I sent my first proposal for a potential topic to an upcoming academic conference - I doubt it will go anywhere, but there's no loss in at least trying. It would be very exciting if I somehow made it, but I don't have any expectations. My proposed topic is "Political Polarization in Colombia since 2012"

I have the coding skills to make a website that looks like it was made in 2000.

I've decided that instead of wait for bursts of creativity, I'm just gonna force myself to write at least 2 pages a day. Even if I run into a road block for the project I'm working on; I'll briefly trade onto a different project for the day.

I've heard that doing this is important for being able to make things. Its a good idea.

I hosted an acoustic session for my radio station tonight with a really cool band from Lancaster called Black Letter Days! They were awesome dudes who make great music. I'll post the audio from the session if anyone's interested!

I'm interested. Do they have their own music, or is it all covers?

Fort Myers is pretty cool. It's on the Gulf of Mexico so the beaches are more relaxed and tranquil. I only went their once. I think it was the weekend that Saddam got sentenced to hang IIRC.

The Keys are probably nice this time of year. I only went once to Islomarada in July '11 with my family. We stayed at this decrepit, run down "resort" in the worst heat I've ever felt in my life, extreme even for Florida. It had to be like 110 finksing degrees. The AC in the room didn't work, the TV had fifteen channels, and the beach attached to the resort was dirty and plagued by piping hot sand. All my brother and I could do was fish at this nearby canal for hours on end. One day we tried going to Key West but my mom got drunk and my autistic brother began to have a meltdown, so we had to go back. We ended up checking out early and going home, but halfway to Miami we had to turn around because we forgot my dad's favorite pillow.

But the Keys are still cool. I hope you like being around a ton of drunks. 80% of the people in Key West are inebriated at any given time, stumbling up the streets in their Hawaiian shirts, their breath smelling of lime and Patron. But there is a pretty cool Fort there that is haunted-my Aunt swears she had a ghost encounter there once, and you can get a chocolate covered frozen key lime pie on a stick supposedly according to my cousin, who I know is quite fond of such things.

Ditching a pep rally because A.F**k those stupid things, and B. My poor eardrums don't deserve to be ruptured.

Currently about 70% sure I'm still alive.

What happened?

Alright; I'll give it a listen when I get alone. (All the music I listen to I listen alone the first try)

Florida isn't really all that bad, unless you visit Orlando, in which case you'll probably leave thinking its way worse.

You said you were going to St. Augustine right? Definitely check out the Castillo San Marcos. I went when I was ten. They had reenactors from the British era. I remember I asked one who was huddled in a corner if he was a Hessian, which he was. He was smoking a cigarette and gave me a lecture on why I should not smoke. I was thoroughly disappointed; age ten was the peak of my interest in Redcoats and the British monarchy of the Georgian era. I owe it all to Age of Empires III.

I mistook a State Senator for a curator at the Detroit Institute of Art. He gave me his card.

Play the original Age of Empires from 1997. My God, it is worth it, even if you have to find an appropriately aged computer to do it on.

I just saw one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen- a Republican on Facebook arguing that abortion should be allowed, despite the fact that he thinks it is murder.  Why?  Because he thinks that it's mostly Democrats that are murdered, so he thinks it is worth it as a means of controlling the population of liberals.

Disgusting!!
