Me from the past: Foreign language

Me from junior high school: I need to pick a foreign language. I can do French, German, or Spanish. my maternal grandfather is German. Think I’ll try to learn that.

Me at German camp: wow, that girl is hot. I definitely made the right choice.
Her friends: Btw, she’s a lesbian.
Oh...well, that’s all good...

Me from college: I need to pass this exam to graduate.
ugh, /konjunctiv/ II! ...
I’m going to study abroad in England.

Me in grad school: wow, this woman is hot. She likes me. We should get married. She speaks Russian, but that’s all good.

Me now: my paternal grandfather was Norwegian. why couldn’t junior high school have had that as a choice?!

A Valid Path

Last weekend I completed ripping my Alan Parsons CD collection and started listening to it at work off my portable media player. While listening, I figured I might as well google Alan, maybe there would be some interesting historical stuff on the web. As it turns out, Alan Parsons is still kicking and has a new album out! Even better, he's doing electronica now! I'll be receiving it shortly and will do a review. This will be the first record without his long-time bandmates Ian Bairnson, and Stuart Elliott. The new album will take Alan in a new direction and into the world of electronica. Artists appearing on this record include: Nortec Collective, The Crystal Method, Shpongle, PJ Olsson, and Pink Floyd's David Gilmour.

US death toll in Iraq tops 1,000

Senator Kerry calls this a "tragic milestone," and the most catastrophic of the administration's mistakes made so far. Regardless of his mistakenly voting for the war at the time, he's right. For him to turn against the Iraq war is a flip-flop I would be happy with. Hopefully he has an exit strategy, even though he's not telling us about it at the moment. This is why Bush must be defeated in November. I realize the economy is an important issue, but compared to 1000++ dead soldiers? Come on. Not to mention 7,000++ wounded, and the 11,000++ estimated by the Iraq Body Count . This is a slam dunk, as George Tenet would say. Prediction: if Bush is [re]elected, the U.S. will engage in pre-emptive war against Iran and/or North Korea. Is that really what we want?
