My eyes have holes in them.

The current cool word in economics, politics, whatever is "globalization" - you probably know what it means. The idea is that a byproduct of the faster communication and cheaper travel costs is cultural homogenization. I have a feeling we may actually move towards a point where the world wide culture is very similar, but pockets of radically different culture exist.

That's why I'm starting the Alligator and Crocodile Destroyers Club. Just call it AC/DC for short. Get in now, positions are limited.

Also, I was reading about this thing called the "Seattle Freeze". Apparently Seattle people tend to be very closed off, friendly on the outside, but generally loners. I wonder if a similar phenomenon takes place at Oglethorpe. When I'm feeling frustrated with the whole thing, I tend to accost strangers and ask them questions.
