Have any of you guys seen Swamp People? I may or may not have spent my day off watching a marathon. I'm completely fascinated.
Also enjoyable- Game of Thrones, both the tv show and the book (although there are things that George Martin does that I do NOT approve of). I'm pretty excited to read the second one.

Suite Soundtrack Addition
I regret to inform you all, we have a new addition to our Suite Soundtrack. We all know "It's The Weekend," because it describes the moment and gets the party started. But let's be real, is that really specific enough? We need to start breaking it down by days. Luckily, the lovely Rebecca Black has taken the liberty of breaking it down for us.

Enjoy ... you will soon be infected with the "Black Plague" (distant relative to "Beiber Fever").
You're welcome.

I'm alive?!? I know, I'm surprised too...
So I may or may not have just read the blog for the first time in a couple of months. I should probably just cut my losses and move on, but I'm gonna backtrack a little bit to previous subjects (in no particular order).
Rant:
http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2114755097/
This infuriates me. We only use 20% of our brains? Bullshit. We use way more than that. I might buy it if someone said we can only exactly pinpoint the function of 20% of our brains, but really with imaging and technology these days, I wouldn't be surprised if it was more. This is my biggest pet peeve ever in the media. It's a hugely pervasive idea that is just so wrong it hurts my soul. I'm sure you guys have heard me bitch about this before, but I'm doing it again anyway. Also, Bradley Cooper- kind of annoys me these days. I don't know when that happened, but it did.
TV
Shows I hate: 30 Rock and Glee. 30 rock because I have these 2 friends who think it came from God himself and that it's just the best show ever when in fact it's a mediocre show with generally annoying characters that haven't gotten any new jokes in 4 years. However, I think I probably wouldn't hate it as much if they didn't love it so much; I kind of feel like I need to counter their undeserving love with my undeserving hate in order to bring balance back into the universe. As for Glee, it's just not my thing. I find it trite and cliche and the fact that it doesn't pull on my heartstrings makes me feel like I must be insensitive to bullying and the plight of gay teens or something. That annoys me.
Shows I love: Fringe and some BBC shows (Being Human, Sherlock Holmes, and Misfits). Fringe is awesome. There are alternate universes, doppelgangers, evil plans, humor, and something totally gross happens just about every week. How could I say no to these things? Answer: I can't. I don't know what's up with me and British television right now, but I like it. It has kind of a weird vibe so it always takes me a few episodes to get into it, but then I'm totally hooked. It's really annoying though that each season is like 7 episodes long. I'm never ready for it to be over.
Shows I love that you'll judge me for (and probably rightly so): The Vampire Diaries and Cougar Town. I'm going to refer you to this article (http://www.avclub.com/articles/ten-reasons-you-should-be-watching-the-vampire-dia,50681/) on The Vampire Diaries because it is so true. The pacing is great, the storyline is interesting, and Boone is beyond awesome. As for Cougar Town, I think it's light-hearted and fun. They've dropped the cougar premise of the show and now it's just a bunch of friends who hang out and drink wine a lot. I like it.
My Life:
Is boring. But has recently begun transitioning into boring and stressful. We're signing up for our 3rd year rotation schedule at the end of the month, and it's kind of freaking me out even though I know it shouldn't. Plus, I take boards (aka the test that will determine my future) on April 14th, and that is uncomfortably close.
Reunions:
Bum me out. I'm not going to be able to meet up with you guys because of boards, and I have a sneaking suspicion I won't be making it to Meem's wedding in June. Theoretically, I could be on an easier rotation with weekends off and fly into Naples, but I'm reluctant to arrange all my scheduling around 1 wedding. Plus, Meem says we should get there on Wednesday or Thursday and that definitely won't happen regardless of the rotation I'm in. So yeah. Bummed out.
And... that's all I got. My B for being long winded.
