Good News/Bad News

Good: I finished my Digital Electronics HW
Bad: I know that I did the first problem wrong (out of two problems)

Good: I finished my C++ project.
Good: We have the RITMRC ad all nice and ready to go for next week.

Bad: I think I'm losing yet more hair

Good: I get to watch My Own Private Idaho later this week.

Bad: We are out of Silk and so I skipped breakfast. I never skip breakfast. I think I will remain hungry for the duration of the day now, no matter what I eat.

Good: Will be picking up payment for Anime Club's ad today.

And now I break out of the list format. So I was thinking... Barenaked Ladies have a new album coming out October 19. Unfortunately their label, Warner Music, is in a terrorist organization, and Fearless Leader instructed me to not support terrorism. So I was thinking, I would just send each of the guys a $5 check as gratitude for their previous work. Include a letter listing my grievances with their label and my continued love of the band, if not their business dealings. Perhaps I will get their newest album when it comes out on the 19th. Without lining the RIAA's coffers.

What say you?

I wrote a term paper on My Own Private Idaho a few years back, after showing it to faboo and our other MA friends. Great film -- keep an eye out for the "campfire scene". It's completely River Phoenix's direction there.

I'm watching it for my Shakespeare class.

It's apparently all Henry IV, Part I

Well, there's a good bit of Henry IV in it. The plots do deviate a bit, and the reference is very post-modern -- a kind of cheeky, "yes, this is Shakespeare. So what!?"

Enjoy! :)

I want to hear how that turns out.
