Notes for Sarah Palin:

1) Learn how to pronounce nuclear. It may be coming up a lot in the next little bit, and you are just asking to be likened to Pres. Bush if you can't pronounce it.

2) On the topic of Pres. Bush, learn what his doctrine is.

3) The proximity of AK to Russia gives you NO, I repeat NO knowledge of or expertise in foreign policy. Please do not state that it does. Yes, it is a small world, unfortunately there are a few major international conflicts going on in it. You may want to study up on them.

*Note: If anyone hasn't had the chance to watch the SNL skit about Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton... watch it here. Hilarious.

What's happening

The past two weeks have been really eventful, though no blogging has happened. Here is a quick recap:

Two Weeks of Debauchery
Like freshman year all over again, except I am not 18 and I like sleep a lot more now. It was fun to pretend though. With Callie leaving we had to pack in a ton of fun into two short weeks; and we did.

MoCo Fair
Davenport won a giant dog which is sitting in my room right now. Carnies, sharing Carmel Apples (not weird) and the world's largest horse, Sampson. He drinks 25 gallons of water a day. And he is Absolutely Alive.

Latin Dancing
Spinning, Dipping, Salsa and Merengue. A new love of mine. These hips don't lie. Part of the reason I have been so sleepy, it's hard to party like a rock star on a work night.

Georgetown Pool
Saturday afternoons are best spent here. And they often are.

NYC in a day
Chinatown Bus. Street Food. Phantom. Times Square. Reebok Miami Vice's. Street Purses. Rockefeller Center. More Street Food. Chinatown Bus Fight. An innocent fib (apparently the bus does stop in Philly).

Labor Day tour of DC
Callie's cousin was in town and I must say we make darn good tour guides. Highlight: the ghetto shoe store. Low light: the Library of Congress was closed for the holiday.

Church Talk/ Proposal
Both in one Sunday. Missionary work is great. And, I should dispel all rumors here and say it was a fake proposal. But in the middle of introductions at church after Sacrament. I was all shades of red.

Moving
Callie my roomie is moving back to UT. I am not okay with this. Darn jobs across the nation. Now I get "new roomie." I am sure she is great, but will she wake me up with the Cougar fight song? I sure hope not (no offense Callie).
