The Great Indoors
Just got back today from a camping trip. Yeah, it was really cold when we left but fear not, Chris’s parents own an RV. He invited me to go out to Branched Oak with him and his parents for easter weekend since everyone else would be gone. So, yeah, it’s not really what I would call camping, there was a nice kitchen a pull-out sofa bed and TV, DVD player, shower, kitchen table, lights, carpet, heat and A/C, oh and let’s not forget the PS2 that we brought along to play Champions: RTA on. Oh, except for the fact that Chris’s craptacular PlayStation will only load the disc once every decade. So, in a word camping in an RV rocked. It was more like vacation and less like a return to primitive existance.
What else is happening? Becca is still in Israel, she will be gone until next weekend. I’ve called her twice this last week using Skype it only costs like 4 Eurocents per minute to call there, which is really nice. I don’t think Ive gotten a really fair sample of Skype’s quality but the calls have been a little buggy. Actually they worked fine the first time, the second time it kept dropping my signal. I could hear Becca fine, she just had trouble hearing every 3rd word I said. Hopefully when I call her tomorrow our connection is better. Apparently you can buy services that turn your skype account into a regular land-line phone account with Voicemail and a local calling number for many city’s in the US.
I have my 12-15 page paper due Friday in Communications Law. I have barely even started it. But, I did get a lot of reading done this weekend while I was away, so now I can really start just letting the ideas flow. Becca wrote a similar paper for her comm law class a couple years ago, so I plan on using a lot of the information she gathered for her paper. I will probably not take the same stance that she did, I’ve always been a bit of a trouble maker with issues like copyright infringement on the web.
