Yea, that's right A&M made the news. Too bad I completely missed this happening and had no idea until it was in the school newspaper today. Too bad CNN didn't get there while they were still egging.

Got this invite to a workshop today maybe I should go:
"In most English speaking countries it is normal and necessary to make small talk in certain situation. It is sometimes considered rude to say nothing.

Big Help for Small Talks

Helps you to gain a better understanding of small talks, certain topics that people often discuss during these moments and knowing how to start a conversation "
I just found that amusing to read.

Also, USA ran a House marathon the other day. While I'm not a huge fan of the show it is entertaining. I was thinking of how to make a drinking game for watching. Here's what I have so far.

Take a drink every time one or more of the following happens:
-someone says the word "symptom" or "diagnosis"
-house gestures with his cane
-a bet is offered
-characters discuss how outrageous a patient's situation and/or diagnosis is
-the team considers the patient to simultaneously have two diseases/injuries/problems/etc.
-Hugh Laurie's Britishness shows (ex. wearing a scarf)
-House says something sexist
-House pops a pill or two or three
-House watches his daytime soap opera
-character's discuss House behind his back especially about him being a jerk or a brilliant doctor
-someone complains about the team not being able to figure out what is wrong or taking a long time

Finish your drink when the crappy ending song and montage play.

Any others? Note I tried to avoid the obvious things like drink every time House says something sarcastic. God, that never happens.

Random thoughts.

I think if I was the person to take the most craps on the third Tuesday of every month ESPN would consider it history making?

Sometimes I think Facebook is mocking me. All these targeted adds about being 22 and single.

When I first saw that new commercial where the lady says she just has one life and one body, the first thing I thought was "This commercial's offensive to Hindus."

Screw Twitter.

Yesterday morning as I walked to school this construction guy told me:

That's something that'll follow me for the rest of my life.

Battlestar Galactica

Thu, 28 Sep 2006 14:48:54 GMT

John and I are done with season 1. Anyone want dibbs on borrowing? Anyone care?
Also I found this in an Amazon review of the second season. I basically oulines reasons why this sereies is better than Star Trek, and I agree on every one.
*spoiler free*

Robert W. Moore (Chicago, IL USA) "The differences are manifold. STAR TREK features aliens; BATTLE STAR GALACTICA does not, though it does have robots. The Enterprise and all other space ships on the show have shields; neither Galactica nor any other ship has anything approximating a shield (you never hear a character yelling, "Shields down to 20 %!"). Weapons on STAR TREK emit pulses or rays; weapons on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA throw projectiles. Crew members don't fight on STAR TREK; much of the action on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA surrounds interpersonal conflicts and struggles among crew members. If a crew member gets stranded on a planet's surface on STAR TREK, they are beamed out; if a crew member gets stranded in BATTLESTAR GALACTICA they only survive if someone goes and gets them. On STAR TREK there is a magical reserve of everything, including smaller ships, equipment, fuel, and whatever; on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA they run out of crucial supplies, including fuel, water, food, and aircraft. On STAR TREK if someone is hurt you hold a healing beam over them and in a few minutes they are healed; if someone injures a knee on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, it takes weeks of healing and therapy to get over it. On STAR TREK none of the characters have serious personal problems; on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA characters struggle with depression, alcoholism, drug abuse, anger, sexual promiscuity, and a host of other problems. STAR TREK is famously optimistic about the future; BATTLESTAR GALACTICA struggles with the issue about whether the human race can survive and even whether it has a right to survive. On STAR TREK characters rarely make major mistakes; on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA even the strongest characters are flawed and make both errors of morality and errors of judgment. And none of this begins to get at the enormous difference in the narrative strategies of the two shows. For the most part the STAR TREK shows are episodic in structure (this is certainly true of the original series as well as STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION; both STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE 9 and STAR TREK: VOYAGER mixed some serial elements into the shows, though they still largely adhered to the episodic form). BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, however, is serial in structure, leaving a large amount of conflict unresolved each week and telling a long, involved story that only gradually reveals itself."
