A game between the Angels and Rangers marked the official start of the 2003 Major League Baseball season. Unfortunately, the Angels lost 6 – 3.
The weather has been pretty nice since I got back from California…temps in the mid 70s….and then it snowed today. Ugh.
Pictures from the Blizzard of ’03 are here.
Once again, GW has raised tution – this time by 4.5%. This brings the total cost of ONE year at GW to $39,110. I wish I could have been at that Board of Trustees meeting – “Well, the economy sucks, but let’s raise tuition anyway!”
GW also screwed up next year’s housing selection. Because our adminstration is incompetent, juniors and seniors will be living in housing normally reserved for freshmen and sophomores. So, I might end up living in the same dorm that I did freshman year. Thanks, GW.
Yeeeeah I’m going back to California today for spring break!
“Fifty years ago today Russia was delivered from the long nightmare of Joseph Stalin. The man who murdered his compatriots by the millions, who for three decades immersed his country in bloody terror, was finally gone. It was the end of a reign under which every man and woman knew that he or she could at any time of the day or night be arrested, tortured and killed or sent to a concentration camp. Swept by deadly fear, Soviet people worshiped their ruler. They sacrificed neighbors, wives, husbands, mothers and fathers to Stalin. Denouncing your colleagues and relatives to the authorities in the hope of extending your own life a little longer became routine practice. ‘You die today, so I will live till tomorrow’ was the motto of Stalin’s subjects.” – Masha Lipman, The Washington Post
An interesting article in today’s NY Times suggests that Stalin was poisoned by Beria. Supposedly Stalin was planning to wage a war along the Pacific Coast of the U.S., so Beria decided to get rid of him. Good idea.
Spring training has begun, and baseball season is less than a month away! YESSSS!!! GO ANGELS!!!!!!
“In fact, CaliforniaGold2000 boasts an admirable EBay rating, with just one negative comment out of 310 sales in the past six months.”
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the great State of California is now using eBay to auction off items that airline passengers have surrendered to airport security screeners.
Personally, I think it’s a great idea. I’m sick of those morons in front of me that always hold up the line at security because they packed their Swiss Army knife in their carry-on. Perhaps this will also raise some funds to pay off that massive state deficit.
