So Finals week is almost over for me; my last project is due Thurs. by 5pm. But this afternoon I needed a break - to get outside and breathe some. So I decided to ride down to Powells and use the gift card that someone so kindly gave to me. I just happened to be trying to cross the Steel bridge when the first of the ships came in for the Rose Festival, a fun coincidence. An enjoyable bike ride. And a successful trip to the bookstore (books by Jameson and Wendell Berry). It worked.
Also, while fixing dinner I heard the good news that Portland has met the first goal of the Kyoto Protocal. Portland is the only city (hopefully just the first) in America to do so. It makes me proud to live in Portland knowing that this city is taking the Prorocal and global warming seriously, even though the nation is not.
Okay, Back to the school work.
Archive for June 8th, 2005That’s right, a Simpsons Movie is not in production. Such a beast has long been rumored, but has now been confirmed. This show has been an enormous cultural influence; and, given that it had ten million viewers last season, it is still going strong after 16 seasons. My mother still will not let me watch the Simsons (but I do anyway) reflecting a once-popular view that the show promoted questionable values, even though it is now commonly considered to be the most religious show in television(1, 2, 3). |
