I'm not complaining: I'm ecstatic that my news and politics source (yes it is sad) is back, and I think both Stewart and Colbert are doing a bang up job. Yes, they do sometimes take jokes too far, or too long, but that is excusable. Anyway, props to them!

Colbert had one of my ECONO-IDOLS, Dr. Muhammad Yunus, on the show tonight. Yunus is the ( Read more... )

Yesterday I took a break from studying to go to the mall. Dad and Patti told me that the chances that I will get a Wii for Christmas are pretty slim, so I had to come up with something else that I want that is appropriately priced. I thought perhaps a suit, but I have two and have failed to get an internship next semester, so I really don’t need ( Read more... )

I'm home again; back to the good'ol US of A, and everything seems slightly boring. It is no longer an adventure to go to the grocery store, airport, restaurant, etc...
