more guilty than excited when I purchase new clothes. 3) I thought about buying used stuff, but that’s really just a crutch, isn’t it? 4) It will probably be harder to do than my normal new year’s resolution...
