Woah! I could probably pull of the first 4 or 5, minus the Cantonese, and it'd be something other than wrestling, as I don't watch it. Maybe I could play computer games too. Right now I'm talking over the phone, and over ICQ, and typing this email, and playing Civ II, so I'm not doing to badly. I've got a good year or two before college to figure out how to incorporate more tasks at once. -- Robert
