I was surfing the web (as I am apt to do) and I came across this article: "Should we regulate French fries like cigarettes?" http://www.slate.com/id/2139941/nav/tap1/?GT1=8019

Specifically, this caught my eye:
"Targeting kids is a familiar way to impose morals without threatening liberties. You can have a beer or an abortion, but your daughter can't ( Read more... )

I'm in a terrific mood. Much better than I've been in in a while. The improv show is coming up this Friday and I think (with a few adjustments) that it will be a great show. The musical rehearsals are going well. And in spite of my lack of signing ability, I'm excited about it.

Well, its class. I'd write more but I'm out of time.

"So, naturalists observe, a flea
Has smaller fleas that on him prey;
And these have smaller still to bite ’em;
And so proceed ad infinitum."

Friday, what a day ( Read more... )

Today's been cool. Classes, as per usual, were uneventful. But now, I'm waiting in the Sirrine Computer Lab before I to the Seminar staring this guy Lazear. I don't know what he's all about, other than that he's real smart and stuff. I hope that he talks about something I find interesting. I get the feeling he might just talk about labor and ( Read more... )

Wow, what a weekend. I'm not even going to talk about it was so crazy. Sometimes crazy-good, sometimes crazy-bad. Wow.

Anyway. Exciting day, gave a test, took a class, worked out, washed some pants, cooked red beans and rice, went to a swing dance, and in a second, I'm off to Nick's to celebrate my roommate Eric's birthday.

Some Lyrics brought to ( Read more... )

There is to be a cast party on Saturday. The theme is who do you secretly want to be. I thought I might do Peter Sellers, but I'm not sure how I would dress up as him. So, now I'm thinking George Price. Maybe, maybe not. He's a bit obscure. We'll see, tomorrow I guess.

Wait, I know! Hamlet! That's exactly it!

1) During an hour long meeting with my professor, I was told that if I can't do the Solow model I should get out of the program. I cannot, as of yet, do the Solow model ( Read more... )

Wow, let me say I am impressed with Wikipedia. I was skeptical at first, but it really helped me out. I'm doing a paper for my Growth and Development class about fertility decisions and income inequality. I was about to give up on finding the data I needed on childless women, but then, Wikipedia had a link to the Census Beaurau's website which had ( Read more... )

Can't sleep again. Probably because I took a nap this afternoon. Certainly, there are other things keeping me awake. So I figure, might as well post. I might get a snack. Is that a bad idea? No one will be able to answer me before I do, so it is odd to ask. I'm going to get me some gram crackers. Mmmmm, gram-y. If only I had some milk. ( Read more... )
