Parties, Concerts, Neighbors

The end of anatomy was pretty epic - I got puke on my car (not in) to say the least.

Boy oh boy has it been a fun week, and it's not over yet!

Friday night friends and I watched the new 007 (not as good as the previous one, but still action packed and exciting!)
Then we got pumpkin milk-shakes from Burgerville (kind of the In&Out of Portland, but not nearly as good from what I hear).
- Hotel Cafe Tour 2008 - was awesome. Thao Nguyen and Emily Wells were my favorite that night, and Lenka, Meiko, Rachel Yamagata, and Catherine Feeny.

You should definitely check out the website, even though the tour is ending on Tuesday - www.thehotelcafetour.com

Saturday I got some frisbee, tennis, and sleep in. Followed by poker, food, drink, and partying. Met the neighbors for the first time and boy are they funny. They're undergraduates in Lewis and Clark and Portland State, and this morning when I woke up I saw a "Good Morning" note written to me on her window. I responded with a "Have a Great Day!" sign.

Sunday, the weather is amazing. I soaked in the Mt. Hood view for a good 20 minutes when I woke up this morning. The rest of the day will be for work/studying and climbing. Blind Pilot and Nick Jaina concert tonight!

NOV. 4th, 2008. A DAY IN HISTORY!

Today has been a great day.

It started off sort of slow, but escalated to greatness.

After Spanish class, we watched both candidates speeches (woo Obama!), and then proceeded to downtown to join the rally!

We luckily found a drum circle group who was walking up and down Broadway and joined them with our pots and pans, contributing to the music. After watching 10 or so blocks, we ended up at Pioneer Courthouse Square and my friends and I became the center of the party (after the drum circle left)!! I wish I had photos. I started a conga line, a jump, pot banging, etc. We got the crowd riled up!!! It was pretty darn amazing, and I was able to celebrate with some awesome friends. I can't imagine this sort of event happening anywhere else, but I'm sure it's happening everywhere in the USA!

Saturday Night at the ER

I'm on my way home from an IAMA meeting (Indo-American Medical Association) and I get a call informing me that my good friend CD is stuck in the ER because of severe pain.

Man, what a bummer.

So the JAM house decides to bring the party to the ER! We brought a DVD player and Be Kind, Rewind, and some snacks to keep him entertained. I felt horrible though, because he looked miserable and it's tough to see CD miserable because it's just not natural - It's like seeing bears drinking tea out of teacups with their pinky's raised.

My favorites at OHSU!
