Sorry about that...
Ok, so for the last week I haven't been able to see the changes I've made to my blog and assumed they weren't being made at all, until I found out otherwise...so that's what those "testing" posts were all about. I guess I'll just go on posting blindly and hoping it's readable.

My much-delayed Star Wars review is coming, as is some extensive excited blathering about my latest big idea, Wholistic Fitness. But right now I just don't feel like it, so sit tight, folks.

Summertime!
Flying home tomorrow, finally. It's been a long, long year.

Today I'm chilling in various bookstores, drinking tea. Could life be better? Clearly not.

New Haven is so nice when you have nothing to do.

The Force is Strong(er) With This One....
According to early reviews, the latest and final Star Wars film is a good movie, improving on and almost redeeming the first two prequels (which weren't all that bad, guys, come on...). Not that you can expect any Oscar-worthy performances or believable dialogue, but apparently the story is told in a genuinely affecting way that ties things together the way it needed to to preserve the integrity of the six films as a true saga rather than a classic trilogy with forgettable appendices. Let's hope. I'm excited.

Yes, I do remember how to do that from 7th grade. Go ahead and laugh. Y'all are just jealous of my Jedi powers.

(-o-)

Look, it's a TIE fighter!...ok now I've lost you all.

Woo Hoo!
I'm Done!

Yay.

A day of cleaning and meeting Jane Goodall (!), then to the woods I go.

Ah, exam week...
According to Diet Snapple's Real Fact #124, seals only sleep for 1.5 minutes at a time.

I think I may be approaching that number myself.

Three down, one big one to go...

Two Down...
My English exam is over, along with my Ceramics presentation! Now I have no more tests and only two papers to go before I'm halfway done with college...now that's a scary thought.

The real world looms on the horizon. I'm so old it's ridiculous.

Oh, and to talk about something important (because it's no fun to just sit and talk about yourself all day, right?), this spot-on article went up yesterday pointing out that Sunday was actually the 2-year anniversary of Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech. That's a laugh.

All We Are Saying...is How Psychic Were We In '03?

If my archaeology presentation hadn't been pushed to Monday, I might have gone to this march, which was advertized at my church.

This is why.

"The blast capped four exceedingly violent days in which at least 116 people, including 11 Americans, were killed in a storm of bombings and ambushes blamed on Iraqi insurgents, believed largely populated by members of the disaffected Sunni Arab minority...The skyrocketing violence since then is viewed by some as a response to political developments that the United States and the Shiite-dominated power structure had hoped would tamp down the bloodshed."

Isn't it frightening when everything you said would happen back when war was being "deliberated" actually happens? I am so sickeningly unsurprised by anything that's happen in Iraq since the beginning of the war. Two years ago I sat in English class, certain that if we attacked Iraq we'd never get out, and we'd cause more damage than the amount needed to topple Saddam. Back then most people thought I was exaggerating. How could she know what's going to happen? Couldn't it just as easily have gone the other way? But it didn't, and that's what matters.

We started this on the pretext of weapons of mass destruction. However early on it was debunked, that seed of fear was planted without which the war never would have gone over with the public. But, accoridng to AP, "the Bush administration has also signalled it has no intention of joining the comprehensive test ban treaty, or signing a verifiable accord ending the production of new fissile material intended for nuclear weapons. Both were pledges it made in 2000."

If nuclear weapons are dangerous enough that we bomb a country that might be thinking about making them, the U.S. should take a look in the mirror and change its attitude about its own WMDs.

Another True Story Too Weird to Make Up

Yes, it is what it looks like. In Pikesville, MD, nine bison escaped from a park and had to be herded into a tennis court by police officers.

Anyone who doesn't find this hilarious has no sense of humor.

April showers
doo doo doo...what to say? finals etc. good green grass and pink flowers. blue drop rain. berkeley sandwiches: prociutto, ricotta, arugula and honey.

...things are going to be just fine
it's quite a nice world sometimes
rain rain rain then sun sun shine
tiny little skyborn rhymes...

May is coming in four minutes.
The cruelest month has passed.
