BIG OL' FAT RAIN

Day 3 of a forecasted 10-day-long rainstorm.  Here's a few things that Carmen did to help stave off SAD this Tuesday: breakfasting on a bowl of Frosties, attending his 3-hour long Money & Banking class, taking a dreamless nap on freshly laundered sheets, rereading the first 100 pages of INFINITE JEST, folding clothes, pondering on whether to attend Bob Dylan in Florence for the prescribed $200 price tag, trying to figure out Bonaroo schedules that justify his driving to Tennessee this summer, and eating another super awesome dinner.  The dinners on-campus are impossibly good, especially food-wise.  Carmen also made a list of his ten favorite songs of all time and rode a stationary bike to the created list that is subject to vast changes as time eases by but is shown below anyways.

1. Wake Up by Arcade Fire
2. Do You Realize by The Flaming Lips

6. Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd
7. Staralfur by Sigur Ros
8. Steam Engine by My Morning Jacket

sometimes, rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath
