5. All those mini shampoo bottles at motels.
4. Growing a beard. Not bothering to shave was a nice form of apathy. Plus, I felt all manly.
3. In-N-Out Burger and burritos. The American West has some good, quick, cheap food that the American East does not. On the other hand, getting a good slice of pizza or a decent cheesesteak could be a herculean task, so it was ultimately an unequal trade-off.
2. Survival as the only expectation. I used to want a pegleg, because in the face of such a handicap all that society demands of us is to simply survive -- getting through the day becomes its own achievement, and all the expectations for success and adulation etc etc become moot. Being on the lam is kind of like having a pegleg in that way.
1. Spending all day, every day with Dr. S. Although at numerous points we were about ready to strangle one another, it was still nice to have her around. As great as it is that she has a fulfilling job and a steady paycheck and all that these days, I am selfish. Also, did you know that she can't even answer her phone from the OR? Hmph. It was never a problem for me to interrupt an autopsy or two, but apparently that doesn't fly these days (or so I've been told... numerous times).
In other news: Georgetown lost to Ohio? WTF? This whole first round has been full of some pretty monumental cratering so far. My bracket looks like crap right now.
