i hate the term, "no offense."

people use "no offense" to blunt the blow of a below the belt comment. for example (actual comments heard, may be exaggerated), "I just don't like those kids who get into medical school from college, in fact, i just hate them all, no offense." (it's called we thought ahead) or "sorry, your car just looked like something a $%@# would drive, no offense." etc etc OFFENSE TAKEN, jackass.

if you're going to be rude and impolite, just say it. better yet, keep your offensive mouth shut and don't say anything at all. you're a coward if you think "no offenses," "sorry but," "i'm not judging!" make you blameless. NO OFFENSE.

The other day, I felt shitty. Incredibly shitty. The worst shitty I have ever experienced.

I think it was the culmination of Step 2 CS, too little sleep, too much caffeine and popping Dramamine/Claritin-D/aspirin like candy. I knew it was unhealthy, but I tell you, I had no choice! I get motion sick and had to travel like crazy. My allergies don’t let me breathe like me a normal person and I had to make good impressions on my interviews/get enough O2 during CS. And since I was feeling crappy, I needed to take some pain killers so I could enjoy quality friend time.

So yesterday, it all culminated to feeling the worst I’ve ever felt in my life (excluding illness/rib resections/etc). Usually sleep cures all my ails, but this time, my ails wouldn’t even let me get the rest I needed.

I’m feeling better now, though. Eventually, fatigue prevailed and I got the rest that I needed. But I had to take Dramamine again. Oh and Claritin-D. But don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I ran out of aspirin. (I didn’t.)

OH MY GOD.

To the person who is still smoking on my floor.

I thought we already went over this. You had a stroke. Smoking is bad. PLEASE STOP.

holy fuck, 2 korean koreans told me i look like i'm still in high school. patients must think i'm a freaking junior high student!! or maybe clarisonic is just that awesome?

The Last Airbender, rated 07% on rotten tomatoes.

RT consensus: "Despite flashy special effects, The Last Airbender squanders the potential of its popular source material on an incomprehensible plot, laughable dialogue, and a joyless sense of detachment."

It's a tragedy that the live action film doesn't seem to have lived up to the cartoon. In fact, I hope this movie doesn't destroy any young actor/actress' careers. But I can't say I'm not happy. In fact, I'm almost deliriously happy.

Here's to hoping that the ratings remain steady and the box office doesn't pull off any miracles.

i think i really failed that OSCE. like, seriously failed.

maybe it was the last minute studying, the lack of sleep, the general "this is my last 3rd year clerkship ever (hopefully)" mentality. but for whatever reason, i really sucked at the OSCE.

i do not want to repeat Ob-Gyn.

yea, last i checked, Aang wasn't Christian.

today someone called me a bitch, then stupid bitch.

i admit, i was in a pretty pissy mood after work today. i wasn't smiling and was walking pretty briskly from the bus stop.

when i got into my apartment's lounge area, i almost ran into another tenant. it seemed like he was heading out so i decided to just side step him and go to the elevators without even looking at him. turns out he was getting into the elevators too.

i guess i was walking pretty fast because the elevator door started closing when he appeared in front of it. while i was feeling pissy, i wasn't feeling extremely bitchy. so i pressed the "open door" button. he still tried to catch the elevator door, but i'm pretty certain that the "open door" button would, you know, open the door.

we rode the elevator in silence. i still refused to look at him. he gets off a few floors before me and after he walked out, he muttered bitch. then, for my further edification, he muttered stupid bitch even louder.

hey, maybe he was just muttering along with his music since he had these massive headphones on. or, maybe he was being an ASS. i pressed "open door" for you, man. don't be an ass.

hey i've got an awesome idea for a movie.

first, i'll create an epic fantasy cartoon about the struggles and ultimate victory of oppressed peoples against their oppressors. just for the fun of it, i'll base the characters on real life ethnicities. then, i'll turn that smash hit of a cartoon into a movie.

but, wait for it, here's the twist: i'll cast historically powerful ethnicities as the oppressed and powerless ethnicities as the oppressors. I know, GENIUS, right? Plus, it was a FANTASY cartoon, i can do whatever i want. it's not like making another movie like Glory where slaves are depicted as whites and slave masters as blacks would be crazy or anything. i mean, it's called ARTISTIC LICENSE.

oh wait, sorry, they already made the movie. It's called The Last Airbender. Damn, and here i thought i was being all progressive.
