silveradept | And work begins anew.

Sucks not really having a weekend, yaknow. But at least the work was light and not bogging me down in things. Although, that may have had something to do with the placement of the reference desks. Anyway.

Things went a tad sour for

annaonthemoon's quest for housing, and so there's a slight "panic mode" going on - hopefully she finds and can confirm on something acceptable to her and the cat. She's found most of the things that she wants to have in the area, at least, so if she can nail down a base of operations, I think she'll do fine.

Also, she bought me an IKEA bookcase and set it up today, for which I gave her recompense. I now have most of my books and animation on shelves again. Hopefully it disassembles well when I need to move. I suppose it won't be too bad of a furniture gain, and it'll be useful to either me or little brother, when we both head off to our respective next steps.

Two months to the end of the summer, and then from there, two semesters to the end of the road, barring failure at any point. That seems a ways away, but it's not. It's not. And then, well, we find out whether six years of my life in this town is worth anything at all.

For those of you who watch Labyrinth with any religiosity... or remember anything about it other than David Bowie in tight pants, you might want to read Cherie Priest's analysis of its sexual overtones. You might still think the same way about David Bowie in tight pants, but you might see the movie in a different light. Read the comments, too.

On the freedomfreedom side, it looks likeHomeland Security wants to label the press as traitorous and prosecute them for doing their job. A potential invasion of privacy, using secret databases that track money movement. The N.Y. Times reported on this, and the government wants them to be prosecuted. Apparently, when confronted with evidence of secret things that could harm the American public, the papers should quietly shunt it away because the government wants to keep it secret. So when people break into the Watergate hotel in an election year, we're not supposed to know about it, I guess. Who knew that a free press could be charged for doing their job?

Short, sweet, and to the point - also, work tomorrow. So bed now.
