Conversation Transition

When you thought the UPS/Fed EX experience wasn't cute/absurd enough, I saw something else.

Tollwaywarrior and I were walking while talking about poor Emmitt Till.

(Apparently, he had a speech impediment. His mom told him to whistle if he couldn't get what he wanted to say out of his mouth. Ironic and Tragic.)

To say the least, the conversation was a little serious. Mood completely changed when I looked what was sitting on a local ice cream shop's bench...Homeless dude, with huge afro, holding a blow-up baseball bat featuring the Simpsons.

Funny?
Maybe? Maybe not?
You had to be there.

Fed Ex Dude Vs. UPS Dude

If this is possible, then peace is just a handshake and beer away for rivals...
Get a tissue now...

Yesterday afternoon, I watched the Fed Ex Dude and UPS Dude exchange smiles and "how are you's?"
These men separated themselves from the uniform.
I wanted to cry for joy.

This consumer's report

i hate my HP (Hewlett Packard) laptop...or "desktop replacement unit" as the HP rep called it 3 years ago. it's a pavilion 1250 and has to be the most unreliable piece of shit money can buy! right now I am blogging through a Dell Inspiron 2650 that is literally held together by white medical adhesive tape! this poor thing is more reliable than my HP which has had 4 new hard drives installed over the last 2.5 years.

As for other HP products, I love the printers. I have HC PSC 1610 All-In-One Copier/Printer/Scanner and if it were possible, I would be honored to bear its children. In the words of Ferris Bueller, it's SO CHOICE.

I need a new laptop.

OMG, you can buy Silent Bob's signature coat.

If you are a Kevin Smith fan, have a few bucks to spare, and have a room dedicated to COOOOOL SHIT, I advise you to buy everything from Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash.

Brodie Bruce

Just saw the commercial for "My Name is Earl" on NBC...some show starring Jason Lee. JASON LEE?? WTF? He's a former skateboarder turned actor. Not that one can't change careers...But who knew? To me, he will always be Mallrat's Brodie Bruce.

If it's brown, drink it down

So if I have "shit brown eyes," is this sink water the proper color?

Did I forget to pay the water bill?

Or is this my own espresso machine in the bathroom?

Chinatown, San Francisco

To get the rarefied Chinatown Experience, you have to go on the streets off and parallel to Grant Street. There you will find the spices and herbs, choice underwater creatures, and live and cooked fowl. We found the authentic Chinatown smell at the grocery store.

"It's stinky and sweet at the same time!"

Here are a few shots of tasty birds.

Chinatown's finest fowl

Free Wireless Internet...A Laptop Toting tourist's

Greetings from San Francisco.
Happened to check out the town on foot today, Friday...6 hours of uphill and downhill...
Worth it.
The views are priceless.
Just a quick note before hitting the sack.
Glad I packed a wireless card.
As indispensable as a toothbrush while on a trip.

Ode to my Nurse Crushes

The "Girl Crush"
YOu know you've had one.
Read this...if you've ever had a hetero crush on a guy or girl.

I have had a "nurse crush" on superstar nurses I worked with in nursing school. These 2 women know everything and aren't beeyatches. Definitely not the Florence Nightingale types. They're aggresive and know their pathophysiology, pharmacology, and how to be effective teachers. People go to them for advice and approval because they're so willing to help you and are experts.

They make nursing look so easy. When I see them in action, I am reminded of why I became a nurse.

RIP Soldado23

Mourning the loss of Soldado23 everyday

AC Units...the process of generating cool air yields a disgusting product...AC JUICE.

Getting hit by AC Juice makes me feel unclean and disgusting. I make every effort to move to the left side of the sidewalk when I see wet spots on the ground and hear the sound of the AC itself.

AC Juice...It's just water, but its source is an AC unit...eww...unpure.

Afternoon Biryani on Devon Street

Yesterday, I couldn't eat more than one serving of BBQ at McGee's "Pork Fest" off Webster St. However, this afternoon, I could not help from enjoying South Indian cookin at a buffet-style restaurant off Devon St. Below are some pics I took after fillin my belly.

Fresh coconut water from young coconuts 

Fresh sugah cane juice!

What you won't expect in a Lincoln Park yard

Totally Absorbed at my local CVS

In the spirit of Iron Chef, I had an impromptu "to buy" list with the theme ingredient, PAPER!

• 24 pack of toilet paper, regular
• 8 pack of paper towel
• 18 pack of ultra-thin slender maxi-pads

(funny, right? What was a little more telling of the times were the packs of Cadbury Milk Chocolate bars in the shopping basket ;) )

That wasn't uncomfortable...Read on

As the third person in line at the cash register, my heart went out to the poor fellow in front of me purchasing condoms. Condom Dude had to wait behind a dude who went over his receipt, line by line, with the cashier. To make matters worse for the Condom dude, 2 women with their rambunctious 4 children, ages ranging from 6-8, walked into the store and decided to crowd around the row of candy by the register. I could only imagine the look of discomfort on the Condom Dude's face. While the kids pleaded with their mothers to buy them each candy AND gum, Condom Dude, put his purchase closer to his heart...Was he embarrassed of the situation? Doubt it. I think he was he even more determined to complete his purchase.

And he did...no CVS card though

Condom Dude, where ever you are, your determination will pay off.

Red Red Wine

Now that I've graduated nursing school and thankfully passed the NCLEX/boards, drinking a glass of red wine is different. A good "different." Now, I let the wine breath as I enjoy its' deep red hues. Oh, the great aroma...A sniff sniff here and a sniff sniff there. It's quite a pleasurable experience.

Being a student kept me from all this.

I guess that's what happens when you quaff that stuff down!

Drink responsibly.

News to smirk at

Got this from Slate.com

Can Livin' La Vida Lo-Carb be right that Bush is "leading by example," when the rest of America isn't following? The Post says that in January 2004, more than 9 percent of Americans were on low-carb diets. Now that number had shrunk to 2.2 percent. The same weekend Bush took his physical, Atkins Nutritionals Inc., the premier producer of low-carb foods, declared bankruptcy. The reason: The dogs don't like it.

So, if Bush has lost weight by giving up donuts, he's the only one. Moreover, he tested positive for carbohydrates. The Has-Been's new theory: Bush didn't use steroids intentionally.

Nursing...It's Image

I found this site after googling "Grey's Anatomy" and review. First of all, the ABC show is AWFUL! HIPAA violations and poor sterile technique GALORE! This show is a patient's worst nightmare. MORE ON THIS VERY SOON...Tollwaywarrior and I are amazed that I watched the entire episode last night.

If you care about the nursing profession's image, check out this website. See what you can do.
