Fission Mucking Accomplished
I think the pics say it all. I’ve lost the 70lbs I set out to lose in January.
So from here, it’s about...
A school library at last for Buckingham
a few excerpts from the article:
“Erickson said much of the credit for getting the library together goes to Oates and semi-retired Spanish teacher Carol Buchanan.”
“It’s so cool, so rewarding when a student returns a book and says, ‘This book changed my life,’” Oates said.
“The irony of all this is that the part of my job that I don’t get paid for is the part I love the most,” Oates said. “It really is cool.”

Mrs. Oates was my favorite teacher in high school; she’s been able to set up a library despite the lack of funding. I also count her as the person responsible for my love of reading and I’m sure there are many more former students of hers that would say the same. I’m proud of what she is doing at Buckingham!
“Look, I’m sorry for blowing up earlier. It’s just…I can feel tequila…in my face.”
tequila = death
Colin Powell’s 13 Rules of Life
- It ain’t as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.
- Get mad, and then get over it.
- Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.
- It can be done!
- Be careful what you choose. You may get it.
- Don’t let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.
- You can’t make someone else’s choices. You shouldn’t let someone else make yours.
- Check small things.
- Share credit.
- Remain calm. Be kind.
- Have a vision. Be demanding.
- Don’t take counsel of your fears or naysayers.
- Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.
“People who sleep eight or nine hours, look what they miss!” declares Martha, immodestly. They miss the Martha Stewart show, and gain the world of dreams, Martha. A more than fair bargain, is it not?”
In this Sports Illustrated photo series of athletes in their college dorms, Robin and Brook Lopez sit on Stanford beds that I bet they don’t miss. If the twin extra longs felt small to me, they probably felt small to seven footers. Other Stanford appearances in the series include Michelle Wie and Summer Sanders.
See the rest of the pictures here.
oh god. the stanford beds are SHORT.
chillin’ with my new THE AMERICAN SCENE shirt. saw them play their first show in san francisco show tonight and couldn’t have been more proud of my older brother up there, a true gangstar. EDIT: yes. that’s a pink punching bag in the background. it’s emasculating.
I just finished a How To guide called Gmail with Multiple Inboxes and Superstars. Try this before declaring email bankruptcy; it has saved me on several occasions. Enjoy!!

I’ve walked over this bridge dozens of times, first time I’ve ever seen it drawn… On 4th Street.
