Blogbits!
January 10, 2008
- POLITICS: I don’t appreciate John Kerry’s endorsement of Barack Obama. It just seems snide. Although there’s obviously no rule that he has to endorse John Edwards. ::sigh:: I also don’t appreciate Hillary Clinton’s good ol’ cry. I don’t begrudge her the cry, itself, but I trust her so little that I can’t fully believe that she didn’t do it on purpose.
- DEATH: I’ve been thinking a lot about death lately, since we recently had the pediatric hospice lecture, and there is a kid on ECMO in the NICU where I’m working who is about to bite it. (If you don’t want to click on the link, ECMO is basically a last-ditch form of bypass where machines control the heart and the lungs entirely.) I’m not a religious person. I try to be spiritual. But mostly, I need to put my thoughts together regarding this issue because I’m only going to see more of it, where I’m going. I only know that I don’t believe the actual event of dying is painful. Maybe everything leading up to it is, but not the death, itself.
- GUITAR HERO: My husband is officially obsessed but I’m not quite there yet. I do enjoy it, though. One of the things I plan on doing when I finish school is picking up my guitar again. I’d like to take lessons, too. Come to think of it, I need to make a list of things I’d like to do when I graduate, because the official day is December 12, 2008. Just had to slip that in. Don’t ask me what it has to do with Guitar Hero.
- HARRY POTTER: Warning: Spoiler alert. Move on to the next blogbit if you haven’t read them. I finally finished all seven, six months after I began.The final book was good but you can definitely feel it getting more “Moviefied” by the end. The very last chapter, though, made me want to toss the book into a fiery pit. Everyone had grown up and named all their kids after the characters that died. It was quite possibly the most contrived chapter I have ever read in my life. Other than that, the series was fine.
- SCHOOL: Oh, c’mon. I couldn’t do a blogbit without mentioning it. I’ve finished my first week in the neonatal intensive care unit and I actually surprised myself by really enjoying it. Two weeks to go, and hopefully next week I’ll have a baby in an isolette who’s a little more sick. Is it weird that I prefer ‘em sicker, no matter what?
- ROLAND: Poop. Haha. Gotcha. He’s fine. Not liking the fact that I’ve been so busy this month, but he’ll live. We have started leaving him out of his crate for short periods of time while we’re out of the house. I’m please to report that he has neither killed a cat or had explosive diarrhea.

I also think John Kerry was a big jerk over this. I guess he though Edwards was potentially good enough to be president in 2004, but not now???
lol @ “explosive diarrhea”!

haha I have a friend who is completely obsessed with guitar hero too, and let me say. . .I don’t trust myself with that game, I’m afraid of the effects it seems to have on people, lol.
