Critiques and More

 

That right there completely describes my morning. Boo monday.

So today instead of trying to study, I spent about 2 hours playing with the dogs outside (I'm now known as "laser lady" and it is demanded of me to preform as such. Making it the 4,509 game of laser since Tuesday), and watching 1.5 movies. I'll give you a rundown:

I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell: really funny movie. I would totally recommend it. However, be wary of the company you keep, there are several illicit sex scenes and while watching with the opposite gender it may elicit some "oh crap" sentiments after all is said and done. It does a good job at the gross factor at the end, and as always cheesy make up lines that show all the characters making up in the end. I would almost rate it as a Hangover wannabe, but seeing how the book came out before then I'll just say it's comparable but not close. I'd give it a 4/5 on comedy for it's laugh out loud nature (we all know I love a bring-the-irony-in-the-spotlight) and a 3/5 on content. It's great if you just want to kill a few brain cells and have a good laugh.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs: I was very disappointed in this movie. As a general fan of the "Ice Age" makers, this failed to keep my attention. I was editing my facebook profile in record time. Lack of action packed content and come one-don't lie we all just watch the movie for the spastic squirrel! In about all of 30 min I didn't see the sucker once. The mammoths or something were having kids and building playgrounds. Snore. I give it a 1/5 because the animation was fair if you put the thing on mute (thus making it my 1/2 of a movie since I didn't make it all the way through)

On to Books:

As I mentioned, I'm reading The House of God by Samuel Shem. At first it was off to a slow start, but it has begun to pick up the pace. I have found myself laughing out loud at certain parts, especially the ever so true matter of fact way the author highlights commonplace in some medical practice. There is some strong sexual undertones, especially when the main character speaks of this nurse, but I'll leave the audience out there to read that for themselves. About 10 chapters in, this book is receiving 2/5 just based on the facts that 1. I haven't finished it 2. Slow start 3. preoccupation with boobs. I am looking forward to finishing the book, however.

Another glorious day, not doing much. I'm not hating peds clinic. Doesn't make me want to slit my wrists or pop out my eyeballs like medicine clinic did. I love the kids. Hopefully I won't change my mind from Pathology. I think it's a long shot, but you never know. Those kids are completely precious. Even when they are screaming bloody murder because you have the audacity to listen to their chest with your foreign evil shiny torture device (commonly known as: stethoscope).
