vacay!
today i took the in-service exam for internal medicine. the purpose of this exam, which medicine residents have to take once a year, is to gauge your knowledge base, weak spots in your clinical acumen, etc - and to see how well you improve over the course of residency, in anticipation of taking the internal medicine boards. in essence, it's step one of a very long board preparation. seeing as how i'm NOT actually going into internal medicine, i don't think i need to elaborate upon why i was not thrilled to spend 7 hours today answering 340 multiple choice questions.
today had a big upside, however - my schedule was successfully manipulated and i now have new year's eve off! hooraayyy! this means let's get started with planning NOW (not really). i'm so excited to have a holiday off, finally.
i saw the departed last night (p.s. i don't think i ever noticed that movies have myspace pages now). it's martin scorcese's adaptation of infernal affairs which is a crazy good hong kong action flick starring andy lau and tony leung (he of wong kar wai cinema fame). scorcese's version has a hell of a cast - nicholson, matt damon, leonardo dicaprio (even though i find his boston accent tough to believe - not that i know a thing about boston accents - i just know that HE doesn't have one), mark wahlberg (absolutely hilarious in his totally not funny role), martin sheen, alec baldwin (he gets funnier as he gets fatter), and even that guy from harold and kumar.
anyway, the language was politically incorrect and abrasive, the violence was graphic, the gunshots were plentiful - it was a great movie and i was thoroughly entertained. i'd seen infernal affairs several times, several years ago, so i had forgotten most of the plot details, which made it much more shocking than i expected. i give it an A PLUS PLUS.
and finally i've been catching up on that hot new tv show studio 60, and i must agree: it's great.
jesus i'm boring.

I don't even have to read your blog anymore. I know exactly what your life is like from watching Grey's Anatomy.
So, are you Dr. McDreamy, or Dr. McSteamy?
