Ahhhhhh
i just wrote a really long post, then clicked some button and it all got erased. don’t you hate when that happens? man, i hate it.
in boring personal news, i’m skipping our informationless information session today, entitled “Plagiarism and Ethics”. i would go to the gym, but the school gym costs a whopping $60/mo so i’ve opted for walking as my only form of exercise, not to mention my only form of transportation. i walk about 10 miles a day, mostly out of necessity. the city center is a few miles down the road.
in political news, i read an article yesterday written by an american but published in a manchester newspaper that announced what all the dems are afraid to admit: kerry is going to lose. he’s going to LOSE! oh my good god, somebody do something! joe?
in documentary news, mohan gave me an interesting suggestion for my final film project:
you should do one on radical young conservatives. challenge the meaning of the word “radical”–does it really belong to the left? many people believe that the 1960’s was a time of radical leftism, but actually the opposite is true–many of the key players during the Reagan years were trained intellectually and developed during the 60’s. maybe you could find a small group, maybe even the young republicans club (I’ll let you borrow my “California is for Commies” and “I love Capitalism” t-shirts) and then do some background info.
my friends are so smart.
i’m still collecting ideas, though, so don’t be shy!
so, georg and george and beth will be happy to know, i’ve been successful at teaching myself Adobe Premiere Pro. before my camcorder got jacked, i digitized a tape’s worth of footage and have been editing as much as possible. now i’ve just gotta learn EncoreDVD and AfterEffects and InDesign and Illustrator and the entire Macromedia MX Suite, and i’ll have accomplished all my computer goals for the year. one step at a time…
as soon as i get internet at home (cough cough), i’ll upload an attractive little photo tour of my house. i knew that webcam would come in handy. and, once i join the amateur photographers group next tuesday, i’ll upload some actual photos of manchester in all its grey glory.
meanwhile, eat a burrito for me, ok people? i want everyone who reads this to eat a burrito today. thankyouverymuch.
