7:19am

Here I sit, all dressed up at my computer, trying desperately to convince myself that I should get on the subway and go into work. I'm not too convincing right now. I haven't been too convincing over the last hour. I've been up since 5:30am....showered....full of delicious breakfast (eggs, english muffin, coffee). I have even checked every email account, all my regular internet pages (ESPN, uticaod.com, CNN, Facebook, Foxnews, nylottery.org) and I have searched wikipedia for Susan Sarandon, Natalie Portman, Mark Zuckenburg, Jon Stewart, and some atheist (see below). I have also searched for all the scoop regarding Mark Sanchez and listened/read all the gossip. I was about to leave and get on the subway when I thought "I should blog". So, here I am...:)

Why Mark Sanchez you ask? Well, I went to the Daily Show last night and it was awesome!! I love Jon Stewart and although the whole process was long (waiting in line, going through security, waiting for the show to start), it was worth it. Of course, he talked about the whole Sanchez fiasco, poked some fun, had everyone laughing. Then he had some atheist on to talk about his new book. Don't misrepresent my last comment....I myself am an atheist, I just felt that this guy did not represent me AT ALL!! He was stiff, like a deer in headlights during the 10 minute interview. I really don't recall what he said because I sort of zoned out, although I was brought back to laughter when Jon made a comment about the 10 commandments being put on Styrofoam for easy toteability! After the interview I thought, "I should read his book maybe it will be more entertaining" but then I forgot the name of the book and spent this morning searching the internet for the details which I found easily because I am a super internet sleuth. His name is Mark Harris and the book is entitled The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values. All this effort makes me want to read the book more.

Of course, after the show I got some really good Thai food at a place whose name escapes me...I tried to google "Thai food in NYC" and got like 500 restaurants...maybe I should google "Thai food 9th ave".......nope, still can't find it. The food was really good and the wine was even better ;) I thought on the subway ride home that I should blog not only about last nights adventure but my super fun weekend in the city. On saturday I went kayaking at Pier 40, had a homemade ice cream cookie sandwich at Milk and Cookies in the West Village, and then proceeded to lose my metrocard, got really angry, ordered some chinese, bought a bottle of Sake and went home and drank my $89 investment away (currently working on getting reimbursed by MTA). Sunday felt better, worked out, went to the movies to see The Social Network, had really good pizza and a cupcake and went home.

So the point of this entire blog today is to point out the fact that 4th year medical students really have way too much time on their hands because not only can they leave their rotation at noon to get into the Daily Show line but they can also sit in front of the computer and search endlessly for things just to fill time and blog about their NYC adventures so they can put off getting on the subway to go to work. Okay, 7:42am....time to get going. Have a great day.
