New Star Trek top ten
I checked online today, and I saw that the next re-booted Star Trek is due, supposedly, in June 2012. I wish we didn't have to wait that long, especially since we seem to get a Twilight movie every 6 months or so. So I decided to take a moment to discuss my enjoyment of the rebooted Star Trek. Don't call me a fair-weather fan either. I watched TOS in elementary school and have seen all TOS movies and TNG movies. My husband and I working our way through all seven TNG seasons. If you don't know what any other those abbreviations mean, then you aren't as geeky as I am.
Ten reasons that Star Trek is newly awesome
1. Did you see Spock kiss Uhura?
2. Brand new cool transporter special affects.
3. CGI done right - take note Star Wars!
4. The first ten minutes . . . a birth, death . . . WOW!
5. Eric Bana's over-acting
6. Solving all pesky continuity issues with the alternate universe solution.
7. Young Spock's cool judo throw.
8. No Shatner.
9. Tricked-out Enterprise.
10. Did you see Spock kiss Uhura? Wait, I mean, hot new cast all signed on for two sequels.

Glorious new blog feature
I know it has been a long time since I updated my blog. Nothing happened to me except residency. As I am less than a year from graduating, I just haven't had time. Besides, rather than tell rambling stories about my life, I'm trying a new feature on my blog: Random Thoughts Top Ten. I'll give a little paragraph about why I am doing said topic. Some of this will be medical. Some of this will be pop culture like TV and movies. Some of it will be from my own life i.e. pregnancy. Hopefully this will motivate me to update more regularly.
Today's topic was inspired by a day off from my ER rotation. I have started
rewatching my season 1 and 2 Grey's Anatomy DVDs, now from the resident and future attending
perspective.
Ten Things from Grey's Anatomy that never happened during my internship1. Never made-out (let alone slept with) any other doctor/nurse/tech/patient/desk clerk at the hospital.
2. Never allowed a surgical resident to perform Pediatric Advanced Life Support on any infant - surgeons never attend deliveries.
3. Never performed an unauthorized procedure/autopsy/surgery. Period.
4. Never had the time to meet every day with my friends for private lunch.
5. Never performed a
intubation/procedure without any protective equipment.
6. Never deliberately sabotaged a patients recovery to make them sicker, let alone cutting
LVAD wires.
7. Never used a call room for a conjugal visit, though I showed my husband the call room once with the door open.
8. Never got in a fist fight with a patient or other staff member at work or outside of work.
9. Never felt any of the patients issues were a direct mirror of the problems I was having in my own life.
10. Never restarted a
patient's heart with a paddles or an overly dramatic chest thump after CPR failed.
