Salaams all, A group of students at my law school's asylum clinic have recently launched a new program called the Refugee Reunification Project, which is designed to help political asylees in the US bring over their immediate family members (spouses and children) from their home countries. Basically, the aim of the RRProject is to create a fund for plane tickets to the US for asylees' families - as you know, ticket prices can be enormously expensive, especially for a family of 15 from South America ...

A few years ago my mom asked me what "dork" means. I proceeded to explain its synonymous meaning with "geek." Of course she then asked me to define that, as well. Merriam Webster suggests "dork" may be an alteration of that other D word that refers to a certain male organ. Pervs... As if Freud's fascination with his genitalia wasn't enough to persuade people into uncovering the phallic symbolism of every atom in the universe. The dictionary refers me to the words "... Read More

Every saturday morning, I watch cartoons with my brother. For a period of 3 days, a couple years ago, they played the weirdest commercial I have ever seen. And then it was removed from the air, never to be seen again. It was for Yo-J, and I still sing the song. The song kind of reminds me of this village. It went like this: One day in Dullsville, with JJ the cow *you see a cow* One day he crossed the road, things went KER-POW!! *you see the cow get slammed by a yogurt truck and a juice truck* When the dust ha...

Hi guys. Thought you'd like to know that Khaled Hosseini's DREAMING IN TITANIC CITY, a novel about two women set in Afghanistan, has been sold to Riverhead (the publisher of THE KITE RUNNER) again, for what I'm sure was a HUGE advance. It's pubbing in 2007. More details TK!

Hi! It is nice to meet Syrians here. Syria is Turkeys neighbor. I like Syria, but I have never been there. It will be good to make Syrian Friends.

Thinking about changing cars. Kind of in a dilemma here. I like the 4 door practicality of the C32 plus the fact that it's very close to the M3 when it comes to performance figures. But, the M3 wins in looks and driver involvement. Which would you guys suggest? note: I am indifferent to stick shift or automatic.
April 27, 2005 at 10:02amI've experience with both, the M3 hands down is better and parts for the C32 are almost impossible to get you have to wait a long time at the dealer for anything.
