As you can see it is past 3am, which usually isnt a problem, except that I work in 5 hours. Unfortunatly, Maggies mom's car was dead downtown, so we had to go jump it. Boo for 4- hours of sleep. Birthday, Aniversary, Gift-giving event, or just a gift to yourself in your near future? You might want to take a look at this. So service Pack 1 for XP is out now, and I got to download it, because I bought my version of Windows 
Gandhi put me in a bad mood. Not for his inspiring philosophies or his movement for world justice, but rather, for his DVD. I spent almost 3 hours tonight going to a total of 8 Blockbusters/Hollywood videos trying to rent this film for my junior seminar class. In doing this....I thought of a few things. Granted, they gave us about 3 weeks to view this film, but there is 60 of us who are required to watch this. Now, there are 8 blockbusters/hollywood videos within 30 mins of Regis as I found out tonight. Rentals go for a week these days, so we will say that each person had the flick for an average of 3.5 days (1/2 the time of the rental) and each store had but one copy available, even tho all of them were rented out. Now, 3.5 x 60 = 210 days divided by 8 rental stores = 26 days. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are only 21 days in 3 weeks, plus that would only work if everything went as planned. Anyhow, I was pissed. The second thing is that I cant stand how Hollywood Video organizes their videos. They have Drama, Classics, Academy Award Films...where the hell do I look? They might as well add "Movies That Were Filmed" and "Movies That Were In Movie Theatres" sections. Third, I couldn't call the stores, because they were all busy (friday night) that I would be on hold forever, then they told me they didn't carry it. I would ask them how they spelled it and they would say G-a-n-d-i. Hopeless they were. Anyhow, I ended up buting it on DVD for 18 bucks. Crap. Dean has so far, peed on my rug, Chewed on my sheets, chewed on the sleve of my shirt, and eaten so many little things off the ground that I didn't even know existed. P.S. see if you see my new banner at the top and tell me if you like it. How are you doing?
