President Hu, of China is here today. It's getting pretty ridiculous. I just thought I'd share an email my freshman counselor sent out this morning.

So I just experienced one of the greatest things ever... The YSO (Yale Symphonic Orchestra)'s Halloween Show. They basically make a silent movie and the orchestra plays the soundtrack for it in Woolsey Hall. It's really sweet. Like TSO, for those cool cats who know.

So today was my favorite day at the deli... beating out the time when a lady came in and was telling us about how the school in Cambria was small, but she'd heard that the dentist's daughter was going to West Point and she'd heard one of the kids that graduated this year was going to Yale even. I told her, "Yah, but he's kind of a loser ( Read more... )

I think I want to get a tattoo...

I've had this strange thought pestering me today... It seems as though we aren't quite celebrating our nation's birthday properly... Naturally, we spend it doing things we consider very "American"--wearing red, white and blue (How many bajillion other nations have red, white and blue for their colors also?), eating barbeque, for some, getting ( Read more... )
