what�s the matter with you people?
Some people, my roomate for instance, have accused me of being lazy and not posting often enough to my blog. To him I have a few sweet little words of advice that have really meant a lot to me in the past, these words are, �Stuff It!� If I wanted your opinion I�d give it to ya! Rodney, my roomate (for now), has just come upon a great revelation! If you turn the knob on our door it opens easier! What an age of wonders we live in.
My second class today was blissfully short, but not because the teacher intended it. Shahram (my Visual Basic prof) gave us the semester teacher evaluation sheets today. Before leaving the room to let us fill them out we asked if we could leave right after we finished the evaluations. Sometimes teachers let everyone go after evaluations, but this was at the beginning of class and since our final is Thursday we suspected he might want to talk at us some more. His answer was completely indefinate, he said both yes and no without clarifying. So we didnt press the issue any further. After we finished filling out the forms everyone just got up and left. All of his stuff was still sitting up there on the desk so it�s possible he actually wanted to continue class, but noone was there when he got back so I figure we just forfeited class and let him have an hour off too.
I watched Master and Commander last night. It was interesting in the way that a History Channel documentary is interesting. I�ll sit there and watch it for 2 hours once, but I doubt I could sit through it again. The movie is pretty interesting if you are even remotely interested in naval warfare, which I am. Yet, I can see how this was a case of �Wow, this book is great! Let�s make a movie from it and it will be great too!� Unfortunately it doesn�t always work out. Sometimes plots and characters that bring a great book to life just don�t transition well to film. Not all great books should be made into movies, despite the true awe inspiring success of the Lord of the Rings movies.
