Hey I finally got paid! Happy Day!

So, anyway, Mars Week is coming up. I just registered, I'm excited. Lots of great speakers and a chance for me to rant on about how important space exploration is to the future of humanity. I heart Mars.

So my going to a Mars convention isn't perhaps the most shocking thing in the world. But today I also bought a ticket for the Ralph Nader convention on Sunday. This, in my opinion, is very odd behavior for someone like me. I'm not into the green party, or Nader, or even politics at all.

But, you see, I am into Michael Moore and Howard Zinn, who are also speaking at the convention. And who knows, maybe I'll get to stand up and ask Nader why he's against nuclear power. That's the biggest reason why I can't vote for him. Maybe anti-fission power I can understand, but he has actively campaigned against nuclear fusion research because it's nuclear. He's one of those people who forced us to stop saying Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and instead say Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) because it sounds less.. oooh.. nuclear!

I think maybe I should get injured. Maybe that'll justify the $600 dollars I just dropped on my mandatory MIT health insurance. For that I should get a sweet gold-plated cast or something. Or at least something to rub on these aching kungfu muscles...
