crappy day

Most annoying thing all day: Stupid diploma deptartment or whatever is saying that I can't get my Art minor because I don't have enough classes. Um, no, I don't think so. I went over this with the Head of Academic Advisement at the art major meeting and she said I was fine and would graduate with honors. Now this hag is telling me that I have to see my department Secretary to contact my advisor to see if it would be okay. Argh! I hate this place!

Erm. Well... didn't do much tonight. Watched the first CD of the Fellowship Extended Edition ('cause I watched the film and then the cast commentary). The cast commentary is a little strange, because it seems like they were all recorded in groups.. well, actually all individually except for the hobbits who are always together anyway ^_^* Still cool, though. Billy & Dom are hilarious. I liked the part where they talked about games they made up while on shoot and how they got Elijah to think that Tig was a real game. *hee*

After that, I spent half an hour trying to get my DVD player to play the first disc of The 10th Kingdom so I could watch the Making Of... with the bloopers ^_^ I still heart Scott Cohen. All I need to do now is figure screencapturing off the DVD so I can make fun icons and wallpapers *g*

Things to do by Monday:
+ Personal Law presentation
+ rewrites for the movie
+ call/visit Academic Advisement
+ work on clay sculpture
+ write RP post
+ update Golden Nox
+ develop site for CSCI 200 (once the database works...)

I know there's more.. I just can't remember it right now. Time for bed. Nighty night!

Neo-Nazism?

Things I learned in Chemistry today:

Peter Singer, the Chair of Bioethics at Princeton is a huge supporter of animal rights, environmental conservation, and lost family during the Holocaust. When he gives lectures in Germany, he is booed off stage, but in the Western world, he is seen as a great academic philosopher. Wanna know what his views are? He believes that infants are not people because they are not self-aware and therefore, parents have the right to terminate a child's life up to the age of 30 days. Also, he believes that the mentally and physically disabled have no rights and it is more human to put them out of their misery because their quality of life could never improve.

In other amusing news: A couple are married and want children later, but want to focus on their careers, so they have their embryos frozen. The couple divorce, but the wife decides she wants the child anyways. She goes to the clinic or wherever and is implanted. She has the baby and promptly sues the ex-husband for child support. The court judge decides that the ex-husband is not the biological father of this child - the technician who implanted her is. Therefore, that technician is responsible for paying child support. No word on whether the technician was a man or a woman.

Weirdness in our world.

In relevant news: I got the asp to read the database, but I'm still having problems with the information. Argh.
