need my cox

Dr. Cox, that is. So I just realized that Scrubs won't be airing new episodes until mid-season. So bummed. Guess I have to wait until Chicken Little comes out for the latest dose of Zach Braff. Eh, who am I kidding? I'm not gonna watch it. I thought about starting a petition on the Petition Site to get Scrubs back on TV. Didn't happen. I would also like to take this moment to say that I do not like Mandy Moore and Zach Braff together. Maybe it's just because I like Zach a lot more than I like her. But whatever. I just can't believe that Joey is still getting air time when Scrubs is a megazillion times better. At least the Emmy people are finally catching on. Despite their preposterous need to cling on to Will & Grace, they managed to recognize the fantastic work being done on the Scrubs set. Well, at least Zach has an Grammy. If only Neil Flynn & John C. McGinley could get a little love too. ;)

A New Chapter

I took this pic of East Philly on Labor Day 2005.

Life right now is very different from anything I've ever lived before.

1. Graduate school
I'm here. The things I'm learning relate directly to my career. I'm not learning physics, bio, or chem. I am literally learning how to be a physical therapist. Weird...

2. Living on the East Coast
I've left my comfort zone. I'm farther than I have ever been from everything that I know and love. And I am all by myself here.

3. No current romance
So much all by myself. Broke up with my boyfriend of six years. And I guess I'm lonely now. I'm just so used to expressing and giving my love and now I feel like I have all this affection to give and no one to give it to. There are so many things I miss about having someone. Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly fine being on my own, but I just really miss having that connection with someone. Ick, this sounds so pathetic I have to stop talking about it!

4. Blogging
Before I used to blog because I knew that someone in particular was reading it. Not so much these days. I don't even know if that person still reads this. Now writing has become a nice outlet for things. My very first entry into this blog I asked, who in the world is ever going to read this? But now, that doesn't matter anymore. This blog has come to be an outlet for rantings about physical therapy school, thoughts about life in general, and poetry from time to time.

I think that's all I have to say for now. David out. ;)

The Bert Shirt

I wore my Bert shirt today. Got plenty of compliments on it. I just have to express my love for Bert. I truly feel that he is completely misunderstood by so many people. Sure, he may seem boring compared to his roommate Ernie. But in my opinion, Ernie is just annoying and inconsiderate. Like that time when Bert wanted to go to sleep, but Ernie wouldn't let him. What kind of roommate is that?

Bert is such a nice guy. He enjoys his collections and wears cool argyle socks. Why wouldn't you like him? I believe wholeheartedly that there is always something to be said for that unusual guy. Give the other girls their Tom Cruises, Brad Pitts, Ernies, whatever. Let me have the Topher Graces, Zach Braffs, and Berts. That's my kind of guy.

The latest, Part 2

I just wanted to take some time to acknowledge some changes in my life. Yes, this move to the East Coast has inspired new interests. Or perhaps, just enhanced old interests.

First, I've been drinking more than I ever have in my entire life. It has mainly been beer that has been wetting my whistle. Maybe it's just that I didn't hang out with my beer drinking buds in California enough. I don't know. But we will have to see how much longer I can keep going out and drinking without a job. Funds are running low.

And speaking of running, I've been doing that more these days as well. I don't run very far or for very long, but I've been doing it and that oughtta count. My roommate asked me if I wanted to run the Scott Mackler 5K with her in a month. At first I thought no way. I probably run a 15 minute mile. Then I figured, eh, what the hey, I can train for a month. It's only a 5K. If I'm slow, then I'm slow. At least it will give me a goal to work toward. And of course, it's for a good cause.

Lastly, I've been watching more sports than ever before. I don't know if it's the fact that I finally have cable tv, but I've been watching baseball, football, soccer, and tennis. Baseball I'm probably watching more because of the greater variety I get with cable (I love this game!). Tennis I've been watching more because my roommate watches it and I've always liked watching. Soccer, again because of that same roommate, and then World Cup is next year so the games are a little more exciting. Football is a result of both of my roommates. One is a Patriots fan. The other is a Redskins fan, but more importantly has a fantasy football team. And Shaun Alexander is on her team, so now I know I'll be keeping up with my Seahawks.

All pleasant changes. Well, with the beer, it's all good as long as I keep running. Gotta keep all those calories off. Otherwise life is fine and dandy.
