A Heartfelt Plea

On November 25th, a movie will be coming out starring Robin Williams and John Travolta called "Old Dogs". Please, please DO NOT see this movie. I am not one to judge something before seeing it. In fact, it makes me angry when people boycott things on religious grounds based only on speculation. But I have seen the preview for this movie and I can already guarantee you this will be one of the worst movies ever made. The preview itself made me physically ill. And the worst part about it is this movie will be hugely successful. But as a fan of movies, I cannot be a part of it. And I'm begging you not to be a part of it either. There are plenty of high quality family movies out there, so there is no need to make your kids dumber and unable to appreciate quality entertainment. I will be in Arizona the day after the movie opens and if you plan to see this movie, I will pay for you (and your kids) to see something else. Let's take a stand for all that is right and decent in this world, cause if we don't, there's going to be an "Old Dogs 2" and I might have to hurt someone.

TV Quote of the Week

Despite my busy schedule (not really), I still manage to fit in at least 3 hours of TV every day (sometimes more). And since school and TV are pretty much the extent of my existence, I don't have much to post about. So here is my favorite TV quote from this week:

Not everyone’s gonna have the walnuts to take a pro-littering stance, but I will not rest until every inch of our fair state is covered in garbage. That’s why I pay taxes. And it keeps garbage men earning a living, so they can afford tacos for their family. – Sue (Glee)

Runner Up:
Hi there, Lily. Lily? Isn’t that going to be hard for her to say? – Phil, after meeting his new niece adopted from Vietnam (Modern Family)

By the way. I love 'Glee'. If you're not watching it, you should be. It's hilarious.

Anal Fissures and All Things Rectal

I like surgery. I like cutting people and then sewing them up. I like blood and guts. But if I never see an anus again, it'll be too soon. I'm 3 weeks into my general surgery rotation and I have seen (and touched) enough anal sphincters to last a life time. Hasn't anyone in the rural South heard of a Brazilian wax? And I haven't even mentioned the hemorrhoids and poop. I just can't handle it. I'm pretty sure general surgery is not for me.
