One of the other dentists that works here rocked a side pony tail today. It was awesome.
One of my favorite things about Barrow is the pace of the day. while things usually get pretty busy during the day seeing patients, life moves at a pretty slow pace here. No one is in a hurry to do anything. It is not unusual to stop and chat with someone for 30 minutes. It seems like no one has 30 minutes just to chit chat many other places. During my lunch today, I chatted with the maintenance man about his theory on water puddles (I will not even being to describe it because it is absolutely ridiculous, but we just sat and chatted about it anyway.) I love this pace of life. I feel like we could all add 15 years onto our lifespan if we led a more slow paced, relaxed lifestyle. People don't have cell phones and very few people use computers. "Going out" means walking on the beach, driving around town, or going to the only store in town to loiter.
There is only one radio station here....KBRW Barrow. It is the most random mix of radio ever. They change it up every couple of hours from NPR to country to rap. My friend Ashley who is coming up here to do the same externship in June will love this radio station. This morning at 9am they were playing "Ghetto Cowboy." Unfortunately, the 10am-11am slot was a tribute to Avril's horribly annoying song "Girlfriend." But, lucky for me, there was a 1 hour Rod Stewart hour that really got me through the afternoon. (side note: going to the Rod Steward concert is still one of the best dates of my life...i won't say who took me on that date because jimbo would be really embarrassed he went to a rod stewart concert!). The DJ of the radio station is a really cool guy asked if I want to be interviewed on the radio......I'm still thinking about it. Maybe I could provide Barrow with the celebrity gossip it is lacking? or I could do a little stand up? or I could sing? But I think it is safer for Barrow if I simply decline the invitation.

OMG you have to do the interview! I mean you have a blog that has multiple people reading about your life daily so you are already a quasi celebrity. Let me know if you want some celeb gossip ammo from Perez to fill the people of Barrow in.
You must get interviewed!! This is your moment to shine...and the opportunity for a whole town to literally die laughing. Do a stand up routine-- but no racist jokes about eskimos. touchy subject.
i am also OBSESSED with whoever wore the side pony!!! Since I was sick today and had nothing to do, I crimped my hair.
