Flustered and annoyed... Well, I'm mostly flustered because I have an Algerbra test next period and guess how much studying I've done, yeah, that's right, none, zip, zero. And I'm annoyed with myself because, well, I've been slacking off a little bit. I don't know maybe it's just the nice weather.

I just used the phrase, "Thanks for the heads up" in an email. And it made me think. It warns me about reading poetry in translation. The phrase, of course, comes from ball games--when a wild ball is lobbed, one yells "heads up" so people will look at where the ball is and get out of the way.

Something good to always try to keep in mind is that the human capacity for self-deception, to see the world as you would like to see it, is enormous.

In an effort to avoid the terms Israel and Palestine, I propose calling the war in the Middle East the "Levant War". Robert Wright has an article on Slate entitled "Was Arafat the Problem?".
