The now-infamous words of Hillary Rodham Clinton

"I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas."

I'm writing a paper on Hillary and this passage made me smile. I want to know what kind of tea she would have served. English Breakfast? Japanese Sencha? Earl Grey? We may never know.

Direction

From Quote of the Day:

If we don't change direction soon, we'll end up where we're going.
-Professor Irwin Corey

Does this mean I'll live in Michigan for the rest of my life? Or that I will always be working as a coffee barista? I hope not. I mean, my life is fine the way it is now but that doesn't mean the status quo should continue forever.

On a totally unrelated note, it is exhausting trying to take care of roommate issues. The girl who was going to move in permanently for the year (and had already signed the lease) sent me an email last week saying, “Oh, by the way, change of plans! I’m not going to be moving in!” It seems living with her boyfriend is preferred. So, I have a new roommate lined up. She is from Taiwan. I met with her Uncle this week to go over everything. He expressed concern that language may be an issue, as his niece is not fluent in English.

“I think maybe you both could learn from one another and get something out of living together… She can improve her English skills from being around you and you can learn a little about her culture… Do you like Chinese food?”

I believe the implication here is: I let her move in, she pays rent and learns English and in exchange I have my choice of General Tso’s Chicken or Moo Shu. The food sold me on the arrangement.
