Notice the left side is longer than the right.
... compared to the back.
This is with my hair "spiked." Normally, it is the front that sticks up, not the back.
Just got out of a teleconference between an Obama spokesman and the NA-YGN (North American Young Generation in Nuclear). Some highlights:
The three Westinghouse people to attend were myself (Republican), a woman I didn't know (presumably a Democrat), and my coworker who invited us (undecided, "probably going to stoop to vote Republican").
- Obama is opposed to Yucca mountain, the current storage facility of nuclear waste. To this, the presumdem said "Wow. He really needs to get educated." It reminded me of an Alec Baldwin HuffPo article.
-- Obama is also against recycling nuclear waste as he believes it will put out more weapons grade material. So it seems like he doesn't want to store the waste or reuse it (and our current nuclear methods mean there will be waste).
-- The spokesman kept saying "if it turns out nuclear is the best source of energy ... ". Keep in mind this was to an audience of all nuclear industry workers. This would be like saying to autoworkers in Detroit "if American cars are actually the best ... ".
-- McCain has pushed for at least 45 new plants, but the spokesman said they questioned his sincerity. When asked how many the Obama camp wants, the question was unsubtly dodged.
-- Several studies since 9/11 have shown that these nuclear plants we want to build are safe, but when this was mention, the spokesman said that Obama still wasn't sure and mentioned Three Mile Island (which, mind you, wasn't the catastrophe it was made out to be, and nobody suffered from radiation effects).
Update more later ...
My new place in Monroeville!
The living room (bowling trophy lamps for the end tables are coming Thursday). The couch and chair are microfiber, which repels liquid.
The home theater.
The dining room (matches the living room end tables and coffee table).
The kitchen (with Jessica's coffeemaker and Justine's vegetables).
The office (in the bedroom).
My bed, which has the same bedding set as Anna. (The rest of the bedroom is boring because I don't have a dresser yet.)
The bathroom.
I accepted a job with Turner in upstate New York this week. I'll be working 45 minutes away in Oxford (not the one in Britain) as a field engineer. I'll help out building a nursing home, which should be completed by the end of the year, just in time for my mom to move in.
The job starts April 1, but I'm taking a test April 12 so until the job starts I'll be studying for that. I'm taking the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, which eventually leads to another test that might someday make me more valuable and worth more money.
Meanwhile Gnarls Barkley is rush-releasing their next album. This makes me happy because it was supposed to come out April 8, then this morning the release date was moved to March 25, and just now it was announced that it's for sale as of tomorrow. This is the band that sings "Crazy," so you know I'm excited.
Can't think of a fourth thing yet but it'll come to me.
