Gary’s shared linksSTRATFORD, NJ, USA Sometimes, I feel like Bubba from Forrest Gump. I’ve been on public busses and private busses. City busses and intercity busses. Domestic busses and international busses. Busses that left early and busses that left late. I’ve waited for busses that never showed up at all. I’ve been on busses that got into [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA It’s hard to believe, but this time last week I was in Delaware for Dan’s wedding! As I mentioned, it was a really fun time. And, like usual, the week after a fun time seems to be a rough week here at my grandmom’s. Even after being here for over 10 months, [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA My Background Junior year of high school was a pretty big year for me. I was learning that I really enjoyed TV production, and my history teacher thought I had a real knack for the social sciences. In fact, she was so impressed that she had my high school nominate me for the New Jersey [...]

Stratford, NJ, USA Including travel time, my sports daytrip to Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, only took about 13 hours of my 6.5 day trip to the West Coast. Why, then, does this little jaunt get a post almost as long as my recap of the entire rest of the trip? Well, as a sports fan, [...]

http://observer.american.edu/040506/immigration_040506.html Mish sent me that editorial, and it really pissed me off. Even though languages aren’t one of my strengths, I’m a big fan of multilingualism, and this kind of chauvinism is one of my pet peeves. I’ll critique it line-by-line, because I’m a loser like that. For Spanish, Press One In Immigration Battle, English [...]

SILVER SPRING, MD, USA Tonight, I went to SilverDocs, “the pre-eminent U.S. documentary fest,” right here in Silver Spring. Missed the film I really wanted to see, “Bob Smith – USA,” so instead I went to see five short films. A good choice, because I like short films and honestly, documentary filmmaker would probably in [...]

SILVER SPRING, MD, USA The parallels between this and the now classic “Choose MY Own Adventure #1″ didn’t even occur to me until well after I had undertaken this venture, but now that I think about it, the two are very much in the same vein. I guess the easiest way to explain it is [...]

WASHINGTON, DC, USA 8:39 AM I just sat down at my computer. Had I not stopped at Rite Aid for Tylenol on the way here, I may have been on time for work for the first time in a long time. Actually, 8:39 is probably even the closest I’ve been to being on time in [...]

MARLTON, NJ, USA Well, Ken Jennings did it again. 36 consecutive wins on Jeopardy! There’s only one thing in all of history that I can think of that rivals Ken’s supremacy on Jeopardy: Wesley “Two Scoops” Berry’s reign of terror on American Gladiators. As great as both of these men truly are, wouldn’t it be [...]

SCHILTIGHEIM, FRANCE I haven’t really been up to anything interesting, so I think I’ll take a few minutes to give you a report on what life has been like overall since I arrived in France. But since nobody likes reading my long rambly entries (formatted like I’d format a paper for school, my report about [...]
