Countdown to an important event

Sunday, June 1, 2008

Ok, so as I said before

I have decided to start writing a post a day.
Being Sunday, doesn't mean it's a day of rest (atleast not for me). After a quick run to the lab (and noticing one of the post-doc hard at work ), I made my way home to my stuffy apartment (temps in the mid 80's at home). I got my spouse (we shall name him- el hombre) to open some windows and I plonked myself on the floor and promptly started surfing. And waiting for my parents (who I think are mad at me, for an event that happened last week, but I am in no mood to share) to come online (which they didn't), I went into the study and picked up on my cramming.
For the uninitiated, I have a veterinary degree from a non AVMA accredited vet school (of which there are several thousand worldwide) and am hopelessly trying to get my veterinary licence in the US. It is a long and drawn out process made of 6 steps- from getting all your credentials verified to making sure you can speak English (by taking one of those g******** ETS tests) to getting quizzed on veterinary theory and clinics. I assume I should be done in 2012, by which time my hair will be grey and I will be hobbling on a stick.
Working 8-10hrs a day and then coming home to study for 4-6hrs is extremely painful. More so, when I have el hombre to make out with ;-)
The pressures of work and study have resulted in me running away from reality by burying myself in novels borrowed from a neighboring library and I just finished reading 'Unaccustomed Earth' in 1.5 days. An easy read thankfully, with complex Indian characters that don't go the caricaturist (sp?) way.
I have just started on Kate Summerscale's Queen of Whale Cay that is only 200 pages, but promises to be fun.
I managed to drag myself and el hombre last night to watch 'Babymama' because Tina Fey is the big sister I never had. I was disappointed. Tina is a wonderful writer and a good actress when she plays herself (or something close to herself like her 30 Rock character-Liz Lemon). When she tries to play a complicated organic foods bizniz woman, its just like drinking papaya with coffee (watch the movie to get the metaphor, bitches!). Amy Poehler needs to stick to SNL sketches only. And use Tina as a crutch. If I was a lesb, I would love to do a threesome with Tina and Amy or fantasize about it. I got the idea from the crazy shower scene (again, watch the movie, you c***).
El hombre and I have a thing for foreign movies we watch on Netflix. We saw a crazy spanish movie called Fausto 5.0 that was effing brilliant.
El hombre ( who was one of the reasons why I shut down my first blog) is getting suspicious of my online activity, so I will bid adieu for now.
Don't worry, it ain't over yet.
