I had a lovely boring weekend. I took afternoon naps. I mowed the lawn (yuck). I watched it rain. I ate well. My new table (from my grandparents) came yesterday night -- for some reason completely and totally unlike how I remembered it (but I still like it and really appreciate it). I (and Sarah, Gavin and Jen) bough plane tickets to Peru.

Last night I started mentoring my team of high school aerospace scholars, which I'll be doing every morning this week.

I saw Farenheit 9/11 on Friday. My opinion in brief: I didn't hear any arguments I hadn't heard before. Some I agree with (we created the Taliban problem by our over-eagerness to push the Soviets out of Afghanistan, our President isn't exactly a rocket scientist, we invaded into Iraq prematurely or unnecessarily, etc.) Some I don't agree with (I think enlisting is opens incredible doors for low-income, less educated people, including providing money for college and free job training, merely shaking hands with visiting Arab dignitaries is not a conflict of interest, etc.) Some I am on the fence about (hidden motives about a trans-Afghanistan oil pipeline, scheming between the Bush's and bin Ladin's).

I was very entertained by the music selection during the video montages. I was shocked/dismayed at the number of people who walked out of the movie saying "I never knew that" like they were living in hole and/or took the op-ed parts of the film as absolute truth.
