merrycaepa> Seen outside the housing office:
> The caf did not suck again, today! Something involving fish and dirty rice. I'm getting suspicious. The food's never good two days in a row.
> I managed to derail a discussion of Kant in Enlightenment & Critics for five minutes today by bringing up The Matrix. Given that the prof's a bit of a steamroller, I'm kind of proud of that (note: I'm not an authority on either subject, but I enjoy making professors periodically wander back into the realm of the Vaguely Applicable).
> My class notes tend to be about 50% comprehensible at the best of times, but somewhere in a section about how Kant favored the idea that everyone could (eventually, slowly) achieve enlightenment, I have "I AM A BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL! I AM A DESTROYER OF WORLDS! I AM HARRY FUCKING POTTER!" scribbled in the margin. I think I'm turning into that girl in my high school English class who only ever talked about Hamlet in terms of The Lion King, although it must be admitted that her points were valid.
> Helped the WGS department stuff envelopes related to this year's events for about twenty minutes this afternoon. Also got a look at the posters. They have me listed as the director for Any One of Us. Zomg I guess it's official and actually happening. Note to self: don't fuck up. I'll be breathing into a paper bag, if you need me.
> The slacktivist has a moving entry on activism, and why community rejection of hate is so necessary. Post is here. And from the comments:
> I want these rooms. Although the inevitable dust could be problematic.
> "Scott Pilgrim vs. The Matrix" Just...go watch it. Although now it has me wanting to watch The Matrix now. Dang. That's inconvenient. In a smackdown between Trinity and my French homework, I think Trinity's going to take it.
"LAST DAY TO CHANGE MEAL PLANS IS

Gosh, it's like they know us.

"The Homosexual Lifestyle," at least as far as I see it in this area: go to work, go home, feed & play with the pets, watch some TV, go to sleep. On weekends, maybe go out to dinner with friends.
Oooo, scary.
(A friend of mine likes to pull out his planner at lunch, and say, "The gay agenda for the afternoon is...fifty pages of In Cold Blood and two pages of statistics. Oh, and I'm out of laundry detergent. Anyone want to run me to Target?"
