Fun fact of the day

Apparently the medication I'm on has a known side effect of vivid dreams...

Suddenly everything makes sense.

Don't people know the rules?

I'm doing a reading for my Communities class- the wikipedia entry on communities. And in part of the definition is this:

Communities are distinguished by having enough participants in a group caring for the common good and developing a sense of community, in which they give of themselves.

If you're definining community for someone who doesn't know what it is, how can you expect them to know what a "sense of community" is? Maybe they could have used something like "solidarity."

I hate it when people are redundant. And usually wikipedia is pretty good. I guess I'll have something to say in class at least...

Human beings? (cameras, part 4)

So I called wal-mart, and they don't have the TZ1. So I called best buy. No one picked up in the cameras department. So I called again for general customer service. No answer. I tried 2 or 3 more times, each with a different department, and no one ever picked up!

Meanwhile, the store is open today, if you think maybe I was calling when it's closed. I give up.

Ok. So now what?

( edit that ended up being longer than the original entry... )

David Stern got back to me. He agreed that my new idea for the thesis (the whole evolution of niddah laws and modern day non-Orthodox use of miqvah) was better than my old one, since there's tons of material.

Though he can't meet with me until after Rosh Hashana, but there's no rush. Now I don't have to feel guilty for not doing that reading and focusing on the stuff for Ben.

Yay!

1 hour until the Hillel BBQ. I should at least do some reading...
