Today's been a good day thus far...really warm, sunny (like 70). Good start so far. Class was stimulating...I like it best when we spend the majority in dialogue with each other, which is what we did today...class was like one big conversation. Two classmates of mine asked if they could speak with me after class, and I said "yeah, sure...we'll walk and talk" - but being a clever little fox, I knew that this was a recruiting attempt from the Muslims. Soooo along were walking and their all like Mohammed this - Mohammed that, Ramadan this-Ramadan that...blah blah blah. However the whole time their talking - I'm thinking "How's Kerry's rehab, Prior must be itching to get back to All Star form, geez..so many Astros to strike out, so little time." Then they were like "Ma-Salamma" (goodbye) - and I was like "who are you guys?"

Aziz and I are going to try to find a place to watch the All-Star game tonight - he's a huge NBA fan! This weekend is a potential trip back to the pyramids where we can get horses instead of camels...aaaand they let you actually take them running about a mile outside the pyramids...30 pounds too (6 bucks) - can't beat it? Finally I get to be on a horse while it's running...you know what the means?? Well, why don't I just let you refer to the picture for that description.

(it was either that, or re-enact the scene in The Never Ending Story where Atreyu loses his horse in quicksand...but the odds of that happening just aren't in my favor...however opening that baby up like she was Seabisquit-is!)

Climate: excellent 70's or so
Listening: Talib Kweli
Eating: Fatiya...it's like a big pizza puff, minus the marinara, and add goat cheese.
Thinking: not much
