Well, today was long and good for the last day of classes this term.
I met with mark in the LSC and did the assignment… passed it in, studied for the test and hung out with the regulars.
Then I went to the test… Lets just say I roxed it! 😉 I knew almost everything on it, except for a couple obscure short answer questions. I’m confident I got an A. Woo for my mad myth skillz. Just wait until next term when I can write about my name sake, I’ll really dominate then. 😉
“…illusions are evil…”
Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental
hospital. One day
while they were walking past the hospital swimming
pool, Jim
suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the
bottom of
the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in
to save him.
She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.
When the medical director became aware of Edna’s
heroic act
he immediately ordered her to be discharged from the
hospital,
as he now considered her to be mentally stable.
When he went to tell Edna the news he said, “Edna, I
have good
news and bad news. The good news is you’re being
discharged;
since you were able to rationally respond to a
crisis by jumping
in and saving the life of another patient, I have
concluded
that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad
news is, Jim
the patient you saved, hung Himself with his
bathrobe belt in
the bathroom. I am so sorry, but he’s dead.”
Edna replied, “He didn’t hang himself, I put him
there to dry.”
“Now… How soon can I go home?”
I’m currently bidding on the Ninja High School Text Book on ebay. I have been reading evey issue that I can find since I was 11 or 12 and I would love to get it and the second “text book” so that I can slowly collect the entire story. I have a lot of the early issues (# 1, 2 and a few more) but the gaps would be so nice to fill in. NHS is the longest running manga in North American… It really is a great story. I sooo want the text book. 600 pages of comics 🙂 The second is $50, though, so I’ll have to wait to get it.
At 6:00 Nathan and I are going to The Oxford to see Bowling For Columbine. I watched the clips on http://www.bowlingforcolumbine.com last night and the film looks great!
“Bowling for Columbine” is an alternately humourous and horrifying film about the United States. It is a film about the state of the Union, about the violent soul of America. Why do 11,000 people die in America each year at the hands of gun violence? The talking heads yelling from every TV camera blame everything from Satan to video games. But are we that much different from many other countries? What sets us apart? How have we become both the master and victim of such enormous amounts of violence? This is not a film about gun control. It is a film about the fearful heart and soul of the United States, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to have the right to a constitutionally protected Uzi.
“Bowling for Columbine” was the first documentary film accepted into competition at the Cannes Film Festival in 46 years. The Cannes jury unanimously awarded it the 55th Anniversary Prize. From a look at the Columbine High School security camera tapes to the home of Oscar-winning NRA President Charlton Heston, from a young man who makes homemade napalm with The Anarchist’s Cookbook to the murder of a six-year-old girl by another six-year-old, “Bowling for Columbine” is a journey through America, and through our past, hoping to discover why our pursuit of happiness is so riddled with violence.
