Thankfully my computer programming class was let out a bit early today. My head was spinning & there was little hope I’d learn anything more, plus this gives me a bit more time between classes, so it’s a win-win.

Last Thursday, while contemplating my internship situation & desire to travel, I sent an email to the special collections library at the American University in Cairo explaining who I was & inquiring about a summer internship. We’ve emailed back & forth a few times & it looks like it could be a possibilty. Again, like with the ICTY position, I need a definite answer so I can apply for funding & I only have about a month left to do that. So we’ll see.

If you’re going to read the Bible, why not read the Lego version? Here’s a verse from Revelation, as illustrated by The Brick Testament:

The one seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested. - Revelation 14:16

Fans of Dwell, Apartment Therapy or other modern living guides should appreciate Unhappy Hipsters. They take the spare, minimalist furnishings and project it onto the thoughts & emotions of the residents in a way that’s sad, but funny.

You can come out when you can properly explain the differences between Modernist architecture and postmodern ornamentation.

His sartorial attempt to blend in with the concrete did little to assuage the tension.

I have to say that I’m completely uninterested in all this talk about the iPad. I can’t believe how worked up people are getting over it & I don’t understand what the big deal is. Don’t like it? Don’t buy it [not that it's at all affordable anyway].

This weekend, my mother-in-law gave me a snuggie that she was given, but didn’t want. Right now, sitting by the giant window in the library, I really wish I had it with me.
