Hello, Weary Traveler
Boy, do you look excited to go visit your Aunt Myrna / attend the 2nd Annual Northwestern Dental Association Conference / go to Ashley’s ‘I’m not married yet, biotches! Las Vegas Bachelorette Blowout’ / fly home to your loving family. And I, too, am excited to be sharing the next two-to-ten hours of my life with you. But before we strike up the forced conversation of trapped strangers, let me set...

Creepy Internet Moment of the day
Joy: Did you ever read Judy Bloom’s Forever?
Chiara: I did.
Joy: While I have never met him, and have a serious boyfriend whom I love, ETC ETC, in my mind I think dating Mike Scollins would be similar to dating Michael from Forever.
Chiara: ….
Joy: And - AGAIN - even though I’ve never met Mike Scollins, I can imagine Mike Scollins as a little boy in the back of his parents’ car driving through...

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes,...
– Happy birthday to you, Edna St. Vincent Millay.
I kind of have this fantasy – because this year that I have been lucky enough to...
– This is a comment about where Anne Hathaway wants to keep her Oscar.
I didn’t start this season disliking her, but I hate her so much now that I cannot think about a time before my hatred started.

Feelings and Wine and Pop Emotions
There is something people don’t really tell you about dating someone in residency: they are always busy and always tired. Yes, I know, television does a good job of portraying their busy schedules, but the majority of a television doctor’s business is when they are actually GETTING BUSY. Not when they are working 24-hours. They don’t show the part where the resident comes home...
