Just a quick observation.

As I punched in the MSNBC url on my browser (I certainly and unequivocally recommend Firefox), I skimmed over the big headline:

"Saddam's Party Welcomed Back in Iraq"

Underneath that, in the related box:

"Bush: 'Hope' Returning to Baghdad"

I didn't think about it at first. I just went along.

"Wait. What?!?" I thought to myself (I may have said it aloud, I was pretty shocked). "Bush regards the return of the Baath party as a sign of hope for Baghdad?" That seemed a bit counterintuitive, to say the least, so I read on.

“For better or for worse, we have become the Facebook generation,” Cornell University student Erica Fink wrote in an article for The Cornell Daily Sun in April. The article was written in response to the way students utilized Facebook after the tragedy at Virginia Polytechnic Institute the day before.

I just woke up. Correction- I just got out of bed. Is it strange that I simply cannot sleep past ten anymore? I mark it as a decidedly grown up thing...this being unable to stay in dreamland. It's weird. I don't like it. I want to be able to sleep until the middle of the afternoon like my friends. Instead, I am forced to kind of wander about my house and wait for them to rouse themselves so that I can have a life. Interesting huh? My life in a nutshell right now is boring. I am bored. There is nothing worth doing in Evanston. Everyone is out of town or going back to school already.
