Foo Words: Dilemma

Di-lem-ma:
noun

1. A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives
2. A difficult situation or a problem
3. An argument forcing an opponent to choose either of two unfavorable choices

For ex., should I go to see the Rage Against the Machines show at Randall's Island or go visit my friends from high school and college down in Myrtle Beach next week?

Considering:
a. The Rage Against the Machines, a political funk rock band from the late 90's, is back together -- after being defunct for the foreseeable future -- for THREE dates this summer, two of them at Randall's Island July, 28-29, 2007,
b. My friends Akk, Goose, and Idan have been living in Myrtle Beach for two months Summer Interns for CVS Pharmacy. They leave July 30, 2007.

This is a dilemma.
