So I am blogging live from my living room.
CURRENT EVENTS
So apparently they want to build a coal gasification plant in American Falls. I don't know much about Coal gasification plants I assume that they will cause pollution but will also provide jobs and a boost to the economy in American Falls and the surrounding area. I am not quite sure I understand all of this I certaintely don't understand how coal gasification plants work but like most industrial plants it will release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the air, but releasing carbon dioxide isn't consider polluting then what is it considered? The plant will emit CO2 for a couple of years but they are going to build a huge pipe to Wyoming and then the C02 or whatever will end up in Wyoming. Not sure how that really works but...I LOVE IT!!

So we are building a coal gasification plant and will reap all the benefits but then we are building a huge pipe to transfer all the carbon dioxide to another state. That has to be the GREATEST IDEA EVER!! and why would Wyoming agree to this? Wyoming you are such a dumb bitch.
THE OBAMA SCORE

"If you still want to be stubborn about America's failure in Afghanistan, then remember the fate of (President George W.) Bush and (Pakistan's ex-president) Pervez Musharraf, and the fate of the Soviets and British before them."

Pissing off Terrorists -1
Keeping Joe Lieberman who enjoys killing pissed off Terrorists +1

Offering Hillary Clinton Secretary of State: +1

ENTERTAINMENT

AC/DC came out with a new album and they didn't disappoint me. I was a little hesitant that it would be like when Metallica released St. Anger and I was so excited to listen to it and it totally sucked. AC/DC and Aerosmith are my two favorite rock n roll bands from the 80's. This is just a great album and just like classic AC/DC
I had a discussion with my friend Hal about the new James Bond movie and I posted on his wall how I was disappointed in the movie and I think I will just cut n' paste my comment:

I dont know why I was so excited to see the Bond movie. The last Bond movie I turn it off after they are done playing cards, because the rest of it is dumb. I thought the opening song sounded like crappy techo and I know I just admitted that some techno isn't crappy which is a contradiction. I thought the fight scenes were too ... Read Morelong and they tried to make them like the Bourne Identity fight scenes, there were no dirty sexual innuendos for all the old people to laugh at and make you feel uncomfortable, the Haitian girl was kind of hot, but these last two Bond movies the Bond girl has been very disappointing and where the heck is Q and all the cool Bond gadgets?
So maybe I missed something in the plot, but the bad guy in the movie had bought up all the water supply in Bolivia(60% to be exact) and then decided to charge a ridiculous amount for water. I think he also built a dam to on an underground river to control even more of the water and this is why the Secret Service and the CIA was trying to kill him. The whole movie I though "so what? That's just a good business idea" I really don't see why the Secret Service would get involved in it, I thought maybe like a Better Business Bureau or whatever they have in Bolivia would just handle the whole thing. I think a good idea for the next James Bond movie should be about a coal gasification plant building building a 120mile pipeline to another state to dump all of its C02 there. Now that would make a great movie.
SPORTS
ISU Basketball

ISU played a pretty good game against Eastern Oregon and Demetrius Monroe looks pretty good. I like how he shows absolutely no emotion and doesn't even look like he is trying at all when he plays. Then ISU lost in Hawaii, a very tough place to play, in OT. They play in Boise this Saturday and I wished I had the money and desire to drive up and watch them play Boise but I am definetly going to be watching the game.
ROCK YOUR VOTE

Ok so I have the NBA League Pass and of course the basic cable which gives me TNT, ESPN and ABC so I can watch every single Laker game except for the ones on NBATV. While this poses a problem for me is because once a week fans can vote online for which game they want to appear on NBATV and so far two Laker games have been voted to be on NBATV. This is terrible, so everyday I get online and I vote for any game besides the Lakers.
MY LIFE
My English class is killin me. I always thought that I was a pretty good english student but this teacher is just tough. I got a 65% on my first paper and a 75% on the second paper(that was the sleep deprivation one) This next paper I am writing it on stem cell research. why did I choose to write a 1600 word paper on stem cell research when I know absolutely nothing about stem cell research. I really don't know I guess stupid people just do stupid things. But I have studying stem cell research and was really surprised with my ability to understand exactly what it is. Could I give a lecture or a presentation on stem cell research, Absolutely not, but hopefully I can BS it enough to write a paper on it.
I probably won't be writing a blog next week since I am going to Colorado to visit some of Sheena's in-laws and I doubt I will have time to write about it but I will let you know all about my trip when I get back.

Just a few things...
1. what is coal gasification?
2. i wanna see this pipeline to wyoming.
3. Hilary on the Obama administration? Don't feel great about that. She scares me.
4. Im sorry youre sick, I had the flu WAY BAD on election day and the day after. It was miserable.
1. I dont know what coal gasification is
2. I wanna see this pipeline to Wyoming as well
3. Yes it would scare me as well if Hilary was on the Obama administration but I dont think she will be and Obama was just bluffing and doing this so all the Hilary supporters would like him if she does accept the position this could all blow up in Obama's face
First of all, that is not nice at all to say about Wyoming. Ever hear of the Weyburn Project? Basically they USE the CO2 to inject in oil reservoirs which help improve oil recovery DRAMATICALLY while the injected CO2 remains sequestered. Enhanced oil recovery. How is it that I spend a month in Poky (collectively) over the summer and catch all this stuff.. Pay attention, Trav. Are you sleep deprived? Don't just insult Wyoming without checking your facts first!! Maybe call Idaho stupid for not building the pipeline first so they get to pump greenhouse gases into the IDAHO air until it's built.. At least Wyoming is doing something productive with Idaho's pollution.
Do you think it's the Clinton Foundation that is holding this decision back? Bill gets paid huge sums for political influence. Do the Clintons want these amounts made public? Everyone else has jumped on an appointment from Obama... It's a huge pay cut and not the best road to the White House for her which is maybe her goal still.. I would love to see her as a Supreme Court Justice.
I hope you're feeling better. You're right about St. Anger and Black Ice though.. Good stuff
