I had never seen this. Completely and utterly painful to watch. But, as a former newsie...it seems that whomever was running the 'prompter had some serious issues as well. Dude, this was bad! You say that he went on a mornig show and said that he was going to continue to pursue broadcasting? This guy rocks. 👍

I totally agree! I really want to see him make it in the broadcasting world....that would just be awesome. I feel bad for him because he also took a lot of crap for this, and it was basically his first shot at it and it was a student-run broadcast for Ball State so it wasn't entirely serious.

Here is the link to the morning show interview. He says he got hate mail for this which is just wrong 😡

Clerks 2 and SOAP are on my short list of movies I'm going to see before school starts.

I just watched Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang on DVD this weekend. Two thumbs up, totally awesome movie. I never really liked Val Kilmer before but he was great. And Robert Downey, Jr. was superb. Funny as hell and twice as irreverent, I highly recommend it if you're in the mood for laughs and you don't mind a little bit of violence.

Clerks 2 was really good. The bachelor party. All I'm saying.

Hate mail is just stupid. People are such idiots! I do hope this guy makes it, but I would advise him to try directing instead.

That is the big diff between cats and dogs. Dogs seek your approval, cats could care less as long as they have their food bowl filled everyday and have a place to retreat from the heat.

My kitty is sitting on my lap snuggling right now. Ok he's a 20-lb kitty.

[PBandJ]

To kill part 3!

Not at this rate we won't!

 

[PBandJ]

let's do it!!

 

[pingouin]

*cues Chariots of Fire*

 

[pingouin]

I'm at the hospital. roughly 10 minutes until I get paged to do rounds. time for some intensive ing

 

[pingouin]

anyone still here?

 

[pingouin]

Durden?

 

[pingouin]

S&m?

 

[pingouin]

megboo?

 

[Dr Durden]

I heard the music calling my name.

 

[Dr Durden]

I'm back!

 

[pingouin]

My kitty is sitting on my lap snuggling right now. Ok he's a 20-lb kitty.

speaking of 20lb kitties, 2 of my friends have Maine Coons. I'm not a cat person, but those seem pretty cool.

 

[pingouin]

for cats, that is

 

[pingouin]

I'm back!

wahoooooooooo

 

[pingouin]

this 20-second posting rule is severely impeding my progress of becoming a post-*****

 

[pingouin]

I mean, if I've only got a limited amount of time, I want to be able to use it efficiently, right?

 

[Dr Durden]

Is it a new rule? I hit that brick wall for the first time myself last night.

 

[pingouin]

never mind that I could actually use it to WORK, rather than post....

 

[Dr Durden]

Where's the fun in that?

 

[pingouin]

Is it a new rule? I hit that brick wall for the first time myself last night.

I don't think it's new

 

[pingouin]

I think it's that you and I are such n00bs to the post-whoring thing that we haven't seen it much yet

 

[Dr Durden]

Have fun on rounds. I'm through with mine today, hence the extended post-whoring.

 

[pingouin]

Where's the fun in that?

my point exactly

 

[pingouin]

I just get to tag along and watch the doctors do their thing. And there's only 2 kids on my service. It won't take long.

 

[Dr Durden]

You're probably right. We've just gotten so good of late that we finally encountered it.

 

[pingouin]

ooh fun- fire alarm test. that'll freak the kiddies out.

 

[Dr Durden]

Ah, mine's adult IM. There's usually about a dozen patients and those attendings can talk forevvvvveer.

exactly

also, we need to bring this thread back to non-MCAT stuff, b/c all this MCAT talk is giving me a headache.

Code Red! 😱

adolescent medicine for me. aka, "eating disorders"

I got drafted. This was not my choice.

 

[pingouin]

Code Red! 😱

Code Brown! 😱

Amen. I give the 5K+ers a break though since I remember the stress. Though it's only going to get less "peripherally related" in here these next few weeks.

 

[pingouin]

although I will say about the adol. med. thing- this better be one damned fine LOR by the time I apply.

 

[Dr Durden]

Code Brown! 😱

One less bowel disimpaction for the third year med students to do today!

 

[pingouin]

it's been cracking me up- I've watched a couple of the new residents try to do psychosocials. god bless'em, they'll learn. this is probably the only time in my life when I can actually teach THEM what to do!

 

[Dr Durden]

Too late for me and my committee letter of evaluation. This was just more to make sure I'd rather be doing this than being a lab rat for the rest of my life. Surprise, I'd rather be on the wards.

We had a rattlesnake bite today. Beat the hell out of the usual diabetic foot ulcers and congestive heart failure complications.

 

[pingouin]

my school doesn't have a committee, therefore I'm on my own. this MD doesn't know she's writing me a LOR yet. but she will.

 

[PBandJ]

S&m?

i'm here!

ooh fun! mixing it up a bit..

mine's just kids who won't eat for various reasons. It's definitely going to be educational for me.

 

[pingouin]

i'm here!

HOLA!
