08:03 am - updating Whoo! Just got back from awesome cruise vacation! Just had to share the wonderful sunshine with everyone. I went scuba diving in a shipwreck in Aruba! In related news since I never communicate, life is excellent. I love my job. Private practice is amazing. My patients actually come to their appointments. And they ask such responsible questions! Everyone has been so nice. It's good to be here. Can't complain. Oh, and the hospital here is lovely. Each delivery room has it's own jacuzzi tub. And there a hallway coming in with a wall-long waterfall. I love to sit there and relax. Very peaceful. Current Location: work Current Mood: energetic Current Music: Scarlett's Walk

07:14 pm - ...ok, now where was I?... hah. buried in work. On the bright side I have 6 more months of forced labor before I end my 4-year indenture contract thingy. ie. I'm looking for a job! A real job! With, you know, responsibility and nifty stuff like that. oh, and I bought an xbox. This is not helping me find a job, but boy does it help me slay time like a superheroine! I do have an interview, though. And I'm up to...hmmm... 589 babies. Go me! forever unable to grow up, me Current Location: home Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: Tardis sound

12:55 pm - portishead Ok, portishead has suddenly become even cooler to me. I read the Book of Jude last night and it hit me that I'd heard part of it before. ah ha! "...wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever" the song takes on a whole new meaning. happy valentine's! I got the orcs chocolate battle axes from our local candy shop. The confectioner had never quite had customers like us before. My living room has never had such a food fight either. Poor carpet. At least cats are not allergic to choclate, because Lord Squeak and Mari sure seemed to enjoy the spoils of war. Current Location: work Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: Portishead: Dummy

10:36 pm - suck at the red Orc translation, for those who are following: Brg Glrg Boo. The orcs are roosting in the attic now, tucked away for their long winter naps. They're saving up all their energy for the rest of the UNC basketball season. Go heels. Meanwhile, I am on oncology working my exciting 13 hour days. The highlight of the week was the giant tumor (it's not a tumor banter commences) we took out today. It was very satisfying, especially since it wasn't cancer! The orcs promtly stole it to use for their basketball. That has got to violate at least 50 health and safety laws, not to mention patient confidentiality and just plain decency. Fine- you try taking it away from them! It's like I'm talking to 10 foot tall toddlers with their security blankies. Sigh. Heaven forbid they discover the stem cell reseach room... My attending's most frequent words: "Suck at the red." "Cut. Faster. Today, please." My fellow's most frequent words: "Take that suction from him and help me." "That was the best _____ (insert type of surgery) ever!" My most frequent word: "Sorry!" Current Location: work Current Mood: listless Current Music: peter gabriel: red rain

11:23 am - erg uhg That's orcish for "Sleep has been repeatedly inturrupted by work." Haven't posted in awhile. Update: 1.

Went for fitness testing. discovered 2 things: a)strength is poor, cannot lift anything, b) constitution is good. was able to do 60 pushups. now arms hate me. 4. very tired of work. have to give lecture today and am getting grief from attending who doesn't want me to leave to go do lecture. 5. was late for call on account of call schedule switching without me being aware. had to cancel nice date. 6. have almost beat gauntlet! beat baldur's gate on extreme level with only minor cheating assistance... 7. am not ready for christmas. 8. Walmart is a scary place. 9. miss everyone! Current Location: work Current Mood: groggy Current Music: 80's office mix

02:25 pm - WOW!!!! Ok, so our attending Kraemer says to us, "hey, we all ought to go white water rafting! it'll be fun!" Except since Kraemer mumbles, it sounded more like, "hwheogo whwa raftlle fun!" He recommends the river and the outfitter... and the wet suits, and off we go! Now, he neglected to mention a few things. Or if he did, it came out sounding like "Nopml ftsewho noftfor whisamet." First, the river he picked was the upper Gauley River in West Virginia, home to the 2001 World Rafting championships. He specified a particular time to raft, becuase the government had just release an insane amount of water from the dam, rasing the river level from 900 to 2800 CF. Second, said upper Gauley river is also home to a number of fatalities, called "D's" by our guides, such that they actaully had to rename a few of the rapids. ie. 'Guide's Revenge' after D-ing someone, was kindly renamed 'Fuzzy Box of Kittens.' Cute. In point of fact, the last body removal was the day before we came. Thirdly, very few of us had ever rafted before. His response at the time was "henoproblm. Itle fine." So, we show up, get the morning talk and start looking at each other sideways. The lead guide starts out by saying, "now, everyone here has rafted before, right?" shaking heads. "hmmn. Ok, well, some liken the Upper Gauley river to losing your virginity to a supermodel. good luck!" more glaring at Kraemer ensues. Our guide is kind enough to temper the "Swift and Brutal" recommendation by the camera man to "Swift, brutal and safe." She is also kind enough to help us out by stating the precentage chance of flipping on any given rapid or series of rapids, which way to swim if we fall out, and which rocks have large undercuts and should at all costs be avoided as they would suck us in and never let us out. She warned us ahead of time when we were approaching class V rapids, like the 14 ft waterfall! Don't get me wrong, it was awesome! We surfed a few of the hydraulics, which were neat, because the raft flips up on it's side, then flips around the other way. We did not chose to surf the Hungry Mother, as our guide quoted us a 75% flip chance. We only lost 2 people. Ahem, they fell out of the raft, not D'd! We didn't flip! By the last rapid, above mentioned Fuzzy Box of Kittens, our guide Leah asked us if we wanted to play it safe or enter at the angle of destruction to attempt to flip. We tried, but failed to flip. sigh. Now, looking back on the pictures and the video, I can't believe I actually did it! Every picture has me looking straight down into a whirling vortex of terror with a giant grin on my face. Looking at what happened to other rafts, I think we lucked out on having a good and safe guide! Go me!!!! I can't wait to go back. Anyone want to come?

09:29 am - doo be doo be doo I am such a geek. I went out the other day and finally decided to use my birthday gift cards to EB Games, extra special thanks to Krisdae and her family! I got the new Zelda, the original trilogy Star Wars Lego and... Baldur's Gate: dark Alliance. Now, Gryphonquill and I hacked our way through Dark Alliance 2 a few years back (wow, time flies...) and I wasn't sure if this would be the same game or not, but remembering how much fun it was to squash bugbears, I decided I really, really wanted to get it anyway. ooooh boy am I having fun! The only slightly disappointing thing so far is that I haven't been able to use my gems to make shiny magic weapons like I did with the other game. oh well. My AC is 54 right now... Suffering from lack of sleep... Current Location: work Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: 80's office mix

06:28 am - I'm such a Geek Your Score: Mystic Theurge 37% Combativeness, 36% Sneakiness, 82% Intellect, 69% Spirituality Brilliant and spiritual! You are a Mystic Theurge! Score! You have a prestige class. A prestige class can only be taken after you?ve fulfilled certain requirements. This may mean that you?re an exceptionally talented person, but it probably doesn't. The Mystic Theurge is a combination of a cleric and a mage. They can cast both arcane and divine spells, and are good at both, making them pretty terrifying on the battlefield. They have more raw spellpower than just about any other class. You're both intelligent and faithful, but not violent or deceitful. I guess that makes you a pretty good person.

04:17 pm - tick tick tick That's my biological clock. The downside of working in infertility is that I keep getting to listen in on the "Now, your fertility begins to decline around age 30..." several times a day. Yikes! The gray hair, the sore back, the declining store of eggs... sigh. I guess I can't blame it all on my job, but it sure doesn't help my social life to work 80 hrs a week. I think I'll blame it on the orcs. They have this fantastic BO which keeps all prospective men away from my house. yes! That's it. It's all the orcs fault! If they didn't shower in toxic ooze and put up "Keap Owt: Ork B Heer" signs everywhere, maybe people would want to come visit... I loved Harry Potter! It's been a few years since I read the book, so maybe I'm forgetting a bunch of stuff, but it did hit the high points and seemed to flow pretty well. I liked how they built up Sirius and Harry's relationship. Very nice. I think they did a good job considering how long the book was.
