hello.
two more off days. yay. but i have to work ten hour days every weekday for the next couple weeks. boo.
anyways yesterday we went out to bars in chicago. yay, i finally popped my going out in chicago cherry. more cherries need to be popped, though. hahahaha. haha. ahem.
anyways it was cool to go out with a lot of my friends. just wanna say thanks cassie for open bar at tequila. it helped set a decent foundation of drinking for the night, but i wasnt really drunk or even buzzed. oh well, it was still fun. i havent gone drinking in a while. anyways the best part was when we went to john barleycorns, or whatever its called. i saw this hot chick dancing with her friends. so i enlisted the help of smythe to be my wingman. we went up to them and smythe asked the other girl to dance. since we were closer, i got a good look at the "hot chick", and it turns out... not hot. sheeee. anyways, smythe got denied by the other chick. since when does smythe get denied for anything? that was very discouraging, what am i doing asking girls to dance if someone denies smythe? anyways, just wanted to give smythe props. he was the hero of the night:
(cheesy rock music playing)
"and they say that a hero can save us, i'm not gonna stand here and waaaiitt...."
and bridget let me smoke some of the best cigarrette i ever tried, (but i dont smoke) : turkish jade somethings.
then we had an interesting ride home. i had to pee badly. so of course we talk about peeing styles. many methods to peeing. one hand on hip, one hand on wall, one hand on pants flap, etc. anyways thanks dennis for driving back.
ok thats all for now, set your clocks for 0630 tomorrow, brasil vs. alemania.

Carlton's log:
haha thats from fresh prince. its funny if you've seen it.
after reading my first blog, i decided that commas are our friends. so i'll try to make my (b)logs more coherent from now on.
anyways, today was another day of work after 3 days off. it sucked. the lowlight was getting ripped apart by my boss (it's not as bad as i'm making it sound). not ripped apart as in getting yelled at, but ripped apart as in getting asked questions about stuff and not knowing the answer. my boss is kind of a sadist. he likes asking questions and then giving you hints to say the wrong answer, upon which he will tell you you're wrong. then you feel bad. oh well, it's not a big deal. otherwise, he's a nice guy. the other people who are in training have to go through it too. although one guy who started training before me quit a few days ago...oh well. at least the 12 hrs went by fast today.
speaking of work, the people there are all pretty cool. i've told some of you about the guy who says "spicy" a lot. except he says it like "spice-ay" (suggested spelling courtesy of dudo). for example: "Oh, you got the program up? Spice-ay.", "You got any spice-ay ketchup for me?", "Did you spice-ay pass the test?, etc. he's a cool guy, though, and probably looks nothing like you picture him. hopefully no one at work stumbles upon my blog.
also, congrats to robbie archibald. who would have thought he would go 6 spots behind frankie williams at pick 32. not me. i imagine he'll be one of those white basketball players everyone hates except fans of the team he plays for and fans of his alma mater, like pollard, osterfag, lafrentz, etc.
anyways, i cant think of anything else to say, and its almost time for bed. i'll just leave with this parting sentiment:
(certain kinds of) Medicine is for Winners.

This is my log.
Hmm, wondering if I should use proper capitalization. or just write my sentences like this. i guess ill go with this for now and see how it looks. anyways.
at dudo's (joe chen) urging, i decided to make a blog. by the way i reccommend reading his. they are good. anyways, hopefully people find this interesting, but im sure most of my entries will be like this:
todays log (work day):

maybe ill throw in some more details once in a while. like stopping at dunkin donuts to get munchkins before work. or talk about some little thing thats bothering me. well i'm done for now, even though i havent talked about my day at all.
ill write a "good things" list now. some of you might remember my .plan at the big u of i. i always had a "good things" list. basically its a list of good things going on currently in my life. thought provoking isnt it.
