Happy Birthday Sara!
A day late, I’m sorry. (I’m back-dating this entry so it looks like it was posted on the right day)
But I’m not sure you read the site anyway. If you do, Happy Birthday!
2008 NBA All-Star Game to Hornetrific
Those interested in joining me at the 2008 NBA All-Star Game at the pristine and restored New Orleans Arena, please contact Kent with your name and credit card information. Also include a written note reminding him that the return of the Hornets, like all other major businesses, is a huge step in helping revive the city’s economy. He hates the Hornets.
Happy Birthday Paul!
You’re an old man now.

Ale to prawo jest złe. Od Washington Post:
After an emotional debate fraught with symbolism, the Senate yesterday voted to make English the “national language” of the United States, declaring that no one has a right to federal communications or services in a language other than English except for those already guaranteed by law.
The measure, approved 63 to 34, directs the government to “preserve and enhance” the role of English, without altering current laws that require some government documents and services be provided in other languages. Opponents, however, said it could negate executive orders, regulations, civil service guidances and other multilingual ordinances not officially sanctioned by acts of Congress.
Preserve and enhance the role of English? I hate this type of jingoism. It’s neither patriotic, nor inherently American, to speak English. There is no need for the United States to have a national language. It’s as if Americans have forgotten that everyone in this country came from immigrants.
Yes it sucks that people come to this country, where English is the most common language, and refuse to learn to speak it. But you know what? That’s their right. It’s a free country. It may not be the best personal choice to not learn English (right now) in the United States, but the language you choose to speak is exactly that, a personal choice.
I’m not even going to bother to point out the obvious irony in trying to pass this law during the administration of our current President. Ok, I am going to bother, but I certainly wouldn’t dare besmirch the President’s good name in the national language, that would be unpatriotic, right?
George Bush nie może mówić Angielski. Za każdym razem on otwiera jego usta, on niszczy tego język. To jest faktem. Wszyscy poznaje to, wszyscy wyśmiewa jego.
Where are people staying for Colleen’s wedding?!
Because everyone loved the pictures of the outside of my head
Here’s the inside.
These are the CT scans of the inside of my head showing how screwed up my nose is. I will be getting surgery to repair my physical defects, and then I will look like George Clooney.
First, here’s a scan of a slice of my head from pretty close to the outside of my face. You can see the little line going through my head in the bottom right to show you where exactly this slice is in my skull:
The yellow arrow points to where Kent’s septum is. The red line is where George Clooney’s is located.

Flood timeline from the Times-Picayune
The Times-Picayune released a flash animation of the levee breaches and storm surge that gives a great look at what happened when, and just how much of the city was under water. It’s a nice geography lesson. Check it out:
