“they have been cursed by one thing or another… desperately poor.”
a pact with the devil did that? i was under the impression that their poverty was a result of oppression, devalued resources and inability to flourish in a global economy so clearly designed for developed nations?
huh.
i mean really. is this what christianity is about these days?

i realize that i’m very much late to this game, but i figured, if i’m truly going to attempt to do something for an entire year, i may as well put some thought into it.
maybe these should be a bit, i dunno… deeper, then? but i’m keeping it fairly simply for 2010.
i resolve to:
try a new recipe each week; read a new book once a month [if i feel the need to re-read, i...

Are the Senate and House abortion compromises... →
“I think states should leave the abortion question up to the counties. Then I think counties should leave the abortion question up to municipalities. Then the neighborhoods should leave the abortion question up to each block. And each block, as you might have guessed, should leave the abortion question up to each household.”

jinx, as you may know, is (maybe) a tibetan terrier. i will get her a friend as soon as i have the dough.
what i miss about athens
i used to geek out when it was time to once again choose courses for the quarter. i just had the urge to look at OU’s online catalog and pick out some classes.
i’m so glad i never took things too seriously and allowed myself to choose some interesting, non-major classes. i’d be seriously pissed now had i spent four years with those losers in scripps. no offense, guys.

2. make a BA fall mix before i find myself saying “oh, shit, where did fall go?” (like every other season this year, thus far);
