I knew you'd come around! I met a corporate lawyer tonight who was reading Wendell Berry, and when I asked her about it she said she also read Fast Food Nation, and then I told her about this great article about how most Americans think they either belong to or will some day belong to the wealthiest 1% of the population, and she was into that to. She told me to forward the article.
I'm gonna hit her up for money for land reform in brazil.Why?
spooky gave an explination. there is a thread somewhere in "the site" about it.
and as far as i'm concerned, it isn't really anyone's business but the sg's who are leaving and the staff. that's it.
and you're right, scooter, this isn't a cooperative. but i firmly believe that spooky, o, and missy have the best interests of teh site in mind. why wouldn't they?
So should I buy all my textbooks from the bookstore and charge them to finanical aid (but spend $100 more) or get them from half.com, save $100, and spend all the money that I have until financial aid comes?
Hmm, I think I would do the latter unless you're super broke. (And that goes double if the bookstore is owned by Barnes & Noble.) Although I admit that I might not do that.
Either that, or find an unethical grad student who comes up with flimsy pretexts to get desk copies. Something I imagine to be possible only hypothetically, of course.(Damn, where are those forms?)
I guess the honor comes from recommending a book instead of relaying a parallel issue from an episode of Buffy or 7TH Heaven. I like the titles of those books.. especially Identity Matters.
I'm not sure which Con Law it is... there are three of them and this is the one I haven't taken yet. I stopped committing the PGY4578-type nomenclatures and course titles about two or three years ago. I figured there's only so much room up top, and I shouldn't waste it with such stuff.
(althogh I do vaguely remember something about ConLaw: Rights and Liberty =)
Yes, "Riff Raff" is quite good...it's amusing, the British working-class accents are so thick throughout, it's actually subtitled...it's typical Loach fare, realistic, ensembled characers, massively political. Have you ever seen "Hidden Agenda?" It's interesting...Loach went to law school and always regretted not practising...he has said that it would have been less "self-indulgent" than making movies, and he would have ultimately been able to help people more directly...what do you think of that? I can see his point, but I think that cinema would be missing something overall without a piece of Loach's talent in the fabric...
My favorite song right now is "Remember Me" by Elak, a band (?) I've never heard of before, but it's on a "Hi Fidelity Lounge" compilation that a friend burned for me. I think it's quite pretty...as are you...
