Turns out that today there was a lot of good stuff in the American news. For the past few weeks all there has mainly been is crap about Alito (yes, he will get the vote, mainly because the party that likes him has the majority and these are the same people who like Cheney so there is no way that they'd ever see Alito as "bad"), Republicans coming ( Read more... )

Zach and I got into a big argument today regarding some guy that Zach read who came up with the idea that not only won't we run out of oil, but it's actually economically impossible for us to do so. He basically only looked at America and then went on to state that all people will react rationally to a problem or situation. Furthermore, he states ( Read more... )

There has been a serious lack of good movies this year. There have been a lot of ones that seemed like they could be good and wound up being only decent at best. I’m saying all this having not seen Good Night and Good Luck, Crash, the Ice Harvest, Syriana, Munich, the Constant Gardener, North Country, Walk the Line, Serenity, and a few others.

From December 20th to December 29th, Jan and I took a vacation to Vancouver. Here's my travel journal ( Read more... )

I finished another quarter of school. Yesterday I turned in my last two finals. Everything went well and I'm sure I did well. I'm hoping for all aces this quarter, but we'll see. I had one semi-stressful week and even that wasn't too bad. I think the difference was that this quarter, I've been working on all my finals since midterms or around ( Read more... )

"A life-size bronze statue of Bruce Lee erected in the Bosnian city Mostar was vandalized only hours after being unveiled on Saturday. The life-size figure - which captures Lee in a defensive stance armed with nunchuks - was erected as both a symbolic protest against ethnic division and to mark what would have been the martial arts hero's 65th ( Read more... )

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Jan's place for dinner. This is nothing new since I've done this for the past few years. This year though, everyone got sick. Half of the people who were supposed to show up at Jan's place got sick and cancelled. Even Jan, myself, and her mother were all sick prior to even arriving at her house for ( Read more... )

Halloween has come and gone. My costume this year was Awesom-O. Basically I had the idea and built 10% of it while Jan built most of it (due to this week being midterms and I had my sculpt and walk cycle to turn in; both taking lots of time). The costume looked awesome. It was just the right amount of style and ghetto to truly be a good Awesom- ( Read more... )

Apparently Mr. Sulu (also known as George Takei) is gay. Good for him! Although it took him an awful long time to admit it. Well, better late than never. Anyway, to answer your questions, yes, this changes absolutely nothing for anyone who isn't George Takei.

This year the White Sox won the World Series. Good for them since I hate the Astros. Last year it was the Red Sox and this year it was the White Sox. Too bad there aren't any more Sox teams or else I would know where to put my money for next year. However, this World Series sucked and was even more boring than last year's Super Bowl. I have no ( Read more... )
