The Debut

Hello kids! Welcome to my first attempt to enter the blogosphere: P=MD. For those of you not currently in medical school at Sinai right now, "P=MD" is the all too common reminder that upper-classmen tell us first years to help us remember that all we've got to do is pass to survive in this place...that, and probably a diplomatic way for them to tell some of us to just chill out and quit worrying so much. To that effect, the inspiration for this blog came to me. What began as a voracious appetite for tv and film trivia and references, not to mention a literal appetite for delicious food, blossomed into constant status message updates of all manners of interesting links that I found online. As the feedback came rushing back to me and I realized people actually appreciated the nonsense that I so frequently posted, the concept of P=MD was born. As of now, I'll be planning to post and comment upon the latest tv, film, and food news, and to link you, my readers, up to all the fantastic time wasters at my disposal on youtube/hulu/etc. To reflect the lofty aspirations and higher purpose of P=MD, you will notice the banner above of the statues greeting those entering the Vatican in Rome. No irony there right?

So I know what some of you may be thinking, you love cooking, why not a cooking blog? Well...I believe that something worth doing is something worth doing well. And compared to this gem founded by a classmate and friend of mine, it is quite clear to me that that just will not be the case at all. So, with that said, welcome to P=MD, and I hope that I can help waste your time more efficiently.

I will leave you with two clip definitely worth seeing. First, happy Sukkot everybody (with explanation for my non-Jewish friends)!

And second, did you know that the GOP actually thinks that Tina Fey's impersonation of Sarah Palin is destroying her image? Well the GOP must have thought that Palin's appearance on SNL last night may help to salvage her image. Did it? That only time will tell. But was it quality television? You bet.

PS: While we're on the subject, Mark Wahlberg's cameo (in response to this Andy Samberg pearl) is classic. I love how now that Entourage is sucking it up on HBO and his only current movie role is in the video game adaptation of Max Payne (a genre plagued with too many duds to list, but for a taste just check out director Uwe Boll's adaptation ridden resume), this "Executive Producer" is trying to reach out to a new audience. Yeah, good luck with that.
