I Am Diana

And so can you!

Props to my boy Stephen Colbert and his new book. I have yet to decide where I will buy my copy (an executive decision!).

Dennis the Menace Kucinich (whom Colbert would have us believe is a leprechaun) humored us all by coming on Colbert's show and emptying his pockets of everything from a pocket-sized Magna Carta to a full tea set to his real membership card in the AFL-CIO.

That's quite a leprechaun! Where can I find a pocket-sized one? If only voters had the courage to vote for someone like him en masse. He has such heart.

It was nostalgic to be back in the East Bay, driving through my old haunts and thinking how odd it is that college seems so far away, yet I hardly experienced it, it seems. I was in such a fog of re-entry that much of it feels like a halfway space between worlds. I'm studying Arabic to prepare for the summer, which I know will be intensive and really hard. The more I can get under my belt now, the better off I'll be in June. I took a four-week crash course at Pacific Arabic Resources in SF, which I couldn't recommend more highly.
