Quick takes on life from our editors Sit-ins
The University needs to find a way to publish all the lecture topics, and when the lectures take place. I know that there are a ton of lectures that I would find interesting. I won’t ever see them because there is no way for me to know about them.

Again, really?
The American Humanist billboard was again vandalized. Again, I would like to ask the question, ‘How does breaking the law justify the message the vandals are trying to send?’ At least this time it is grammatically correct, “Millions are good with God.”
— Elizabeth
Where is society heading?
I read about the shootings in Ford Hood, Texas Thursday.  My cousin and her family live on the base and I was immediately trying to find out if they were OK.  Thankfully, they sent in an update on their Facebook — they are in fact, OK.  I’m grateful for this social media and the immediacy of speaking with family.

‘Nutty’ pot   
My friend got me hooked on a homeopathic remedy for sinus pain. It is called a Neti Pot. It is gross and weird and makes me feel silly, but surprisingly, is the best thing ever.

California dreamin’
Am I the only one who cannot wait for Thanksgiving break to get here? I’m going to Sacramento, Calif., and it seriously can’t come fast enough. Sunshine, the San Francisco beach and a visit to the King Tut exhibit will make for an amazing vacation — far away from the snow and stress.

We aren’t Billy Mays
So, tomorrow at the camera store I work at, we are doing commercials. Traditionally, photographers are the ones that aren’t very photogenic, and I know that is often the truth with myself. There should be some pretty humorous results.

Leash cat
As per my lease agreement, I can only have an indoor cat. My loophole? A harness made for a toy-size dog. It’s purple and my cat hates it, but at least she gets to play outside. If you ever see a crazy girl walking an angry tabby cat, it’s just Estelle and me, out for a stroll.

Let’s go Yankees
And the Yankees win it all. When Mark Teixeira touched first to record the last out of the 2009 World Series, the look on Derek Jeter’s face made my life.

Windows 7
I finally got Windows 7 for my laptop yesterday. My computer fell off the deep end last week, so I hope this is the solution.
