I-20, therefore I am

Welcome news from the new world...the I-20 form, which I thought was going to take 15 days to process, has been done and FedEx-ed to me in under a week. One fewer thing for me to worry about between now and my interview in Tokyo - big props to the fine people in the International Students and Scholars' Office at Columbia. I'll look into bringing the interview at the embassy forward now if possible, although with a 16 day wait time for an appointment and a busy couple of months coming up at work, it might be easier to leave it where it is. That'll also give me some time to prepare my answers to the questions...terrorism bad, democracy good, terrorism bad, democracy good...

Half-day at work today thanks to daikyu from Wednesday night, will probably clean my apartment and remove the beer cans left there after last night's poker session. The weekend sees an 80s party up country. With my taste in music, I should fit right in.

A good point. As the great man himself put it a few weeks ago,

"But Iraq has—have got people there that are willing to kill, and they're hard-nosed killers. And we will work with the Iraqis to secure their future." —Washington, D.C., April 28, 2005
