The War in Iraq-Effects on Aggregate Demand

30 April, 2007 · Leave a Comment

From my Economics textbook, Understanding Modern Economics (2005), by Roger LeRoy Miller,

Nonetheless, some argue that the war in Iraq in 2003, once it was certain we were going to win, caused the aggregate demand curve to shift outward to the right.

Boldface mine.  Just some food for thought.

Moved from Blogger to WordPress. You should come play, too. Over the next few days, I will be playing around with format stuff, and what have you. It will be cool, I promise.

Power Outage

18 April, 2007 · 1 Comment

Power went out early Monday morning (I woke up at 5:30, and no power, not sure when exactly). There were several trees down in the campground, one taking the front end off of a trailer. A power line was (and still is) lying across my driveway. You probably don’t want to know how I get in and out, it’s not pretty. We still have no power, I have not had a shower since Saturday, and I am unsure as to when power will be restored. Hooray. Later, I will be posting the first draft of my literature review on gender identity in second language learning, however, this is a first draft, and I wrote it one hour before it was due, so it is rough. Second draft will be much better, I promise.

Final San Francisco Post

10 April, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Back in crumby ol’ New Hampshire. My last day of SF, I walked around Haight-Ashbury for a while, had breakfast over there (the last meal I ate for well over a day, thank you very much crappy airport food), and then hopped the BART over to Oakland Airport. I will now describe my flight back. Loud teeny-boppers, screaming baby, plane is late, stupid racist, irony, middle school field trip, kicking my seat, wow, she snores really loud, missed the bus (because the plane was late), SLOWEST BUS DRIVER EVER, no parking in Plymouth (even though it was 10am on a Monday!!), coffee, HUB, grocery shopping, BEST LUNCH EVER (boy was I hungry), BEST SHOWER EVER (I was stinky!). Then, I sat around and did nothing, until I went to bed. The end.

San Francisco Post 4

8 April, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Well, Friday I went walking around the city. Walked down Mission St to Castro, explored there and Mission District. Walked through Tenderloin, and over to Union Square. That is quite a contrast, there. Then, at night, I went out to a gay bar, then a regular bar, only to realize, it doesn’t matter, unless I know people there, I probably won’t enjoy myself too much (they were both fun, but come on, you need to know people to have a really great time. Today, I took a walk back to Mission to eat at Herbivore (Ananda Fuara is closed now, for two weeks). After that, I hopped the BART out to Orinda to visit some family. Had a good time, got to meet my youngest cousin. Tomorrow, I have a few hours more to look around, then I’m off to Oakland Airport to fly home. I will smell much better when I can get a shower on Monday. What do you have to say?
