We’ve Made it! 2008-08-05 21:44:53 Kate and I pulled into our new apartment around 1 this afternoon. After a quick unload of the car I was off to find food while we waited for the landlord to come over for the lease signing and the key handover. The lease signing was painless and the manager, Dave, told Kate she could [...]
San Diego, here we come. We are neo Nader’s Raiders. 2008-09-09 16:10:29 Yep. Neil and I are now the official San Diego
Volunteer Coordinators for the Nader campaign.
That's what I get for asking for some bumper stickers!
Nader may be coming to San Diego
soon, so they really needed some help. I figure, hey, I've got nothing else going on right?
This is Neil and I just wanted to [...] Read more:Raiders
That’s the problem with Republicans… 2008-09-07 14:11:16 On Friday night we went to do sealings with our ward at the San Diego Temple. It is a majestic building in a holy place. The assignment for our ward was well attended with amazing, amazingly busy people who took time out o their Friday night to serve and worship. The oldest member of the [...] Read more:Republicans
Things you can see when you talk a walk 2008-08-29 00:55:33 So a few days ago when Kate was at class I decided to take a little walk to the San Diego River park by our house to see what I could see. On the way, before I could make it very far, I came across all these wonderful creatures. In fact when I finally made [...]
Lofting About 2008-08-22 11:43:55 So Kate just started here law school orrientation so I've been left at home to fend for myself. Lucky I do most the cooking otherwise I'd starve without her. Actually I've been job hunting these last few days and have had some promissing leads. The only problem with moving to a new location without a [...]
Unsafe at any height 2008-08-19 00:04:22 In an effort to make our little apartment seem bigger we hatched a plan (with the help of my dad, who is always involved in all insane schemes) to build a loft bed. This loft bed project turned out to be quite the undertaking and in the end grew to be an 8 foot high [...]
I may, or may not, have lice 2008-08-14 23:19:05 That's right. I faced my biggest actual fear today in Tijuana. We went with Spectrum Ministries to do a "bathhouse ministry" today in the La Bola neighborhood of Tijuana. We went to give showers, clothes & shoes to about 200 kids. Despite my mortal fear of body bugs, I took the job of lice remover. [...]
Less than a week in CA & we’ve already been to Disneyland 2008-08-12 15:47:33 Yep, that's right folks this is a picture of us on a ride at...Disneyland
. We were there from 9am to 12pm on Saturday. Why? Our friends the Hasans came to visit us from Salt Lake & it is extremely difficult to convince a family of 7 from Iraq with small children that Disneyland is not [...]

There’s no such thing as a free lunch 2008-09-28 13:31:50 “Oh, and by the way. You are in charge of getting Mr. Nader lunch. He likes Lebanese food and fruit juice.” This is what we were told two hours before the Nader rally at UCSD that we were in charge of getting peeps in San Diego out to. When we got the call, we were [...] Read more:free lunch
Knocking doors with the president of the gay bowling league & An excellent article 2008-09-20 21:05:16 Yesterday Neil & I went knocking to get people out to see Ralph Nader at his upcoming rally in San Diego next Saturday. We went with (the) two other Nader supporters in San Diego. One was our new friend Dennis. He is the head of the gay bowling league in San Diego, among other things. [...] Read more:excellent
San Diego’s Premier Political Parties You Won’t Want to Miss 2008-09-17 21:30:15 So Kate and I met a Nader friend today who is campaigning with us. After we had a nice lunch he took me to the District Voter Registration Office to get voter registration forms and other information about San Diego
’s voter precincts. One of the sheets we got listed all the political parties recognized in the county. A few of my favorites are listed [...] Read more:Premier

The Wrong Side of the Chain Link 2008-09-16 00:48:16 Last night Kate and I went downtown to the Gas Lap District for some gelato, from possible the best gelato shop in the USA, Chocolate, and so Kate could look for a new hat, i.e. a corn hat by Kangol. We arrived in the district around 8:30, parked and hit the streets. At this point [...] Read more:Chain

Ride with Me to Work 2008-10-16 10:06:48 So I was running a little late for work and as I was leaving the house I had a brilliant idea…which made me even more late for work. Pulling out the old video camera, I thought to my self, “wouldn’t it be cool to tape this camera to my bike helmet and film my ride to work?” [...]
The Stock Market, the Bailout and I 2008-10-10 13:06:20 An older African saying goes something like this.
The stock market is like the neck of an old drinking giraffe. Even though the process is difficult, when the ancient giraffe is finished and has no more room for water, it must move its neck back into a positive angle and upright its heavy head.
Actually I made [...] Read more:Market

My Rumparts are Under Attack 2008-10-07 14:42:22 I purchased a new Specialized bike last weekend so I could commute to work and free up the car for Kate. I also like to bike so that helped me make the decision. Unfortunatly the first few weeks of long distance biking can take toll on your body while you adjust to the physical demands [...]
Torts 2008-10-06 17:49:34 I just want to confirm the rumors: it is true, law school is hard.
Right now I am studying for my Torts class (ok, technically right now I am writing a blog article in an attempt to avoid studying for my Torts class). To give you a little idea of what that is like this is [...]
Roger exists, life is good 2008-11-05 12:14:25 As I told the Australian reporter who interviewed me last night, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed. Luckily to surround me in our defeat last night were awesome people like Roger
(pictured above) who have been fighting the good fight for longer than I’ve been alive. He has been campaigning for impeachment [...]
My greatest regret 2008-11-05 02:41:45 “My greatest regret is that, under our Constitution, the American people can have almost anything they want, but it just seems they don’t want much of anything at all.” -Eugene Debs
VOTE FOR NADER! 2008-11-04 17:17:42 We already voted on Sunday after a 3.5 hour wait. I just love freedom sooooo much!
We will post pics of the NADER PARTY we are hosting downtown SD at election central. I’m pretty sure we’ll be the only political party with a live band. It’s going to be awesome.
Happy Birthday Season! 2008-11-02 15:37:56 Nothing like seafood & a political debate to really celebrate your 28th birthday in style.
I convinced the Republican & Democrat clubs at my school to let me crash their student Presidential debate. I convinced another Nader fan at USD to participate with me, and we were allowed to answer 2/4 questions (ie, I only got [...] Read more:Birthday

Workin’ 9 to 5 2008-10-25 00:25:53 I just want to encourage everyone who may not have heard Dolly Parton’s song “9 to 5″ in a while to take a listen. Soon. I am workin’ in an office job that I have to commute 30+ minutes to in bumper-to-bumper traffico (another setback of SoCal) and the only way I get by is [...] Read more:Workin
Work is for Jerks 2008-11-23 19:57:06 I have a brilliant friend. When I got home from my mission we both decided it would be a good idea to apply to work at Savers (it was). Surprisingly we had to fill out lengthy form applications. (Surprising because I’m not sure what percentage of Savers employees are literate, but from my anecdotal evidence [...]
Bangarang, Katie! 2008-11-22 22:59:06 We just got back from a tasty hot chocolate and turtle pie at the Zanzibar Cafe in Mission Beach. The desserts were delectable and our outfits divine. I wore the same outfit I’ve had on for the the last 3 days, namely a pair of shorts and an old ‘t’ with food stains, toothpaste drool, [...] Read more:Katie
“Slacker Uprising” a disappointment 2008-11-14 00:40:21 Kate and I tried to watch Michael Moore’s new film, “SlackerUprising
,” last night. 10 minutes into the film we pressed the turn-off-the-movie-and-go-to-bed button on the remote. It isn’t that we don’t like Michael Moore films, “Fahrenheit 911″ and especially “Sicko” are brilliant and entertaining. It’s just that “Slacker Uprisi
