I am reading all about America's containment policy against the Soviet Union during the Cold War, it is in some ways highly entertaining. I mean US policy makers were crazily paranoid about Russia, and saw it as incredible when it comes to 'clarity of strategic vision', surely they must have had better spies??

What made me laugh out loud however is this:

“We must be CONSTANTLY VIGILANT lest we fall into a trap” US secretary of state Dulles warned in May 1953

Ahahahah, oh dear, this is brilliant, why hello Mad Eye Moody!

Have to read a whole book before tonight, and then one more and then essay, boo, but at least it is better than philosophy.

A question

Whee! I finally got my year DVD (We couldn't afford having a year book and so have a DVD with pics instead...For those of you in the US, here year books are not the norm, so I'm pretty pleased we actually have something.) the photos on it are not half bad even if some of the names and things are messed up and some people are missing. I quite like my picture, but because it is on a DVD I can't save it or anything, so I have a question:

How do you take screen caps??? Do you need some special programme or is it really simple?

Also, despite the rocky start, my driving lesson rocked today. I drove really fast on a dual carriageway and even overtook lorries! *wins*

*offers chocolate as a way to distract from post's pointlessness*

:D
