It must be summer
Ate some nice fresh greens last night
My hull is perfect

About the pledge stuff

I see a lot of people in my corner of the blogspace reacting with disgust at the present Pledge of Allegiance flap, as if the reaction is wholly a Bad Thing.

I like to think it's the kind of disgust you see when you lift up a rock and see whole nations of white wriggly things. I am actually happy that this is happening, that someone in that judge's position finally tested a boundary that hasn't been touched in 50 years.

The first step in changing boundaries is testing them.

Going to med school

The med school made its offer today, and I accepted. I start Wednesday the 10th, after Origins and cthulhia's golf thing.Yaaay

The decision was well-cemented in my mind by the time I woke up this morning. Lots of people helped me come to it; thanks to all. Basically, while the location isn't as interesting as Harvard Square, I find that I can't pass up the opportunity to apply my skills to hard science, especially in a field as interesting to me as genome-related research. (And the location isn't horrible, either; at least it's near the T.)

It was hard writing the genuinely regretful turn-down letter to the ICG. I hope they find someone else who is as interesting as me, ho ho. (I don't doubt that they will, actually.)

Let's trade

Won't someone tell me where I can find that blasted South Park character construction kit everyone's been using?

Here, you can have this in trade. (Thanks, Robert.)
