scones
Is it right to eat a tasty blueberry scone from Argo Tea still sweating from busting ass at the gym?

sweet yellow relief
I think I'm done with the supplemental application for grad school. It's only appropriate that I have "Waiting" by Greenday playing on iTunes. Ahhhhhhhh!
Turd Table
Check this out...I took this in the bathroom at the Argo Tea on Broadway and Briar. The "Sturdy Station 2" is now the "Turd Station 2. The black Sharpie marker IS a magic wand!
I heart my 2.0 mega pixel camera on my cellphone!

Now a researcher in Japan believes she can explain the disconnect, which has long perplexed American tourists in China. Fortune cookies, Yasuko Nakamachi says, are almost certainly originally from Japan.

Iowa Caucus
I caucused in Iowa on Thursday. Actually, I was an "observer" for the town of Underwood, Iowa with the Ryan's. What a sight. A room full of caucasians at a caucus with shrimp cocktail. I really enjoyed watching how this worked. A room with political sides, tables plastered with Obama, Hillary, Bill Richardson, Dodd, and Edwards banners, and blatant supporters. No signs of Biden. When the officiator announces that it's time count the number of supporters per group, there are clear boundaries between tables. Each sat down or lowered his/her hand as the group "leader" counted their presence. To be "viable," your candidate has to have 15% of the total participants. Bill Richardson wasn't viable and so joined Obama's side. I really loved how the locals tried to sway the undecided...from "hey, we have shrimp" to "i'll mow your lawn."
New Years Day 2008
This is what it looks like from the inside of a car in Chicago. Covered in inches of snow. I wanted a shovel for Christmas and didn't get it. This is before the sun went down and dropped to 5 degrees.
