I just made grilled pork tenderloins with Thai red vegetable curry and jasmine rice and while the pork tenderloins ended up being pan-seared/fried in a regular skillet rather than grilled due to a rusty grill pan it was delicious and anyway, totally getting laid tonight.

bret michaels: kind of gross

Don’t say you weren’t warned.
About the AWESOMENESS, I mean. And the excruciatingness.
(There may or may not be a small segment in which I half-heartedly sing and then scream further about Bret Michaels and his creepitude. I can’t be sure whether it exists though.)
Come to think of it, pretty sure C.C. DeVille DID wearing a thong on his head.
Also, it's a pretty fucking sad state of affairs that while mention of the 'Challenger' disaster fills me with horror, it doesn't make me cry like the death of one dog in space does.
Am I actually human?
I don’t even know any more.
No, it’s not sad. Animals are… different. In the best, most important possible way.

Nice. I dare you to turn in a diss that consists of one and only one word: “Period.” You tell your committee it represents the existential angst in the sociology of medicine with regards to how physicians navigate the transition from paper to electronic records.
Then you excuse yourself because of “gas” and grab a drink with your friends at the local pub.
You might not graduate, but you WILL be a legend among doc students worldwide.
If you knew me, you’d know that it wouldn’t be “gas.” It would just be gas. And it wouldn’t be an excuse.
Anyway, totally considering this.

Heh heh. Well, it is pretty nice—less drinking and more brain cells to spare these days, I guess. Thanks for the sentiments. Are you in school?
At the risk of being world’s most annoying reblogger today (HI EVERYONE DON’T HATE ME), I decided to answer on my stream because I figured what the heck: This way I can say a little more about what I do when I’m not procrastinating, rather than just allude to “the dissertation.”
Yes, I am a doctoral candidate. I am ABD and am currently writing my dissertation, having completed a year and a half of ethnographic research on the sociological perspective of how physicians navigate the transition from paper records to electronic health records in the local context and against the backdrop of the larger institutional logics. The writing phase is… you know. The writing phase.
This is actually my ninth year (YES PEOPLE NINE YEARS) of grad school - I took five years off after college, then went back for a two year terminal MA program, then started alllll over again at a sociology PhD program. It’s been an experience, to say the least.
Anyway, I’m enjoying reading your stuff. Super interesting! I found it through a post from that swell husband of yours.

Deadspin, via Marketplace.org radio, which quoted the best bit (no spoilers) right as I drove into my bland-as-hell suburban workplace “campus”. I’ll consider it a break-even day.
Having just gotten out of grad school, I can say this e-mail exchange between student-prof is priceless. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, but dang, it’s a fun read. Thanks tiffehr!
My friend forwarded this to me the other day with a “this made me think of you,” for many reasons I think - and I loved it as well. So good, and highly recommended.
But mostly I’m lingering on that “having just gotten out of grad school” bit. Mmm. That has such a nice ring to it.
Speaking of. I should get off the internet.
