Post-its from the Brink
1) 10 hour night shifts require 12 hours sleep before and after.
2) Thought of the week : re-minisce would opt for a dog rather than a kid anyday for the pure, unadulterated joy of throwing a ball into the sea and watching your dog bring it back in his mouth. try that with a kid and you'll probably wind up in jail.
3) People are intrinsically self-centred. So much as write anything remotely suggesting that comments being left on a certain blog are insincere, and suddenly everyone thinks you're writing specifically about them. (I am not insincere! Not all the comments are insincere! I take offence, I take issue with, etcetcetc. I, I. Aye.) Funny, I don't remember naming anyone, and I didn't write the word "all" in there, did I? ah well. Re-minisce wagers ten squid that this post earns him a lot of "I am not self-centred!!" replies. laughs
3) Televisions are dangerous, addictive things. Another reason why re-minisce is glad that he doesn't have one in his flat. Catching himself watching... strange obese star-shaped creatures with large eyes making flatulent noises while flying around the screen squeaking in glee, with genuine interest - now that is probably the first sign. or is it the second? Hmm what do you think? Well, actually... cough. must stop talking to self. okay, sure. (whatever happened to the good old teletubbies? at least they could talk!)
4) (Mydreamd8) Host Sara's mailbox quota has been exceeded. Doubtlessly the effects of her latest rants about brazillian waxing. needles in haystacks. snigger.
5) Orthopedics house officers apparently have a single role in life, which is to drink all the coffee in the mess
6) Re-minisce has realised why London is so grey and grubby. It has to do with "preservation". Have you noticed (no, probably you haven't) the signs on the walls of places like St Paul's Cathedral and other touristy places, which have words like "Do Not use Flash Photography. Flashes can wear out the materials of these works" engraved on them?
's the same with buildings. Water wears out the bricks you see. Only stands to reason. All this rain water we get all the time, nasty stuff. It's a good thing the buildings grow their own protective shells of dirt, grime and mould innit, or we'd all be living in dirty, grimy little puddles in the ground. Instead of dirty, grimy little puddles above the ground. It's a good thing words can't be worn out the same way, innit? Or can they. Stop reading all these words dammit! You're wearing them out!!!
7) But words can be worn out. "Too many I love Yous..."
8) Yet there are none so deaf as those who will not hear
9) Jam and cream scones for tea are overrated. Doctors messes are also far too macho for wimpy drinks like tea to lie around. Witness the generic pool table and twenty cable TV remotes. Truly a man's world.
10) Three.
Feeling : knackered. Apprehensive? (surgeon general's warning, pressurised canisters applied to head can be hazardous to your health) Anticipatively cautious. Speculatively inclined. Fascinatedly detached.
Nutshell : mixed. Shields, sulu? Or warp speed five, data.
ug. Captain, there is a large stretchy cylinder enveloping our ship. It appears to be in the form of an ancient Terran contraceptive device.
Argh! A Clingon!! Get us out of here Scotty!
woof.
