QueueQueue - LiveJournal.comFrom my cousin in Iraq- February 24, 2008 Well, we're finally back in Habbaniyah for a while from the whole Fallujah thing. It was interesting the past 3 weeks and I've never been so involved in so many things at once. From operating and being in charge of as many as 12 guys to meeting with local leaders, who, three years ago, were the main effort of the insurgency in Fallujah. Now they are turned good, to keep out Al Queada in Iraq, which no one seems to want in the region. From that we did vehicle patrols throughout the area....http://queue.livejournal.com/844843.html What I Did with the Mango- February 13, 2008 I was feeling lazy after working a full day from home while sick, so I took the easiest route. I heated a dry skillet and cooked chopped mango with some chopped tomato, and I added some dried basil. Then I put that over the spinach and cheese tortellini. It was pretty darned good.http://queue.livejournal.com/844437.html Mango plus Protein- February 12, 2008 I have a ripe mango I want to cook with dinner tonight, and I have a freezer full of protein.

It was some weird combination of high school and college. The final exams were pretty much completely incomprehensible, but it didn't really matter as I had already failed at that point. I was explaining to my mother that the problem was that I didn't expend enough concentration on my classes. I spent time there, but I had more mental energy invested in playing computer games, and therefore I didn't learn. I was in the last math class. Again, I knew that..http://queue.livejournal.com/843351.html Death Dreaming- February 11, 2008 Last night, I had a dream that I had been sentenced to death. It was this nebulous thing, where sometimes it seemed that I had indeed made some kind of mistake and was paying for it, and sometimes it seemed that I didn't do anything to deserve it. However, it was inevitable. I wasn't in jail or anything, but I knew the day was coming. At the beginning of the dream it was a couple of days away, and by the end of the dream it was going to be happening the next day. I spent some time trying to do..http://queue.livejournal.com/843069.html Making Mathematics with Needlework- February 6, 2008 I don't advertise my company's books too often here, but I thought a number of people reading this might be interested in the recently released book Making Mathematics with Needlework, edited by sarah-marie belcastro and Carolyn Yackel.Mathematical craftwork has become extremely popular, and mathematicians and crafters alike are fascinated by the relationship between their crafts. The focus of this book, written for mathematicians, needleworkers, and teachers of mathematics, is on the...http://queue.livejournal.com/842051.html I Voted- February 5, 2008 At 5:45 PM, I put ballot 957 into the machine in Ward 5, Precinct 2 in Newton. There were a few other things on the ballot, but I only voted in the presidential primary. I'm unenrolled, but I voted in the Democratic primary for my second choice, since my first choice dropped out of the race last week (it was a little sad to see his name on the ballot). I'm curious to see what happens.http://queue.livejournal.com/841917.html Unenrolled- February 5, 2008 In a state like Massachusetts, where the primary is open, what is a reason someone would enroll in a particular party Do the national parties allocate money based on enrollment status in that state Is there some other benefit besides declaring that you prefer one particular partyhttp://queue.livejournal.com/841644.html |
