A Monday done. Again.
Mostly because he attended a college that I'm supposed to hate, and because it seems to be that he's not done well for himself at all, I'm posting a link that says Maurice Calrett is going to jail for 3.5 years minimum, regarding his guilty plea to robbery and concealed weaponry offenses. The full sentence is 7.5 years, with the possibility of parole after 3.5 years. He'll add five years of probation on top of his sentence. Insert crude Big Ten School in Ohio joke here. Or something.
The pictures and sounds of V for Vendetta may be coming to a city near you, as surveillance cameras are outfitted with loudspeakers. Thus, those observing may now embarrass you in front of your friends or strangers by telling you to cease and desist. I do believe I just saw a large chunk of privacy being carted off - maybe the control operators saw who stole it so they can reprimand the culprit?
Got my summer internship assignment today - looks less like an imposing juggernaut and more like a mewling kitten. This is a good thing. Now I just have to find out when I'm presenting, and go find a nice little trend article and make a few slides. Hopefully, once done with that, six credits, huzzah, and I can go back to my other classes. Cataloging turns out to be a class that does better visually than aurally for me - listening to, and to some degree reading, the rules serves very little purpose other than to make my brains hurt. The templates, however, make it all make sense again, and so I think I'll be relying on those for the most part. I suspect this all has logical orderings and that the rules are supposed to make sense, and that if I were to do a few hundred of them a day, I'd probably pick them up faster, just having the occasional consultation and using the experience to teach rather than the ruleset. Ah, well. Can't always get what you want. And there will probably be plenty of practice to come in the class. I just need to either figure out how to translate it so that it makes sense. The other classes, so far, are making good sense and are quite the enjoyable ones. So it's all good, really.
AP photographers being held in Iraq without charge. Some for a small amount of time, some for much longer. I'm a little leery of this, since it's not from the AP website itself, which would make more sense. Can we get confirmation on whether local photographers in Iraq are routinely held as insurgents?

country-wide reality TV? Oh dear lord, please don't encourage that idea. Although..one can argue that he news is reality TV.
