Poo, Clandestine Affairs, Flat-hunting, and Redheads

Ok, so really not that much to report. While everyone is gearing up for the impending 5-year reunion (getting haircuts, buying cellulite cream, waxing facial hair- you know who you are) - can it really be 5 years?????? - I am sadly squating in the corner of a patient's room with one of the surgical trainee (who is having a hush-hush affair with another one of the surgical trainees, though anyone with eyes can see that they are banging like rabbits in the storage cupboard when no one is looking, but that's another story - yes, life really is a cross between ER and Scrubs). Anyway, the two surgeons who are having a secret affair, and yes they are both good looking late-20-somethings, so if you want to picture it go ahead, they have just readmitted this elderly guy who for the 4th time this month has twisted his bowel into a loop and has accumulated massive amounts of wind and gloopy shite in his abdomen. So this guy is panting and trying to climb out of bed and the surgeons stick a rigid sigmoidoscope (think 2 foot dildo with light on the end) into his rectum to try and release the 'trapped flatus' as they like to refer to it - so out comes this whoosh of gas, followed swiftly by copious quantities of noxious runny crap, which splatters all over the scrubs of the male surgeon and the tights of the female. Then they stuck a hollow tube up his ass via the sigmoidoscope and massaged his belly so more would come out and then they attached it to a bag and left the nurse to deal with it. In their defense they did mop up all the shit that had cascaded onto the floor and ricocheted onto the wall behind them. It was so beautiful, and a really good reason to be a physician not a surgeon. But they reckon they're going to take the guy's colon out later this week so he won't get this problem anymore! Lucky him! So that was my afternoon. Even though I was 5 feet from the action, I really wanted to go home and have a scalding shower to clean myself.

On a more hygienic note (but not much) - I went to Rufus Wainwright concert last night and it was phenomenal! During the encore they all stripped and he had on a sparkly blue thong and then he put on a tiara and red stilettos and Miss Glasgow sash, and then they all put on witch hats and capes for the next song and then for the last 2 they all had on bathrobes - it was spectacuar, I highly recommend seeing him if you can! I think I'm in love with him, it's a shame about the whole gay thing, drat!

Also, went to a concert on Wednesday evening at this cool Belgian bar on this little cobblestone lane (Ashton Lane) that we have here in the west end of Glasgow (highly pretentious bars and restaurants). They are called The Cellers and they are friends with this guy I know Stuart. They are very good in a sort of Ryan Adams way. I've seen them 3 times now and I still dance like a crazy-head around my tiny wee bedroom when i listen to them so worth checking them out if you get a chance, they only have an EP out I think, but it's super good! And Brian the lead singer is very enthusiastic - when he sings you think his eyes are going to pop out of his head!

I am buying a flat -well, when I sat 'I' I really mean my parents are buying a flat in Glasgow, or more correctly - my Dad's lending me the downpayment, Mom's paying the mortgage for the 1st year, and then I will take it over once I start my job in August 2006!!!! Anyway, I have my first viewing on Thursday and I'm so excited about the prospect that I will have my own place! So I have to get a solicitor and then shop for a mortgage and that'll be me sorted!

So that's all my news, but I would like you to tell me your personal feelings on redheads...there may be a certain someone I have my eye on and I as wondering if it was a no-go zone. I'm beginning to think I have a bit of a ginger fetish...first JHL, then Stu, now this new guy (who shall remain nameless) and I can't help but wonder if it's just because when you're single during spring fever you can't help but want to jump on every man you see! So any views you may hold on carrot tops would be much appreciated! Cheers M'Dears XXX
