Thank you Gamestop Augusta, you had 8 for sale — 2.5 hours in line, $267, and some coffee made it all happen. Now Cam is keeping his and mine is up on Ebay.

This is from Albany State, it began in a dorm room (search around and you’ll see the original recording).

And a little something to make you want to pop in your copy of Drumline:

Just wait until 2:40 and you’ll see why I posted these together…

apparently studying for a NBME Family Medicine exam is all it took to make me post…

the ratio of preparation time to consumption time. I can spend 20 minutes cooking a meal that I can eat in 5 minutes. And then I’m hungry again.
Cans of name-brand tuna were 3/$2 at Publix in North Augusta today (i went for a run at Riverside park where we’re going to play flag football games) so i bought a whole bunch. Unfortunately, i bought a mixture of “tuna in water” and “tuna in vegetable oil” — the oily tuna is absolutely disgusting. However, i figured that it would go pretty well with my frozen stir-fry vegetable mix that I bought last week. So, into the wok they went: tuna with oil (so i don’t have to add vegetable oil for the stir-fry) and broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts, red peppers, whatever else was in the bag. maybe some mushrooms. It looked pretty foul when it was done cooking but tasted good with some soy sauce. 6 oz tuna in oil supposedly has 15g of fat and 31g protein so that’s a good ratio. I probably had 2 grams of sodium between the soy sauce and the tuna, but that’s just electrolyte replenishment.

In other food news, the Sobe Lean Green Tea is very delicious (better than I expected, i had some after I ran) and I’m gonna try to figure out how to make that at home for less than $1.39/20oz or whatever it cost in the store. The key ingredient will be lots of Splenda, but I have that in the morning with coffee anyway. I need to keep good portable breakfast foods in stock so I’ll actually eat them on the walk to the hospital (and the McDonalds $1 sausage biscuit or Bojangles EVERYTHING won’t taunt me every morning)

Let’s see, TV choices tonight: Project Runway finale part 1, NCLS baseball (which I haven’t followed one bit), NBA preseason basketball (international rules, they’re FAAAAANtastic), two-a-days season finale (MTV 10:30), Modern Marvels: Distilleries 2 (History channel 10pm), and the usual mixture of bad movies, news, spikeTV, and Speed Channel (Wednesday = Pinks!).

We have Grand Rounds tomorrow morning featuring a case conference entitled “Cognitive Processing Therapy for Sexual Assault Survivors.” It’ll probably be as exciting as it sounds. At least there’s free breakfast this time…

Thoughts while implementing a new “jump rope during commercial breaks of Monday Night Football or other TV show I’m watching” workout program:

• Apparently Clinton Portis went back on his word and will dress up occasionally for his post-game press conferences. Did anyone see “Dolemite Jenkins” this past week? Hilarious.
• It’s 39 degrees and raining/sleeting in Denver. I’m thankful for Augusta weather right now (tomorrow’s high 80, low 57) but it still is a little hot in the morning on the 20 minute walk to the hospital.
• I need to buy a vacuum cleaner sometime. Or, just throw away this rug that’s under all of my living room furniture.
• The underclassmen don’t seem very interested in the book sale/trade website I set up. Very unfortunate. For them…
• Flag football starts this week, we have a game Thursday at 8pm. And finally after 2 full seasons at crappy fields, they’re holding the games in North Augusta (which is less than 5 minutes from Enterprise Mill, and it also happens to have good working lights). So that’s something I’m anticipating this week.
• Other events: another call night tomorrow (hopefully it’ll be as uneventful as Sunday’s). Lecture tomorrow afternoon. Mid-term feedback forms are due sometime this week (but we’ve only worked with the official 9N attending for two days). I’m supposed to put a presentation together with a 1-2 pg handout about some child psych topic (but I haven’t heard anything else officially about it). I’m thinking maybe suicide attempts/non-suicidal self-injury/personality disorder associations. I’ve got a few abstracts from Pubmed, so I’m doing OK.
• Dunwoody’s homecoming is this weekend so I’m sure we can get a group together to go see Mary cheer. Jenny is supposedly coming up from Baton Rouge with a friend so it would be good to see her also.
• that’s about all i have for right now.

According to a deadspin link I read today, Clinton Portis will no longer be dressing up for post-game press conferences. No more Coach Janky Spanky (which I think I laughed at more than everybody else)….
I have been pretty good about working out this week. two visits to the wellness center plus a run through the ghetto (2 miles round trip from the mill to the corner of 8th and Telfair, then up to Greene, then back — I walked about a block of it) so that’s a decent way to get back into the swing of things in Augusta.
Downside: my back hurts like nobody’s business. I probably need new shoes, these old beat-up adidas trail running shoes have seen better days.

FOOD WARNING: may make you embarassed to know me or hungry, depending on the time of day you read this:
I’ve learned my lesson about posting recipes or meal plans, but I figured out this week that homemade tuna melts (small can tuna, some mayo, chopped pickles, mustard, pepper with swiss cheese on bread grilled in some butter in a cast iron skillet) are freaking delicious and not too bad for you. (nutrition info available upon request).
Also, frozen vegetables steamed in a rice cooker with precooked Tyson’s chicken tastes better than you’d think. I’m eating like this to counteract the free drug rep lunches (lasagna, garlic bread today) and McDonald’s that I’ve eaten a few times this week.

In sports news, UGA goes to Oxford, MS this weekend as an 18 point favorite. Hopefully they’ll rebound from the almost-loss to Colorado and blow out the Rebels. As the Ole Miss fans say: “We may not win every game, but we ain’t never lost a party.” We’ll give them a long day of partying and then a big defeat: UGA 38, Ole Miss 13 — see if I’m right on Saturday night (ESPN2, 9pm).
