Je veux un chaton.

So I haven't posted in a while....

I've been in Millbrook...which has been really nice. But I've kind of been having the Zach Braff 'my house is not a home' feeling lately. Like, I've always lived here, and I'm more comfortable in my house than I am most other places, but I just itch to be somewhere else a lot of the time. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents and I feel like I get along with them better than a lot of people I know do with theirs, but I just am not sure if I belong here anymore. I don't like the fact that I'm most likely gonna be in Alabama for at least another 6 years. (2 more at UA/4 at UAB) I've been looking to find a med school possibly outside of the south that I would feel comfortable at. But since UAB is 29th in the nation, and I already love it and the people there, I'm going to have to find a pretty kick ass place to be good enough to move for.

Anyways, speaking of Zach Braff, I think the fact that ABC has renewed Scrubs for a 9th season is really Everybody Loves Raymond. (PS. I despise everybody loves Raymond, which means you should click the link because its not ELR) I've been working on not calling things gay lately...because even though my gay friends say it, I could see someone else finding it pretty offensive and Florida Gators. Yep, did it again.

But yeah, so ABC has renewed for a 9th season and Zach Braff/Sarah Chalke (who were both supposed to be quitting) are signed on for the first 6 or so episodes to 'tie up loose ends.'¹ The reason this really bothers me is that season 7 was supposed to be the last season. Then NBC did a BS series finale because of the stupid writers strike. So ABC bought Scrubs, since it was already being filmed in their studios anyways, and picked up the 8th season, which saved the shows integrity and did a nice job of bringing Scrubs somewhat back to its roots (Seasons 1-4'esque). The finale was absolutely wonderful and did a great job of wrapping, if being a little too JD focused. I feel like everything Scrubs has tried to say has been said. And since it will be returning with an incomplete cast, it's ruining the integrity of the show. Why couldn't they just do a spin-off? Anyways, it's probably ridiculous to y'all that I'm ranting about a moderately-rated TV sitcom, but this show has a lot of importance to me for a million reasons that it would take to long to mention. I'm going to stop ranting though.

In other news, summer classes start next week. Calculus and Am. Hist. to 1850. Woo! Go Bucs! (Can't you tell I'm super stoked?)

Additionally, I went to my doctor today because I thought I was having an allergic reaction to the Wildflower Wind paint that I had used to paint a bedroom in our house with. I have shingles. I know y'all might think it gross and weird that I'm giving you a bit of my medical history, but you can suck it, because it's not like I did something stupid to get it. It happens. Plus I get fun pain pills!



The pills are to help avoid nerve damage that can recur for the rest of your life. Hopefully (dear Jesus) that won't happen.


Anyways...I need to paint some trim.

I'm back in Tuscaloosa this weekend, and although it will probably be boring too, I kinda can't wait.

Nouvel et Amélioré

Can something really be new and improved??

That doesn't make any sense to me, because the whole point of being new is originality...if its already been done before than its not new. But improved suggests its something old that has just been changed around to be better. The only way it can really make sense is if you're talking about something like a physical recipe for something [bike tires, lemonade, whatev.] Cause then the recipe is physically new, but an improved version of the old one.

Anyways...just thought I'd share.

I'm not a mad man. I was just kidding.

"In the ancient recipe, the three antidotes for dullness or boredom are sleep, drink, and travel. It is rather feeble. From sleep you wake up, from drink you become sober, and from travel you come home again. And then where are you? No, the two sovereign remedies for dullness are love or a crusade." - D. H. Lawrence

Le Livre d'Amour

So I just watched the last three episodes of Scrubs. Ever. (At least in mine and Bill Lawrence's mind¹.)

It was amazing.

The the two before the finale (ep. 17 and part 1 of ep. 18) we're only vaguely better than normal episodes, but Part 2 of the season finale was beautiful.

For some reason Scrubs really resonates with me, even though I never liked it until I moved to Scotland. I'm so glad it's over though, and that they finished strong. I'm one of those really crazy fans that hates it when they destroy the integrity of a show. It needed to end, and now it's over.

So is the semester, almost!

This semester has been a bit rough, and I kind of wish that I had done better and done more, but that's that I guess. I've met some wonderful people that I really hope stay in my life though, at least for a while, and that's at least as important as a good grade. Summer will be weird though. Thankfully I have quite a few people that are sticking around for it.

I've got to come up with more interesting things to write. My first post kicked ass, and they've been deteriorating ever since. I think I might just call it a day...but I have a surprise for you:

You can watch the finale of Scrubs on ABC.com! Just click here!

Now aren't you glad you stuck around for that?

Dimanche

So I'm trying this whole text-post thing to see how well it works.

Sitting on the couch waiting on clothes to wash and I'm bored out of my mind, and I've had such a boring weekend...people I was supposed to hang out with never responded to texts and the people I wanted to talk to didn't either, so I've felt kinda bummed.

Did you know the some of the first commercial space flights are scheduled to start mid-2010? For a measly $90,000 to $200,000 you can spend 4-6 minutes in complete weightlessness, up to 68 miles in the atmosphere. Virgin has one and there's another company(which I can't remember) that actually is cheaper ($92,000?) and in flight it's just you and the pilot...so you get a very 1 on 1 experience. Woot.

Not sure how much more I can text at once, so let's see what happens!

Le Jour Deux

So...day two.

Not as much to write today...I'm sleepy and need to shave.

I just ordered pizza though, which is exciting, and means something to those who truly know me.

I feel pressure to write something more meaningful today, since my rant on swine flu was much more motivated.

It's going to be a boring weekend. Courtney, Candace, and Jon are all out of town, and they're probably 90% of the people that I hang out with on the weekend. But I'm going to job hunt (and hopefully update my real website) so it'll be okay.

--Intermission--

I just watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall...and it was 'effin awesome. The perfect mix of satire and seriousness; and who doesn't love Mila Kunis. Seriously?

Hmmm...I guess that's it. I'll try to find something more interesting to write tomorrow.
