Since this seems like a day of announcements, I wish to announce that I now have my Minnesotan driver's licence! Woohoo!

What this means is that I can now rent from Blockbuster without a passport.

Woohoo!! :clap:

I almost failed my Iowa driver's license test. I would have if I had missed one more question.

They were all like, "If you are driving 45 mph, and are going to turn left, how many yards before the intersection should you turn on your turn signal?: 😕

Half a block 😉

At least the Minnesotan test questions were sensible that way. In Calgary it was similar - just replace mph with kph and yards with metres. Eeek.

Anybody else watching the new show Threshold tonight?

I am really excited about it!
No, but I did finally see the ultra-cool brand-new Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire trailer released on Thursday!

Daniel Radcliffe 😍

I have like 7 coupons for free rentals good through the 26th of this month. I should rent some stuff but I dunno what I want to see. My roomate already has a bunch of things I haven't seen. I should just bring my coupons to work and give them away.

Congratulations on the license. Is the photo standardly unflattering?

I have a plan for my next license photo...I'm getting my hair and makeup professionally done and then taking the shot. I will also freeze my face into my preferred expression and not move it until they hand me my new license. If that doesn't work, THEN I give up. 😀

I cannot help it if your brain moves slower than mine at 11pm CST.
I blame it on the alcohol. Hold on...I don't think I was drunk that night. Oh well, maybe all the drinking is catching up with me. Initially, the alcohol was killing my stupid neurons and I was one smart motherf*cker. Now the alcohol is killing the good neurons too.

Post this in the Neurology forum, maybe they can be of assistance.

It is too late my son. I must continue drinking to stave off the shakes and, god forbid, the DTs.
 
I have moved up in the world. I watched UM-EMU from the pressbox, right next to the TV cameras.

See, by posting and participating on SDN path you get all kinds of connections and you get invited to places like the press box. 😉

BTW, game from pressbox >>> Game from stands!

Call her mom and get her grounded.
 
I just saw a leaf fall from the tree to the ground. It was so pretty. I may write a poem about it.

A haiku, if I may be so bold as to suggest.

I think I might do some laundry today.

Don't you have women around for such trivial tasks?
 
I was thinking about having a beer and watching football, but since I am on call I figured I better not. So instead I took a nap.

Anyone else not watching the Emmys? I frankly can't think of anything I would rather watch less. Well, except the Grammys and American Idol. Unless 24 wins every emmy, the awards are crap.

I'm not watching the Emmys either. I never watch award shows - they are boring.

Though I hope Lost wins every Emmy.

this thread gets more interesting every day 👍

Yeah, Andy and I thought it would be interesting to post everything we were thinking. Just in case others want to know.

It's dark here now and I just started my dishwasher. Coincidence? I think NOT.

It speaks volumes about you that you even KNEW that the Emmys are on. :meanie:
 
This weekend was absolutely awesome. 👍

I really do not want to go back to work tomorrow. Starting psych. 🙁

I rode the bus today.
 
bananaface said:
No. That is the most notable thing people seem to say about their psych rotations.

If anybody throws poo at me, I will throw it right back at them. After putting on gloves, of course. :meanie:

You broke the rule in your Emmy's post. Your post needs to be a one liner with 12 words or less and needs to be completely meaningless.

you have to post hold yourself for 2 weeks. you have been warned.

So have you decided to do path yet or what? I encourage you to keep an open mind when you get to 3rd year and do your clinical electives, so that you can recognize how much bull**** there is in surgery and medicine.
