Nick- no fantasy football invite for me? What- I don't count? I'll have you know that I'm already on a fantasy football team, and I named it Harry and the Potters. So there. But seriously, I'll only do it if it's an automatic draft; I don't want to put any real effort or time into fantasy football.
Also, Michelle Forbes. Awesome actress. Super bitch on BSG. St. Louis doesn't know what it's missing, and you sir are awesome.
And finally, this: http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/08/24/super-mario-makes-for-super-popular-pop-fodder/#more-25413. I only watched the first one, but I thought it was kind of hilarious.

Play Fantasy Football...and other thoughts.
So...I tried to send you all fantasy football invites. I assume that they got there, but if they didn't I can send them again.
You should play.
It will be fun.
The draft is next Sunday...so I'm just telling people to register, because otherwise I have to invent personalities to fill up the 12 slots, and nobody wants that--you all are more fun.
That is all. I miss everyone too. Due to my overachieverness I'm pretty much working 12 hour days 6 days a week from now until November. And I've been doing that since May. My summer, I kid you not, consisted of the 4 days I was in Boston and the weekend between me ending work and starting to mentor the nuggets.
Although I think the total beer count within that 6 day period is probably up around the century mark.
Also, Rissa, through the wonder that is Blockbuster 1.99 DVD rentals and nobody in St. Louis liking Sci-fi, I've been roaring through BSG. I just watched Bitchy McBitcherson of the Pegasus get hers...and I'm seriously dorking out. It's awesome.
So that wasn't all...but this is.
You should play.

Word
Yah, welcome to med school life. Hopefully you find a group that you click with, Rissa, but just know that you're not allowed any real friends outside of us. I mean, seriously, who else is going to strip down to their boxers and repeatedly tell you you're not allowed to hook up with us? That's what true friends do.

Let me tell you a story called...
... things medical school has taught me (and yes, there will be an actual story/rant following the conclusion of this sentence, though by "things," I really just mean "thing").
I hate making new friends. I don't suppose I would have ever called myself an unfriendly person, but this past week and the orientation before it has made it glaringly obvious that I don't really like being forced to meet new people. I like the friends I have; I'm comfortable with them, and I don't care to go through the process of making all new ones every time I go to another freakin' school. During orientation, I went to bars on Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Friday night, and Saturday night. The highlight of these outings was leaving. I don't particularly care for bars in the first place (though they are way better than clubs); I don't like beer, and I don't like continually making the same small talk with people I don't know. I understand these things are necessary, which is why I forced myself to do them, but it does not mean that I have to like them. I realized I was pathetic when I found myself looking forward to class a little bit just so I could quit going out on weekdays.
The worse part of all of this is that I only marginally like a few of the people I am hanging out with now, so I'm going to have to get in with someone else if I want to get out of my current group (total hassle). I really like my roommate so far, which is nice since I obviously spend the most time with her, and I like the people in my lab group, etc. The real is problem is these two guys that are always around, one of which I don't really care for, and the other of which I actively, seriously dislike, maybe enough to stop hanging out with all of them just so I don't have to stand in his presence a moment longer. The first guy- whatever- he's just kind of obnoxious, and he takes his cues from guy number two. But guy number two, Charlie, has got to be the biggest douchebag I have ever met. He always says people's names in a loud, high pitched voice when he sees them across the room, he throws food at squirrels while we're eating lunch (what are we- five?), he's always wasted, he thinks he's just about the best thing to ever walk this earth, and he's obnoxiously ingratiating. I can't even describe how much it hurts my soul to be near him. I kind of imagine it's like hanging out with Barney (from HIMYM) except he's not legendary/awesome, and I hate him.
Anyway, sorry about that. I had to tell someone, and I don't know my roommate well enough to be like- I hate this guy. I can't really tell what she thinks about him. Other than that, things are going pretty good. It's only the first week of classes so things haven't gotten too bad yet, though I can tell that'll be coming soon enough. Anatomy's fun: who doesn't like to dissect dead bodies? Answer: this girl in my lab room who threw up twice the first day in.
So to recap: the moral of this story is that I too miss you guys, and not just because you are made of win, but also because I am lazy and made of a little something called no fun.

District 9
It's awesome. Probably the best movie I've seen this year. Go see it so we can talk about it.
On an unrelated note, and to echo Joseph a bit: I miss you guys already. It was great having you all up here, even though it was only a few days. You all are always welcome in my place. I don't say it enough but I love you guys. You are my best friends and life without you guys is way less fun than life with you guys. I hope we can all get together again soon.

Kangs
I just finished Kings. It was very good but damn is that one cold, manipulative, back stabbing, self serving, aliegence switching family. I am not surprised it was canceled though. It has two problems: one is that it is intelligent (there are less smart people in the world and fewer of them watch TV) and two is that after awhile its hard to like anyone in the family and although you can like David he is hopelessly and innocently dedicated to them and doing right which makes it harder to want to see him win for such crappy people. Also it was poorly marketed. I saw an advertisement for it and thought it looked stupid. They didn't sell it correctly. I thought they were going for some comic book like nonsense with kingdoms in the modern age etc.
BTW have you guys been seeing an advertisement on hulu with the numbers 230 8-11 (or maybe 2311 811) with the 0 being an electrical socket? What is that about. There is a website 2311.org but all it has is the web-address written. I guess 8-11 could be a date (aug 11) for it going active. Can't find anything about anybody else trying to figure out what the deal is though.
I miss you guys. You guys are my best friends, through thick and thin... I love you guys
p.s. I had another hole in lung incident. small again. yay!

The Sound of Music
Jessie and I watched the first half of The Sound of Music (yeah...It's really f-ing long) last night, and Captain Von Trapp Definitely starts a number of comments with "Ho Ho Ho".
My immediate thought: Hmm...how did Dr. Ivens get back to pre-war Austria? And where is his combination brandy snifter/pipe?
Had a great time. Will be in detox mode for a while, though.

Dice Game
From Wikipedia about the history of Yatzee:
"The overall concept of Yahtzee traces its roots to a number of traditional dice games. Among these are the Puerto Rican game Generala, and the English games of Poker Dice and Cheerio."
Generala was the game I had been talking about.
