  • Not Beating Around The Bush With Tits

    Maybe because the end of the year is nearing, but I am feeling a terrible sense of ennui. It’s one of those blog entries, I know. Ennui ennui ennui. Whine whine whine. Be morose. Morose morose morose. But we can’t… Read More ›

  • Atrocitus

    Ran last night to Comic Odyssey not expecting I’d find it, I ran, ran, ran, crapping in my pants. Until I realized it was unnecessary, because hanging in the pegs are two figures of… Atrocitus The Red Lantern!!! Atrocitus is… Read More ›

  • Dawn, Dawn, Dawn. Dawn.

    While reading some ECGs in the ECG room who should come in but a bevy of students—an entire ward service at that. Now the ECG room is that tiny, tiny room where we are required to do an official reading… Read More ›

  • Beware JJL’s Wrath

    One night back when we were in the 1st year’s callroom I was positioned snugly in the most coveted bed. The others in the room with me that night were JJL, Dondee, and Lloydie. The 1st year’s quarters is a… Read More ›

  • P.T.N.

    Some people accuse me of being nice. There is nothing worse than getting accused of being nice. Actually there are much worse things, like being called unfunny, whiny, studious, etc, but permit the hyperbole. Eyebrows are probably shooting up in… Read More ›
