I weep for my demographic... or maybe that's the tears of pain as I thump my head against the bulletin board and hit a pushpin.

I haven't even had my first class here yet...

I read in the national post this morning that a 76 year old man attacked Marcel Duchamp's Fountain with a hammer.

I also read that this was the second attack he'd made. The first time, he'd peed on it.

... that man is a hero.

In other news, I think I might like it here.

In Sociology, I spent fifteen minutes marvelling at instructor's lovely accent (Ghana) in a very big room. No essays. The only thing that worries me is that I may get to the exams, see the multiple choice format, and scream, "AGH! The Test Format From The High School Lagoon!"

In Historical Context Lit, the instructor told us to call him D.K., told a late arrival wearing a Leafs t-shirt to get out, directed us to watch Bedazzled as a precursor to Goethe's Faust, and then let us out. Gotta love that historical context... somewhere.

In Post-Colonial Lit, we watched about twenty minutes of The Mummy. No, really. It was great. If I can swing a term paper about the portrayal of post-colonial stereotypes in pop culture and the commodification to conform to more modern gender roles (not to mention bastardization of historical fact) on those that movie and its sequel, then I swear by Oded Fehr's sexy sexy voiceover that I will see it done. And I will hand it in with a smile on my face, go out to the hallway, and laugh... and laugh...

Hell, maybe I'll add dhaunea as a collaborator and hand in half of the plan_9_from_lj review.

Now I need to go buy books.

And count the days until I get that $400 cheque from the province-whose-ruling-body-I-would-kick-for-every-other-reason-but-this.

Bored bored bored bored...

I'm very, very bored. I'm waiting for a ride home in a University that has no comic book store, no arcade, no wireless cafe...

... and no email stations that allow you to sit down.

So I rummage through LJ and take the first survey I find because I haven't done one of those in a long time and I feel like answering silly questions.

( Survey says I'm hungry... )

Stop me. Please. I beg.

No, I'm not an attention whore begging to be saved... I just never did this when it first rolled around. Yes, that's it.

Comment naming a fandom that you know I know. I'll scandalously reveal:

1. The first character I first fell in love with.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer.
6. The character I would shag anytime.
7. The character I'd want to be like.
8. The character I'd slap.
9. A pairing that I love.
10. A pairing that I despise.
