I can't seem to concentrate lately. I was really, really, good at not procrastinating when I was working on my papers a couple of weeks ago. But in the two weeks since then, all discipline has flown out the window. It's as if I've lost any sort of attention span. NOT GOOD.

So, in the spirit of procrastination, let me stall for just a little bit ( Read more... )

I found this quote highly entertaining on Tuesday night's Colbert Report:

Don't think you're off the hook voters, you're the ones who made this bed and now you're the ones who'll have to move so a gay couple can sleep in it.  Tomorrow you're all going to wake up in a brave new world, a world where the constitution gets trampled by an army of ( Read more... )

Allen has officially admitted defeat in VA!  Woot!

This entry will be of particular interest to SF and those privy to the SF and FA activities in PA.

If I remember correctly, I wrote about Guy Fawkes Night/Bonfire Night last year.  Basically it's an excuse to light fireworks, have bonfires and burn little voodoo-like dolls of Guy Fawkes.  Apparently, this guy was a bit over excited about Bonfire ( Read more... )

One of my professors has asked me to decide on a topic for my paper for my Research Methods B seminar next semester by the end of the month. So out of curiosity, I decided to look up information on the rest of my classes. Apparently, I have four papers due on April 20, 2006. All together, the papers will easily total over 20,000 words. That's ( Read more... )

Well, I must say I'm quite happy with the elections. We've got control of the House. We've got the first female speaker of the House. We've got the first Muslim Congressman. Deval won the MA Governorship. Not to mention, he's the first black governor in MA and only the second in the country (ever). My leading lady Hillary was re-elected. And ( Read more... )

Dave is coming to Europe! This totally makes up for the fact that I missed DMB at Fenway due to the Japan-bomb. I'm definitely going to the Glasgow show. He's playing in Paris. I'm totally thinking that Dave is a fucking fantastic reason to finally get myself to Paris. I'd better make some Dave fans fast!

I just downloaded Polish Christmas carols and some Bing Crosby Christmas carols. As an American, it feels way too early for Christmas, but the Brits are starting to go full swing into Christmas already. (Starbucks started serving their Eggnog Latte and Gingerbread Lattes today ( Read more... )

According to *cough* Republican John Spencer, Hillary Rodham Clinton's challenger for a seat in the Senate, Hillary is a lesbian. Or at least that's what he said in an interview with a Westchester newspaper this past week. (If only! If Hillary came out, I could guarantee a fight between D, Lauren and I. We all love Hillary ( Read more... )

I'm having a few (new) issues with the U.S. these days (as if that's anything new!).  Sometimes I feel that as I sit here, across the ocean, thousands of miles away, the U.S. is falling further and further into shame and corruption.  Perhaps it's the light that the U.K. sheds on the situation, but I do read the NY Times pretty much everyday, so I ( Read more... )
