the beginning

As I sit here very bored waiting for another flight for another residency interview, I decided it would be a good time to start my blog that I have been planning to do during my travels to Thailand and Lesotho this year for medical rotations.

First, I would like to say that I am really really sick of traveling. I used to find it exciting. I don't anymore. At least not this boring crap of flying into a city, interviewing and exiting the city. I guess that really isn't traveling so I should really say I am sick of the hassle of interviewing in new places. It costs a lot of money, you don't really do anything fun, and you have to talk about yourself FOREVER. I am so sick of saying how interested I am with blah blah blah (I can't even right it because it would make me sick). It's all true, I'm just sick of repeating the same bullshit.

Second, I would like to explain the title of my blog. Although probably self explanatory, these are my favorite things. So, I might as well write about all of them, right? Okay, now you are probably thinking, you just said you hate travel. I know, ridiculous. But, I don't really hate travel. I'm just sick of the hassle. I am really excited about going to Thailand and Lesotho this year. I am also totally obsessed with my kitty. His name is Rambo. I got him when he was about 9 months with my boyfriend Jamie. He is the sweetest, friendliest cat with a slightly vindictive side. If you fuck with him, he fucks with you right back. This comes in the form of batting you with two of his paws, an occassional bite, and then he runs away far enough to be a safe distance and then glares you down. This happens more with Jamie and Rambo than me and Rambo. Jamie attributes this to Rambo's trying to usurp him as master of the household to win my affections. That sounds a little too anthropomorphic...even for me.

Then comes the wine. I really love wine. I've been doing a lot of wine tastings recently and I really love it. I've been drinking a lot more sweet wine (more of Jamie's influence) and so it satisfies both my sweet tooth (okay, teeth) as well as my alcohol tooth. Life can't get much better than that. I have a bunch of really yummy sweet wines all waiting for me at home (away from where I am going :-( But, that is half the fun in going away on travels, you get to come home.

Flight to NC should be taking off soon, so I should get ready to bored.
