What was the last good movie you watched?

In Auburn, before heading home -- It inspired some "festive" black nail polish, which I managed not to spill all over the carpet, not that it would matter now anyway:

Sid & Nancy - Criterion Collection

And this morning, lounging on the couch drinking egg nog for breakfast:

Say Anything

I am off to the hometown to stay with my parents for Christmas. I plan to do a lot of resting, relaxifying, and loafing.  Ah, loafing: one of the greatest pleasures of the holidays, and it's made even better with adult egg nog. 

I wish you all a very merry Christmas, filled with as much egg nog and pie as you can stand, and deliciously absent of canned asparagus.

Waitress (Widescreen Edition)

After watching this, I now have a strange, mysterious, inexplicable urge to bake and eat many pies.  Key lime pie, pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, apple pie, lemon meringue pie.  Mmm.  PIe. 

It seems the tragic events that led to the death of my phone -- that sad, lonely night it spent alone in a puddle -- had a silver lining. Well, fine, the phone didn't die, but it stopped reliably making noise, which is a problem of you, like, you know, want to, like, HEAR THINGS.

So, the good part: I had been coveting an iPhone for ever and kept telling myself not to buy one till the holidays, when I might more reasonably expect to be flush with cash. I might not have even bought one then, if I kept telling myself to be all financially responsible and shit. But! Who can worry about all that when faced with the tragic death of a beloved cell phone? It was a purchase born out of grief and nevessity, i tell you.

Good bye, old phone. You've been good, but you've also been replaced.

PS: I am posting this via email, as I cant seem to type in the Vox compose box. Any help on that?

I passed and am now officially a doctor.  So far I have learned that doctors have a lot of drinks bought for them.  Doctors also get to sleep in.  Sometimes doctors are faced with problems, like a headache, for example, or like the sudden inability to figure out how to put on a tank top.  Hey, tank tops are confusing.  Nonetheless, as in all things, doctors will face these problems bravely.

I am still not sure where my minions are, however.  I was told there would be minions, and right now I need said minions to bring me some sushi.  Still waiting for the minions.

I can't believe I have never taken Amtrak before. Waiting to leave Portland...
