Happy Friday

The ambulance ride-along was basically a big bust. Not even really worth describing. Lots of sitting around and waiting for calls. My friend Kathleen was in a different truck, and she spent about four hours sitting in the hospital waiting for a bed for their single patient. Last night I thought that she had it even worse than me, but now that I think about it, at least she got to see all of the other patients that came into the ER! We kept getting calls and then having them swiped out from under us by other teams. Lame-O.

Spent the day NOT going to class, doing some grocery shopping, studying a bit, trying to look productive. Watched Fried Green Tomatoes tonight and BALLED MY EYES OUT. I don't know what it is about some movies that really gets me going, but this was definitely one of them. Something about Mary Stuart Masterson (whose late eighties-early nineties self I have a huge girl-crush on) and Mary-Louise Parker--their love was so touching and tragic that I couldn't hold it in.

As I dry my tears and try to pull my wasted emotions back together, here's a fabulous website to cheer us all up.

Trust me, it'll crack you up. Via Oh Happy Day, a while back.

I'm off to have another gin and pineapple juice and read The New Yorker. Y'all have a lovely evening, and don't do anything I wouldn't do. St. Patty's for a few more days, after all.
