In bed.

Around.

Birmingham.
I don't like Birmingham.

Class was canceled this evening.

I mean lunch.

OK, bed.

Making dinner.

Doing stuff not at my computer.
Good for me.

I have this strange urge to go on a road trip.

Made money this morning.

Breakfast, shower, then off to the FCB concert.

Kicking the computer habit by reading Shakespeare or something sweet like that.

Nothing says Saturday night like good old Mac 'n' Cheese.

I found my passport.

Corporate America needs to institute late-start Thursdays.

I found my passport.

Looking for my passport.

At work bonding with my iPod.

My parents are downstairs watching the baseball game.
Silly adults.

Downstairs having dinner.

Being healthy.

Work, of course.

I am presently being amused by the fact that, "who you were---are" rhymes with "pop-u-lur---lar".

Sukkah wood.

Work.

Going to sleep mad early tonight.

Dining downstairs.

Bat mitzvah at Adat Shalom this morning, then going to East Lansing for an AES thing.

I don't know....

Ponderin'....

I have three extra tickets to the Motor City Blues & Boogie Woogie festival for Saturday night. Anyone want to come?

Last day of the bloody fund drive.

Work....

El awesome-o.

Penultimate day.

Yesterday was Tuesday. Tomorrow will be Thursday. Weird.

Getting almost enough sleep, maybe.

I couldn't use a new iPod even if I wanted to: my computer is too old to have USB2. I guess the iPod will have to wait till I get a new computer.

Getting almost enough sleep, maybe.

When the ship runs out of ocean
And the vessel runs aground
Land's where we know the boat is found

Wow, people go to sleep really late.

My iTunes library contains 3891 songs.
Sadly, my iPod only holds 2444 of them.

The days go by slowly; the weeks quickly. The months quicker still.

Work.

My mom is watching baseball.
I'm going to sleep.

Taking down the sukkah.

Thinking about going to the first half of the NF homecoming game tonight.

I really need to go to sleep early tonight.

I should really put together a winter wardrobe.

Breakfast.

Sleeping.

I love my iPod.
I love NPR.

I'm at work.

Going to bed.
Easier than going to sleep.

Reading.

Dinner, reading, etc.

Practice...on the mat.

Crazy...and planning my escape!

Sleep.

Confused about, well, everything.
"I made futures, but not nows...."

Rant continues to be available in the away message blog.

Rant continues to be available in the away message blog.

A bit of a rant:

For all the talk about preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and protecting "the homeland", this administration (and congress---hint, hint: vote!) has done an incredibly poor job.

How many years ago now was it that the "Axis of Evil" was named: Iraq, Iran, North Korea. Anyone in their right mind would have approached the problem thus: first, prioritize these countries by the danger that they pose, then develop a plan to deal with them in order from most to least dangerous, and finally implement said plan.

So, step 1.
-Iraq: may or may not have WMD; may or may not even have a WMD program; may or may not have ties to terrorism
-Iran: definitely has a uranium enrichment program; definitely funds and arms Hezbollah
-North Korea: advanced nuclear program with enough plutonium for 6-10 nuclear bombs; now, they've conducted a successful nuclear test.

So, with this information at hand, how would you rank the threat posed by each of these countries? Seems pretty obvious to me that Iraq would not go at the top of the list.

Then there's step 2, planning to deal with them:
Planning. Once a target was chosen (for reasons other than what most of us would call "facts" and "reality"), a plan needed to have been draw up to not only accomplish a short-term goal, but a longer-term goal of a stable government that would not, as a recently-leaked National Intelligence Estimate has suggested, turn Iraq into a recruiting tool for terrorist organizations both because of its instability and the increased animosity toward the United States that it breeds.

As for step 3, some sort of plan was indeed put into action. Look where it's gotten us: a nuclear North Korea, a uranium-encriching, Hezbollah-sponsoring Iran, and a mess in Iraq in which nearly 3000 US soldiers have been killed, approximately 100 civilians are killed every day by sectarian violence, and nobody is willing to do anything about it.

That's all I got.

Stay tuned after 5pm for a rant.

Till then, I'm at work.

I think I'll be sleeping inside tonight.

Soooka

Finally changing the turtle's water.

Really tired....

The now-famous (sorry, article isn't up on JN's website yet) Liebman sukkah is partially decorated.

At work, of course.

Phase I was all it took this year.

Sleeping.

Sukkah building: phase I

At work. Again.

T-storms are farther north, so I guess I'll go to sleep.

Giving the evening shower thing a try.

Dining. Because I can eat. Hurray.

Work.

Well that was quite the fast.

Taking care of stuff around the house.

A secret mission, of sorts.
