Honestly, I lead a very dull existence here in the boonies of New Hampshire. For Christmas I got the comfy sheepskin shoes--not slippers, mind you--that I wanted, I learned that my house at school owes $280 to the cable company through our own fault and other extenuating circumstances, and I've spent time outside--you guessed it--snowshoeing. I've also learned a few things from the New York Times website. First, as you may all know, Bhutto was assassinated. This is disturbing on various levels. For Pakistan, it almost certainly spells doom, or at the very least, some good old-fashioned political turmoil. For the (Western) world it almost certainly spells political turmoil, but possible doom should Islamic militants gain control of the government which has in its possession nuclear arms.
But, fear not. I have much more exciting news to share. Kiwis aren't actually dead! Not only are they not extinct, but they're making a comeback! Maybe it was just me, confusing them for their kin, the dodo, which is in fact extinct, but I was pretty pumped to see this. I'm not saying kiwis can counter the havoc a few Islamic fundamentalists (or Christian Bushesque fundamentalists, for the matter) could wreak with a couple of nukes, but it's good to see the little guys make a comeback.
In other news, Guitar Hero is addicting. Consider yourself warned.
Otherwise, really not much to report here. Just biding my time here in the Arctic Circle that is New England in winter. I have a Nantucket visitor arriving tomorrow and staying until New Year's Day which should be a great deal of fun. The day after I have a phone interview for a job with Grassroots Campaigns, this kind of guns-for-hire organization for, well, grassroots campaigns. They organize and train workers for various progressive campaigns both political--DNC, Moveon.org--and social--Sierra Club, ACLU. It'd be great to have a job after college set, leaving me much less stressed out during the final term of senior year.
Anyway, before I leave, check out this Youtube Clip of the Day. Giving him the business. Word.
