i want a girl who won't talk back and a job that gives me slack

I have some happy news to report...

* I won the Political Science Quarterly prize!  This is what I'm most proud of.  That essay meant a lot to me, as it was marginally about my father, the student protester. 

* I was elected (?) into Phi Beta Kappa.  Ha ha ha, kap-pas.  I can't say that word without a Japanese accent now.  If that is indeed what it is - it might just be my Japanese Monsters professor's bizarre intonation.  I don't really know what this means because it's so OMG SECRET.  I hope it's like Skull and Bones.  I hope the initiation requires blood rites on the quad lawn.  I really, really hope so.  

* Nossa Morte took my story, "And When She Was Bad."  Named after my favorite nursery rhyme.  It was inspired by a paper I had to do for my Japanese Monsters class, so that's one good thing that damn class has done for me, I guess.  I think it'll be out Feb. 2009.

On the down side, House is dissecting a dead cat.  :(  Poor kitty.

damn. you so cool. but wtf is Phi Beta Kappa?

It's a national honor society. "faculty who are themselves members of phi beta kappa elect new members of phi beta kappa". I don't know. I don't think it's that big a deal, just like high school national honor society.
