You're in touch with the world, and you have a very
strong opinion on things like politics and war.
Even if you do end up changing your image in
the future, most of us will still like you.

Makes me want to go work for an international relief agency. Or maybe just not spend $3 on Starbucks (oh, wait, Nick bought me Starbucks this morning).

I'm not so grumpy today. Yeah!

Sad Astros lost. Happy I can cheer for the Red Sox now!

This weekend: Tonight - NADA. Tomorrow - Work (Soyuz landing). Sunday - Astroworld (Jen got free tickets from a co-worker).


Yeah for the girl that shaved off her hair to protest stupid French laws. Boo for the French that allow chaplains in schools but not "Islamic veil (head scarf, bandanna, beret), a Jewish skullcap, a large Christian cross and a Sikh turban." I think this law just exposes some deeply rooted prejudices in Western Europe against non-Christians. At Cari's urging, I am also adding this comment: in addition to allowing chaplains to remain in the public schools, the French are also allowing students to wear small crosses - just not large ones. The chaplains are required to take off their frock, though, because that also is conspicuous religious attire. Someone I think the chaplains are more dangerous to a secular state that someone dressed as a priest.
