Weekend update! This morning is a slow news situation so I'm not compelled to do an intelligent inquiry (the prominent story being an earthquake... and that just isn't all that funny). So I thought I'd just chat about a few random things that are on my mind.
I finally received my EBT benefits. It took over a month, but I have my card and it has a balance. I plan on buying some ingredients for sweet potato quesadillas and bulgur burgers. If you weren't aware, as an Americorps member I'm eligible for food assistance. Since I get paid an awfully small amount and I work some 50 hours a week for that position, I have no reservations about accepting it. Next...
Plants vs. Zombies by Popcap games. I recommend everyone giving that game a try. There's a free demo on Popcap's site and it's available for PC, Mac, and Iphone/Ipod Touch. The game is wonderful, but the meticulous attention to detail is the real treat. The game includes an almanac with short descriptions of each plant and zombie with a surprising amount of wit. Moreover, the game has a great sense of humor. For instance, there is an achievements list presented as a hole in the ground. Once you hit the bottom of the list, you can keep on scrolling for an obnoxious amount of time, but if you keep going and hit the other side, you are come out on the other side of the world with zombies dressed up in Chinese attire. Again, the small attention to detail is what really makes this game shine. PS... If you don't think this is your cup of tea, find and play Peggle. That game will hook you.
I've been going through "The Elements of Style" lately. That sounds about as boring as it gets, but I'm never really satisfied with my mastery of the English language. I'm proficient, but I'd rather be a master at it. In other boring news, I've just started looking over the Federalist papers. For a few boring reasons: I'm going into law so it seems to be a useful piece of lit to have read. Also, I find a lot of people throwing around what America stands for and I'd like to have the tools to argue about that a bit better, because the fact of the matter is that the Federalist papers and the Constitution are probably our best guides to framers' intent when it comes to our government. Again, I'm just starting.

What about the supreme court case about the time lilitations on requesting a lawyer after miranda rights? Maybe not Eric dietz ground- shaking ( even I understood it) but I figured it wouldve made it on your blog.
Plus peggel is not that great of a game...
