Day: March 7, 2003

Through the magic of my boss finally installing Adobe Acrobat on our two computers, the first five six issues of this semester’s Completely Different (the newsletter of the Penn State Monty Python Society) are now online in PDF format. If it has my name attached, I wrote it. If it has no name attached, I wrote it. If it has an obviously fake name attached (like Jojo Monkeyboy), I wrote it. Just so you have an idea of what I am writing when I should probably concentrate on other things.

I’m worried that this isn’t satire. This, of course, is just plain stupid, since its basic argument could be used to justify any action.

These letters would upset me so much — it’s a student newspaper after all — if I didn’t see much of the same thing repeated in the rest of the nation’s news.

Once again, the Friday Five:

1. What was the last song you heard? “I’ll Never Tell” from Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More, with Feeling

2. What were the last two movies you saw? I haven’t updated the movie reviews in the sidebar in quite awhile, have I? I’ll have to remedy that. Last two I saw were Re-Animator (delightfully awful) and Erik the Viking (just plain awful).

3. What were the last three things you purchased? Besides food or drink? Farscape Season 2 (Volume 5) on DVD, Surfacing by Sarah McLachlan, and the Places Rated Almanac by David Savageau.

4. What four things do you need to do this weekend? Clean my apartment, update my weblog and other parts of the site, update my resume, continue learning Quark.

5. Who are the last five people you talked to? My boss, someone calling to talk with him yesterday, one of the graduate students at the lab, one of the staff assistants down the hall, one of the other professors in the building.
