Was drinking.

I met a Kuwaiti friend and had two (heavy) shots of Old Crow (probably about four-and-half or five shots, they pour heavy). I don't like to drink this early, but he wanted to meet after class. He was telling me that back when he was in Kuwait, you couldn't get bibles anywhere because of anti-proselytization laws, so whenever he and his parents were at hotels, he'd whip open the drawers to get at the Gideon bibles because to him they were like contraband, only he was always disappointed at how boring they were.

He was also telling me about how he went to the Yearly Kos convention because an Arab friend of his was sitting on some panel. He was saying that the name "John Edwards" was everywhere; people were always talking about him at panels, and if people you were talking to were talking about some candidate, they were always talking about John Edwards, though never for any particular reason. He also said that the convention was slightly more rainbow than you'd think, but absolutely everyone had a laptop, whether they were typing away on it or having it plugged in and charging.
