Semi-randomness
Updating the journal because...I don't know. I guess I feel like I should. God knows I have enough time to do so one Tuesdays. I'm basically in the lab from eight to two-thirty--I don't have to be, but it makes sense considering my schedule, and hey, I need the hours. I also like the way everything looks so nice and clean and appealing on the monitors of the mac. It's like a clean blank space on a sheet of paper that just begs to be doodled on. I should scan one of my notebook covers later; it is a sight to behold. Not necessarily because I have mad skillz yo but because there's a loooot of doodling.
Speaking of scanners...uh, kinda...I really do need to install XP. 98 is still farting on my and giving stupid errors and problems, such as having to reinstall my scanner software every time I re-start the computer if I want to scan again. But my natural procrastination and paranoid tendencies do me in once again. It's not like I can't use the computer at all, so it's easy not to go through with the upgrade...plus I'm nervous about wiping my hard drive because re-installing everything would be a pain in the ass. Maybe I'll just upgrade first and see what happens. I need to clean my room, too. And work on these papers. And read these books. And get ready for Animarathon. And...argh, SO MUCH TO DO. Re: books, has anyone else read Italo Calvino's If On a Winter's Night a Traveler? I'm supposedly reading it now for fiction workshop. Supposedly because I find it to be full of horseshit and cannot read more than a page without wanting to hurl it at the wall. I refrain, though, because what did the wall ever do to me? It's just so full of pretention that I can't look around it to see if the plot or anything else about it is good. Feh.
Randomly, because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drcristin wanted to know, here is the story about Res Life finding cleavage offensive. (I didn't tell this, did I?) We used a picture of Excel from Excel Saga on the posters for our last screening. She's wearing a tight shirt and has cleavage, but her boobs aren't hanging out or anything. Actually, just see for yourself. Val took the posters to Res Life to be stamped with approval for posting in the dorms. The girl working the desk took the poster back, and...long story short(ish), it was strongly indicated that the person n charge of approval currently there was kind of old-fashioned and did not approve the poster because of Excel's cleavage.
There's more.
The very next day, Val and I were leaving Anderson on our way to class and what should we see but a Greek poster with girls in bikinis on it? Stamped by Res Life, of course. We were pissed. So Val went back to the office and it turned out that Greek Res Life does their own approval (whatever), but nonetheless we got ours approved anyway. Of course, by then it was really too late to get the RAs to post them, but we hung enough on campus that I didn't think it would matter. As it turned out, the screening attendance was really kind of pathetic, but I think that's more due to the people that pay lip-service to wanting an anime club but then never show up to our events. For Animarathon we've got a more demure image of Sakura Taco, our mascot, but I'm tempted to replace it with the ST in bondage gear that Neek drew just because.
And that is the story.
