A digital reminder: The Fourth Annual Meshpartment Oscarama is tomorrow night at 7 p.m. With my Chanukah festivities on the wane, this is the only official party I host all year. If you live within 50 miles of my house, I think you kind of have a duty to be there. Did I mention that you should bring food?

Ryan, my roommate who left Chattavegas for the bright lights and big scalpels of New York City, has been writing a simply mesmerizing series of posts on the basics of medical practice. I know this doesn't sound very exciting, but this is the first time I've seen the foundations of every clinical pathway explained coherently. Turns out that it all boils down to organ failure. So though you may not be dying of heartbreak, emo kids, you're eventually going to die of something breaking.

Speaking of emo, I've been listening to the new Bright Eyes record -- the acoustic one, I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning -- and to my surprise, it doesn't suck. At all. Reminds me a lot of early Ryan Adams: about the same whine quotient, a little less discussion of bars, a lot more talk of God. Maybe Conor had to reach drinking age to stop annoying me. That's pretty much my feeling on most people, come to think of it.

Bill and I are chopping away at the Pulse Blog, and hope to have up before you can say "hotly contested, dirty-tactics-filled mayoral campaign." We've got some exciting liveblogging news reports planned for early next week, as an official kickoff to the site. You'll love it.
