auto boulot dodo - left coast

so much craziness. first *crazy* thing - i talked to ben gibbard on the phone. it's one of those bizarre situations that I really had no idea how to deal with - i really had a strong urge not to but when would i ever get another chance quite like that so i did the best i could. i think i didn't seem that retarded and i'm sure at least my brother said nice things about me. but how crazy is that - i'm so curious about my brother's experience. I was so riled up afterwards, thinking of things i could have said etc. that I cleaned my room which was badly needed because my mom is coming Friday! Agh!

my roommate is moving to NYC soon. this is good motivation to accelerate my moving plans. i'm really not sure what i'm going to do but the prospect of moving/more upheaval and change is daunting

then liz + boys came over and were hilarious. i felt kind of bad when they called my brother at 3 in the morning his time but then again what are younger brother's for - it's one of your rights as an older sister to obnoxiously have your friends call drunk at all hours of the night. even though he is older than both alex and dan heh. i was very amused.

i also managed to read a good chunk of the book i ordered about health care. i'll have to delve into the technical material on the guy's website. the author seems very remarkably sensible for a harvard prof. the writing is very clear, concise and straightforward as well which i find impressive. i was pleased with his discussion of incentives and the role they play in the type and amount of health care that is delivered as well as the cost and quality.
