"We don't really want to tell you that the only way to lose weight is to work out more and eat less." -- Chandra Czape, former Deputy Articles Editor, Cosmo magazine

Realization: I realized today that I am prejudiced against people with nice eyebrows and clear nail polish. How ridiculous is that. But I couldn't come up with any other reason that I was immediately wary of three girls that I'm working on a project with. I'm pretty sure this prejudice is a holdover from high school, when all the super-snobby people were too perfect-looking to be real. It really does take four years of college to get over the damage done in high school. Man.

"For as long as al-Qaida has a capability to put terrorists on this Earth, they will find a place to train. Our job will be to go after and find those and take them away." -- Rear Adm. John Stufflebeem, the deputy director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Does anyone else think that sounds completely futile? We're going to be bombing suspected terrorist camps until the end of time?

Brownie update: All is well. Except for my stomach. Eating, like, 6, was a bad idea. Now I know.

Right now, I'm baking brownies. Maple syrup brownies, with a recipe courtesy of Eric. I was trying to remember what it was like making them in his host mom's kitchen, but I really couldn't, except I do remember spilling sugar all over the floor. But this process has been so easy (so far -- we'll see how they turn out in about five minutes), that it really bears no resemblance to the first time.

Fun thing: Follow along as I take my guitar course.

Update: This weekend Patrick and I went to Chicagoland's only Danish restaurant. This restaurant was a two-hour train ride plus a two-mile walk away from Evanston, but hey. It was worth it. It was worth it to see the exact same print that's in my host family's den, hanging in the restaurant -- and, of course, for the pickled herring and rye bread. Our waiter looked a bit taken aback when we ordered that as our appetizer. On the way home we got some quality entertainment, too -- loud, drunken Naval recruits being thrown off the Metra train by the conductor. For a second I could've sworn I was back in Copenhagen. The herring, the train, the drunkeness. *Sigh.*

bring a wishing-well gift
but don't bring the guys!"
