weekend roundup

I had a very successful weekend. Success, i guess, is a relative word. I would say I was successful because I was able to focus long enough to finish all my midterm assignments along with having some time to have a little fun. griff wanted me to go hunting with him on saturday. i laughed when he asked because i didn't think he was serious -- he was. oh well. I still didn't go. we're not a family of hunters!

stacey and i had an interesting conversation this weekend about global warming. neither of us really know what we're talking about. it's something that i'm really starting to find interest in. what is and isn't true about what people say on this topic?

also i was watching 60 minutes tonight (don't really know why...) and this story http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/17/60minutes/main3378089.shtml (sorry i can't make it clickable right now.) valerie wilson used to work undercover for the cia. her story is about being directly involved years ago when they were making claims about iraq buying uranium from niger for weapons of mass destruction and how what we were hearing from our country's leaders wasn't exactly matching up with the information she was finding... anyway. fascinating stuff i think!

and now i must start preparing for a very busy two weeks as i try and turn assignments and take a test early so i can go to new york without having any worries, and have a personal fall break. haha.

You should watch An Inconvenient Truth. Very watchable, Al Gore is actually a pretty interesting speaker.
