Dr. Feelgood

This past week was crazy. I pretended to be a film major for a little while and I can see what they're talking about when they whine about scheduling, etc. Getting people together is rough. The weekend was also crazy, but in a good way. Women's Dinner went well and I got to see the parents (and with that came food, money, etc.).

But I was still kind of stressed with all the work I had to do this week. Today my blood sugars rocketed up due to running out of insulin (or as Jon and I call it now, Dr. Feelgood) and I checked myself into the Student Health Center. After a little while I went to fill out a prescription at Wegman's and now I'm back to normal.

Those few hours of just getting better, going to Wegman's and biking in the sun reminded me that sometimes doing nothing in particular is the best thing you can do. Maybe after some of these projects are done I'll schedule in some hammock time.

State Radio

This song is one of my new favorites. A cowboy hat, some ginger beer and this blasting from the car stereo on the way to the beach would be a perfect moment. The song is written for a guy named Manny that the members of State Radio met when volunteering at a camp for the disabled on Martha's Vineyard. Here's the video (go ahead and blast it):

Nader Interview

Back in the fall (I think it was October) Ralph Nader came to Pittsford. I tagged along with Eric and decided I'd try and ask him a couple questions. I succeeded ( http://preview.tinyurl.com/dhhkv3 )but his answers were pretty boring. More interesting to me was a local man named Mr. Rosati, who pulled up in a smart car and talked with his hands a lot. I got a minute or so of audio with him and Eric took some photos. Here's a slideshow:
