And now a brief thing you will want to read (more so than my anthropology ramblings, anyway): I met Amanda's clone today. We were just sitting there at lunch, and they started simul-quoting The Emperor's New Groove (which they've also threatened to make me watch with them). Then Amanda started teaching her clone to sing "Final Countdown." I need to quickly discover the clone's weakness (Amanda's, incidentally, is fake ghetto-speak), so that we can create a situation of Mutually Assured Annoyance. I've already drafted a treaty banning irritation defense systems (aka earplugs). The treaty may be of questionable validity, however, if Amanda breaks up into 15 independent nations.
