I've had a headache for about 6 hours how, so I think tonight's a good night to go to bed early. I should be finishing up a paper, but it will have to wait.

Almost weekend....

Gotta to to bed soon, but I thought I'd pass on this cool website: Yes.Net is a site that tracks songs being played on radio stations in major US markets. So if you hear a song that you don't know, remember the time that it plays, then go home and find the radio station on the website, then pick the specific time you heard it. Cool, eh?

I finished my second-to-last problem set of the term tonight. Alright. I still have two papers to write, and a few exams next week. But that's next week. So at least I survived another week. :-)

Time to sleep. Tomorrow needs to be a productive day.

Current mood: Cautiously optimistic.
Cuurent song: BT, "Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved)"

Senate votes to reauthorize assault weapons ban. Yay.

On a completely unrelated note, I had a dream last night about medical school interviews. (It was the first such dream since mid-2002, around which time I had them about three times a night.) I was at the final interview for a school, and the Dean said that the school would be happy to admit me as long as I could recall the words to the Battle Hymn of the Republic. But I couldn't remember them, so I didn't get into the school.

What was that about highly-caffeinated energy drinks messing with your brain? :-)

I think I had an epiphany tonight about dating. More to follow.

I borrowed this post from a friend, who borrowed them from GatorGSA.

12 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Will Ruin Society:

1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control are not natural.
   
   
2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people cannot get legally married because the world needs more children.
   
   
3. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children because straight parents only raise straight children.
   
   
4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful, since Britney Spears's 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
   
   
5. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and it hasn't changed at all: women are property, Blacks can't marry Whites, and divorce is illegal.
   
   
6. Gay marriage should be decided by the people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of minorities.
   
   
7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are always imposed on the entire country. That's why we only have one religion in America.
   
   
8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people makes you tall.
   
   
9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage license.
   
   
10. Children can never succeed without both male and female role models at home. That's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
    
    
11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to cars or longer lifespans.
    
    
12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages will for gays & lesbians.
    

Whoa. Global warming, the Gulf Stream, and impending armageddon. Check out this great article entitled "The Ice Age Cometh." And get ready to be a little freaked out.
