an intern's guide to the galaxy

So Bush has won. Another 4 years of Howard being Bush's little puppet.

Our prayers have been answered. It's been raining regularly for the past few weeks. But that does not mean the rain has been falling into the right places. Dudes, we need a new dam.

The state government is a freakkin disaster. I was astonished at what the transport minister said today... that we need to lower our expectations with the current train service. OMG. On Monday, 0% of peak hour trains arrived on time. You read correctly. Zero percent. And on Tuesday (Melbourne Cup day), 50 train drivers called in sick. The transport minister said that by the time we get another new timetable (in 10 months time), the trains will all run on time. We just got a new timetable like, 2 months ago. I don't get it. What the hell is wrong with the whole transport system?! It's totally embarassing. If you want to encourage people to use public transport in order to reduce pollution levels and ease traffic congestion, you really ought to do something about the damn trains.

::heart:: Tonight on ER (US & Canada): Neela (Parminder Nagra) returns to the ER after working at the Convenient Store near the hospital. On Neela's first day, Pratt (Mekhi Phifer) expects the interns, Abby (Maura Tierney), Ray (Shane West) and Neela to take on a large patient load during their shifts at the hospital. Pratt turns processing the patients into a competition, in which Ray is clearly going to be the winner. In the rush to process the patients and stay in the lead, however, Ray makes a big mistake donating a patient's organs against the family's wishes. Ray helps Abby obtain HIV medication from the pharmacy against hospital policy for a patient that had unprotected sex. Carter (Noah Wyle) asks Wendall (Madchen Amick) to walk out with him in a coy pursuit.
