A Few Things

1. This cool article in Time Magazine about icebergs that makes me happy. It's really short, check it out!

2. Hilary Clinton for President!

3. I got a call today, my super crappy audition resulted in a chorus position. [Makes me strongly question the quality of the chorus.] I accepted and am happy. I once swore I would never work for free unless for charity; but there's a reason artists are starving.

4. So far intrigued by Cloud Atlas, 60 pages in.

5. So far undefeated this season against my husband on the tennis court.

6. Can't type, have to either origami or brush teeth. Byes.

7. OK last thing. Steve was here last weekend and this is the message I got after we dropped him off at the airport early: "Guess what, I took an earlier flight to nyc but half way through wehad 'fuel' problems and returned to ohare. Then we had to take a newflight to JFK instead. Now I'm getting in at 2am, much later than theoriginal. Funny how things work out."

Gorilla Warfare - such atrocity!

As many as 4 million Congolese may have lost their lives in factional fighting over the last decade. But people are not the only casualties of the African conflict. In the Virunga National Park of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, endangered mountain gorillas have also been caught in the cross-fire of war, corruption and the harvesting of their habitat for precious charcoal. On July 23, rangers in the park made a disturbing discovery: four of the animals had been killed.
