Sports Guy and the NBA

February 26, 2006

usually, a combination that is guaranteed to make me stop reading halfway through the column.

however, Simmons’ latest column is absolutely the best NBA column he’s ever written, and would probably be in the top 5 of all-time columns. Just check it out:The 1st Annual Atrocious GM Summit
Just a little monday-morning link for the worker bees out there.

waffle house

waffle house is starting to take credit cards. no more “i’ll pay you back for my $4 meal,” no more late-night ATM runs. i think this might increase my waffle house intake in the future, so it’s probably a good move for them…
class is starting so i’m gone

the week so far

February 21, 2006

I’ve averaged a nap per day already this week, so that’s definitely a good sign. We have a surgery interest group meeting tonight, there’s an orthopedic surgeon talking about 3rd year rotation information and other topics. We had a test Monday morning over pediatrics, and then had class for a couple of hours monday afternoon. That’s pretty cruel, but at least it didn’t go as long as scheduled. Today’s attendence was laughable (not that I blame anyone for not showing up, I immediately regretted it).
Last weekend, Katie and I celebrated a late Valentine’s day — I picked up some 50%-off chocolate from Fresh Market and brought it to her work. Also, I gave her the necklace that I had made from her cousin Ken (who works at Brown and Co. Jewelers in Roswell) and she loved it. She gave me a shirt and tie, as well as kroger and mcdonald’s gift cards (so I am out of excuses for make those borderline-inedible food concoctions). I wish I could take a picture of the shirt and tie, it’s a great looking combo that I will probably wear at my next Physical Diagnosis small group meeting. Friday evening, we went to Happy Sumo which was delicious as always — we sat next to a family that was interesting. You’ve got to expect random additions to your conversation when you’re sitting next to a bored mother, and we got a few of those. The rest of the weekend was good, I wish that I didn’t have to come back here for that test. We mixed in a few Sopranos episodes and made some homemade chocolate shakes, hopefully there will be more custom dessert creation this weekend…
with that, it’s time to go to this meeting.
Expect another post about my initial Augusta Biking experience, it was moderately comical…

v-day

February 15, 2006

it turns out that posting is much more interesting than class, so i’ll give you a valentine’s day update.
from cameron in an email sent yesterday:

Someone just called the Monsters of the Mid-day and said the Kroger in Augusta is currently selling a 6 pack of bud with a box of condoms and a balloon attached that says happy valentines day. Nothing says love like the the big 3 (beer, balloons, condoms). Seeing how I have experienced the Augusta Kroger firsthand I don’t doubt this but if you were going by a K today and you took a cell phone pic of this….

well, i went to the Ghetto Kroger and it was nowhere to be found. this was probably a “white trash kroger” item (and there are too many of those krogers to visit).

yesterday after physical diagnosis group, i watched women’s curling, house and the shield. valentine’s day for me is postponed until this weekend, so i tried to look forward to that.
i love you, KJ, i hope you had a happy valentine’s day yesterday.
