Tomorrow is Match Day. Everyone congregates in the courtyard, we have a class picture, and administration passes out little envelopes with our matches in them. I guess it's like the Academy Awards with all the anticipation. Television crews are usually there, as it's a big deal that the next class of doctors is being sent on their next assignments. It's yet another rite of passage. I had a filet from Outback Steakhouse to celebrate matching. It was quite good along with my Cesar salad and baked potato.
So we find out where our lives are now headed towards, then we go drink. I had my blood tested today at Dr. Bond's office to see how my liver is doing post-mono. I feel much better, and I have a feeling my liver will be ok. Cause if it's not, I'll be pissed that I can't drink on Match/St. Patrick's Day. I even have a green dress shirt and tie to commemorate the occasion.
Tonight we watched The Notebook. It's a little romance movie, but it's also an emotional rollercoaster. There are a bunch of young actors you've never heard of plus James Garner. I don't want to spill the beans about it, but I really thought it was incredible for a chick flick. You experience pretty much every emotion you have before it's all said and done. Very powerful.
I saw Toy Story 2 a few nights ago. This is a fantastic movie. However, I still haven't seen Toy Story 1. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are fantastic as two of the voices along with big stars like Joan Cusack, Kelsey Grammer, Don Rickles, the late Jim Varney, John Ratzenberger, Annie Potts, and Estelle Harris. I laughed several times during the movie, and there are plenty of intelligent moments as we would expect from a Pixar film. I look forward to eventually seeing the first one, as I know it is also greatness.
I now have Donnie Darko in my possession. I will be watching it in the coming days and will let you know what I think. In addition Nathan has sent me Shaolin Soccer, which I very much anticipate viewing. This reminds me that The Maestro still has Nathan's newly framed painting. The Maestro had to cancel on my yesterday and today for me to pick up the painting, but hopefully I will get another chance tomorrow. It seems The Maestro is very busy these days, as yesterday was Tango lessons (as he teaches every Tuesday), and today is something else. I really look forward to seeing Nathan's "Bowl of Organs" aka "A Hospital Scene" with the master's frame. It will be a nice end to Match Day tomorrow, with me hopefully ending up where I want to end up.
