Homework update...

I have finished my CW1 (College Writing 1) homework and I think I've finished my philosophy paper. I say 'think' because tomorrow I may want to scrap the whole thing. I ended up gutting a whole section this morning because it just didn't live up to the assignment. I had explained Aristotle's POV but I had used my own language and my own metaphors instead of the actual facts as the book lays them out. So I scrapped it and rewrote the section. I am much more pleased with this round, having brought up issues and proved them using verifiable quotes. The grammar and spelling is spot on (thank you, Spellcheck) and after reading it, I must say it made sense. Now for the test...

Mom is going to read it tomorrow. She has a great eye for editing and a superior head for abstract thought. I'll let her take it for a spin and see what she thinks. I also ended the work in a way that lets the reader understand that these 2 guys didn't exist in a vacuum. They were influenced by those before them, which I state at the beginning, and in turn, influenced those that came after. I really hope it's good enough. I think that it shows that I have done the reading and understand the concepts that the author(s) put forth. If it passes the first test, I'll email it tomorrow afternoon and have it in early...

If I chewed my nails they'd be raw.

So I start watching 'Dark Shadows' on Tuesday. There are about 17 4-disc collections, so it will take me far longer to watch all of them than it took to watch the the X-Files. I figure I'll be going well into 2006 with this round. For some reason it just seems better to use NetFlix for this kind of viewing. There really isn't much out there that I want to watch, although I did watch D.E.B.S. the other night and found it a charming, funny, send-up of the typical spy vs. spy movie with a positive and healthy lesbian love theme. There was no gratuitous male oriented lesbo-porno garbage, and as it was directed by a lesbian, ended with our happy couple riding off into the sunset together. One funny scene, and there were many, was when the former boyfriend of the girl who finds out she's gay says that it's OK, because "that lesbian thing is really hot" and the girl gives him this look that says "wow, what a creep!" Very cool flick.
Oh yeah, then there's "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle"---very funny, again. So I guess there are some good movies out there after all...


Whodda thunk it?
