Things I have learned this week…
1. Indecency laws are not only vague and archaic, but confusing in what others consider ‘patently offensive’.
2. Getting a proper pair of running pants does wonders to ones self-esteem. In that you don’t have to worry about people look at your sweaty body and any evidence that may be showing…er…through.
3. I need more sleep, lest I get grouchy.
4. Coordinating schedules of three musicians and three full-time UW students is impossible.
5. My political beliefs and needs are best represented by soft power. Cultural exchanges FTW.
6. Immigration detention centers are not only privately-owned, but they also have no regulations. So, no food, no medical care? Sorry buddy, should’ve thought about that before deciding to legally immigrate to the US of A. What, we promised you due process? Well, sheeeeet.
Okay kids, back off to fight the good battle (get through the next few weeks of lecture). Then summer break! Then Denmark! I can SO do this.

you SO can do it! and i dig the idea of soft power.. more reading must be had!
ooo, where did you find good exercise pants? I need a new pair.
ahhh that elusive thing called exercise pants….mine, tragically, have turned into watching television pants, blogging pants, get comfy in bed and read pants. But it’s almost Spring in New York and well, the exercise in me is calling, nay RECLAIMING the pants to their proper monicker.
As for all the other stuff? I didn’t about the detention centers (more investigation on my part), cool thing about soft power (more reading as well) and you can soooo do it!
Okay, here are my pants: http://www.shopadidas.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2772162&shopGroup=R&cp=2019628.2039727.2039731.2020271&view=all&parentPage=family&colorId=
I ruv them.
Yeah, I’m trying to learn more about the detention centers too. It’s not easy, as there is a lot of conflicting information coming from DHS and everyone else. But I spoke with a local advocate who saw the Tacoma detention center first hand, so I’m more apt to believe him. Let me know if you find anything good.
