Yet another week has passed without any word from Cacciato. Not really, I didn't know the guy but Tim's still searching. Anyway, I dont have much to say this week, it's spring break (insert obligatory WOOHOO! here) but I have no racy pictures to post, yet. Some problem with the developer and "losing" my role of film, but some vice detective wants to talk to me... I dont know.
I did however hear this song on the radio and I really liked it. Occasionally I stumble across a song, and after cursing loudly and rubbing my toe, I listen to it over and over again. This one is by Linkin Park, who I thought I didn't really like but after sampling the album I discovered I really did.
The song is called "Hands Held High." Be advised there are two "adult" words, well, one used twice, but good song nonetheless.

Let's take a listen...



And there you have it, your, ummm, feel good for friday song. Kinda.

WOOHOO! spring break!

Finally, the sun has decided to show its face. And I say its about time. No longer are we remanded to the winter blues, bitter cold winds, and snow crunching 'neath our feet. Hallelujah.

Although Jack Frost has yet to leave us completely, I think he's got the idea that were sick of the snow. We even had rain to prove it.

I hope that I have not jinxed the weather. Although even weather.com has decided that our outlook has improved.

(insert your own weather haiku here)

And if I hear one more word about our "water year," I'm praying for a drought.

No I am not advocating serious bodily injury. Nay, I ask to be excused from homework due to excessive websurfing. It's amazing how much shtuff is out there. I have recently been researching for a paper on a national health care plan. Unfortunately there's extremists on each side. Everybody has the solid answer as to why we should, or should not, socialize medicine.

How do I feel about it? Dunno. At this time, I have been fortunate enough not to have an excessive need for the health care system. Also, I have benefited from a large enough policy group through my work that premiums have actually been kept low.

In fact, I received a letter from my human resources department stating that, due to lower than expected use of the "benefits," they were going to lower our premiums, until July.

That was somewhat shocking.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Its the Antichrist! Oh, No, Just Michael Moore. The movie Sicko recently came out lambasting our nations healtcare system. However, I don't think it fully investigates all that it needs to. For instance, Moore asks people in a UK waiting room how long they have waited. The majority were there for under an hour. I would like to know how many hospitals per capita they have there. In 2007 they had an estimated population of 60,776,238. (Including supernannies) The United States has a population of 301,139,947. That's nearly five times as many people. Perhaps its only coincidence that we have a five times longer wait in an ER wait'n room then.

Well, at the end of the day, I really know nothing about healthcare. Yet. I'm looking into it and soon, by the end of the semester, I will know the answer.

But while you wait in the ER, you can at least have fun and make a cut puppet. This one is courtesy of Ovalspleen. Check out his flickr site http://www.flickr.com/ovalspleen.
