I just had the BEST weekend.

But first, last Tuesday, I thoroughly devoured the newest Cabal novel The Brothers Cabal. I won't go into a full-blown review because I really wanna get to documenting my weekend, but I'll just give this preliminary synopsis: it was AMAZING. Quite possibly the best of the series. Definitely the most witty and well- ( Read more... )

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!

The date for the release of the 4th Cabal novel has been set! September 30!!! SO FAR AWAY!!!! ARGH!!!

I started rereading the third novel and I think I'll give the Katya series a try after. But, dammit, that summary! The cover! I'm overwhelmed! And HORST!!!

OMG. Still so incoherent.

Family medicine still persists in being a ( Read more... )

There's nothing quite like reading tweets from one's favorite authors that indicate that they're actively in the process of writing the next installment featuring amazing characters. Yesterday I read Mr Lynch's delightful series of tweets:

We had our powderpuff game against the MSIs yesterday, so hopefully this will be the last time I use this tag. It was a complete shutout: we beat them 41 to 14. In spite of practicing the short-pass to me, we never used it, so I got to amuse myself by bouncing the first-years around (quite literally). It was pretty hilarious. They had two bigger ( Read more... )

For the first time in...2 years?...I'm up to speed with the One Piece world. Of course, it took all evening when I should have gone for a run and studied renal stuff but I feel like it was very well worth my time.

I rediscovered that when Oda does deign to indulge in a cliche, it's so well-done, original, and fresh that using the word "cliche" to ( Read more... )

I spent a good two hours reading The Strange Affair of the Spring-Heeled Jack. It's pretty much crap. However, I did persevere. Until the phrase, "pale green orbs" was used to describe a character's eyes. I didn't think real, published authors were allowed to use such cliched, florid, purple writing. I mean, even fanfic authors know better.

It was ( Read more... )

Hell Week is over. Thankfully, I made an A on the physiology exam, which secured my A for the class. This is great, because if I had relied on the Shelf Exam to raise my grade, I would have been disappointed. It's funny: 4 modules of physiology and in that cumulative, national exam, I didn't know anything. I feel like I'm in remedial med school ( Read more... )

Before I get all emotional and soul-revealing, I have discovered a fun little correlation. Johannes Cabal. Jonathan Creek. Conclusion? JC is the best set of initials ever.

I just cannot fit in here. And I have no idea why. It's like each person here falls to an extreme that I'm not willing to put up with. Arrogance is the most obvious one. Then you ( Read more... )

Exam week starts today. I have my first exam in microbiology in about 2.5 hours.

So, of course I spent all yesterday studying my brain out. Right?

Ha. No.

I was lead down the path of temptation when I checked my mail to find that my copy of Johannes Cabal: The Fear Institute had arrived two weeks early. (I was really counting for it to come in ( Read more... )

I got a new laptop! If I knew anything about computers, I would rave about how awesome it is. As it is, all I know is that it turns on (which is more than I can say about my old computer) and that it gets internet.

I also just sent a terribly pathetic email to JLH asking if I could perhaps get an advance copy of the newest Cabal novel.

I ( Read more... )
