Cleaned up my bio a bit more and added some stories. Eventually I will have to write up some of the good Quiz Bowl memories
Making enemies
It is said that you can only make enemies by talking politics and religion. I want to teach AP American Government. I'm going to be making a lot of enemies.
Project report
Thirty pages in Vietnamese from Dad. Now comes the tough part of translation.

Doctor agreed to reduce dosage in half. Yay!
Convos of the day

[Kat calls D2 back]
D2: Hello.
Kat: Hey!
D2: Hello?
Kat: Hey it's Kat!
D2: Hellllllooooooo?
Kat: Can year hear me...
D2: Oh, hey, if you've just heard three "hello's" then D2 is currently available...or he just doesn't want answer your phone call. You know what to do after the tone, right? Alright.
[beep]
Kat: You have an evil voicemail message.
Kat: A lot of people get nervous about getting into the education program here.
D2: Arkansas and Oklahoma just want teachers, period. How awkward.
Kat: There you go again. You're using awkward wrong.
D2: No I'm not.
[Kat defines awkward from a dictionary]
D2: How awkward.
Maph: A part of you dies in Iraq, another part of you wakes up.
D2: Whoa, that's profound stuff, samurai Maph.
Maph: Man, it sucks here. They're paying us to die.
D2: I thought they were paying you to protect America's interest.
Maph: Dude, we do "patrols" where we're just asking to get shot. And we can't do anything until the bomb is about to explode next to us. Freaking strict ROE, man.
D2: Sounds tough.
Maph: I'm getting those bastards back for taking my first sergeant and friend.
D2: What happened?
Maph: One was killed in a VBIED, the other in an IED.
D2: VBIED, and IED?
Maph: Vehicle Born Improvised Explosive Device and Improvised Explosive Device.
D2: Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.

Sports Report
Sidney Crosby may be a phenom, but he can't save the Penguins by himself. Or hockey, for that matter.
Movie Watch
I should be able to go see Syriana this Thursday with lucky Andy.
A question on politics
Apparently, not very many social conservative but economic liberal people voted for Bush in the last election. Then again, a lot of people tell me that there are not very many people who are socially conservative but ecomically liberal in the first place.
Am I really that unusual?
