January 10, 2007

As I sip my third JD of the evening whilst watching my second film, I contemplate my next blog entry. I was given three bottles of my favourite bourbon for Xmas and my birthday, along with a separate bottle of Famous Grouse, so I have a lot of relaxed drinking on the weekday evenings to come I suspect.
I just read my first comment, which although basic serves to remind me that I'm not talking to myself. I wouldn't mind that, but it does provide extra impetus to write, knowing that someone somewhere is listening. Again, feel free to comment, no matter how irrelevant it may seem.
I woke at about 8 today, on time and ready to go, but for the first time this term I suffered from my terrible affliction of just never quite being able to get that first foot out of bed. I bargained and pleaded with myself, until I convinced my poor self to stay in bed all morning. I didn't miss anything important, but if I take too many free days then it will definately show in the end. I eventually did turn up at the hospital for a clinical skills session on oxygen therapy. Attaching masks to faces, and the reason why etc. The man running the session had to step out for a minute to take a call. It turned out that it was his vet, telling him that his cat had to be put down. It put a slight downer on things, but when it turned out the cat was as old as me, then it didn't seen so harsh. It reminded me of an old sketch, where the vet picks a dog up, looks in it's mouth, and tells the owner he has to put it down. When asked why by the distraught owner, he says "because he's very heavy".
Spent too much on my shopping in Tescos, I suppose that's what I get for buying healthy for a change.
The film I just finished watching was called "Identity", about a man with multiple personality disorder, whose different personalities fight against each other in a thriller/whodunnit type mystery in a motel. Excellent idea, and well played by Cusack.
Apologies for the rather unexciting post, I suppose that's what life is about sometimes. I'll try and mix myself into some intriuging hospital politics so I have something to harp on about.
P.S. My birthday tomorrow, send money!

I read it too. It's interesting because I study quite a few areas of medicine(ish) too. Hope you have a good birthday!

well technically..

JD is not Bourbon, its a Sourmash Whiskey... Bourbon is like champagne. it has to be made in a specific place and that place is Kentucky.

JD is very similar to a Bourbon though but originating in Tenanessee its a different make up :P
