    Red Dawn

    Watched the first 20min, turned it off. That was one of the worst movies I have ever not finished. I don't even know where to start, with the logistics of such an invasion, or the shameless pandering to irrational fear.

    [Epic music]Sunday Morning Culture

    YouTube - ‪Carl Orff: Carmina Burana‬‏ So everyone knows the main theme to this, but the highlight of the piece IMHO is the Soprano solo near the one hour mark. YouTube - ‪Verdi: Requiem‬‏ I had the good fortune to sing this with the WSO et al. Obvious highlight is the Dies Irae and Tuba Mirum.

    Paging Togo

    I notice you haven't been crowing quite so much about Harper since it appears that the NDP are about to hit him with a giant orange bus. You're not a closet dipper, are you?

    Vermont Logging Trucks in Space

    So I write scifi in what little spare time I have. No, I'm not an english major. I haven't taken any creative writing classes or anything, I just enjoy it, and here is an offering for TW to critique/destroy. This would not be hard science fiction, as I have no education in hard sciences...

    [Philosophy] John Stuart Mill

    Just reading Utilitarianism for an ethics paper. I love philosophy, but this is fucking dry. I'd rather be reading Hume, Kant or even Descartes. Mill is far too wordy.

    Cults of Personality{some thoughts}

    I woke up today, and figured, what the heck, let's start Easter weekend with some light heresy. So I just finished watching Downfall with my wife, and I was quite impressed, both with the quality of the film, and the level of historical fidelity which was displayed, in comparison to standard...

    Parking Tickets

    So I've got a sandy vag. I got two parking tickets in a week for not having a pass displayed, even though it clearly was. I can't really appeal, but I can ask for a review, which I have done in email form: As the subject line indicates, my parking pass seems to have little effect on whether...
