What do you think?!

ABC is remaking V for primetime tv. Brilliant!

What is with the HIDEOUS red and blue felt on the set of the presidential debate?

I'm in the student center watching the debate. Poor McCain looks like a broken, broken man. It's really sad. I hope he doesn't get any pity votes.

On the bright side, Obama looks GREAT in comparison.

Though both Obama and McCain have unusually unfortunate makeup and hair tonight.

I am officially sick of Obama's and McCain's talking points. Answer the damned questions, fools. I wish that the crowd were allowed to heckle and cheer. I think we would all get a lot more out of it if the little wiggly screen lines from the Ohio focus group were vocal.

Everyone here makes fun of the Ohio focus groups. Cringe. Couldn't you get in there, Ben, and raise the beauty/eloquence level a little bit?

Why doesn't Tom cut them off from going over the time limit? This is ridiculous!

Words that I hate: Bush, Main street, cronyism, pork barrel spending, maverick, taxes,

Hilarious when John McCain told the young black man in the audience, "You have probably never heard of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac until recently..."
Insulting! Hope he hasn't ever taken out any loans!

My schedule allows me to read the newspaper every morning. I love it.

I'm going to take the test Friday afternoon with Jeanne. I am ridiculously prepared for this test, so I don't think there will be any negative consequences for taking a day off in the middle of the week. Also, the only temple here is super-reform, which is not that great overall, but they encourage me to go to services there. I am going to start taking Monday night classes at the end of the month to learn Hebrew etc. so that when/if I am ready to start to convert I will be more prepared.

In other news, I have decided to move back to Columbus in June to study for the MCAT, get a job, further establish my Ohio resident status, and apply to medical school. I am trying to convince Mandy that she should move back with me.

I still have no idea what to do with my field work term (6 weeks long!) in January and February, but I would like to do some interesting medical-related volunteer work.

Moral dilemma

I want to go to services and fast for Yom Kippur, but I have a chemistry test on Thursday morning. I could just go to Kol Nidrei service on Wednesday night and fast and take the test on Thursday morning and then go to afternoon services, or I could ask (with my friend Jeanne) to have the test moved for us. While Jeanne, as a conservative Jew, is totally justified if she asks to take the test at another time, I feel like it would be pretty strange for me to make the same request. At the same time, I do want to go to services and observe Tom Kippur, so perhaps it ultimately doesn't matter that I'm not Jewish. Thoughts?

Also, isn't it strange that we have a word for di-lemma, but not really one for poly-lemma? Ooh, never mind, the word polylemma does exist! So this is a moral polylemma.

Friday Night Lights...

is so hot.
How lame that it will only be on cable? Really lame.

Amusing, Election-related
