Updates updates updates on thursday thursday thursday........

ho shit. well, Im finally done with work as of yesterday. and looking back on it, the hours of my life wasted to paid slavery dosent seem too bad. i might go back to work there next summer if i dont get a job at Keebler (which is right next door to rubbermaid. if i got in there, i would wear elf ears everyday to work. no fucking joke.). So i have a good two weeks before school starts to organize my shit. So, without shame I am going to list books i need here in an attempt to bum them off of any of you who has something i might need. In exchange I promise my unfailing charm and encourage you to list what you need and If i have something on that list Ill let you know.
1)STARTING OUT W/C++,FROM CONTROL...-W/CD (2008 ed) by Tony "my books cost way too much" Gaddis
2)SCRIBNER ANTHOLOGY OF CONTEMP.SHORT... (2007 paperback) "cant write my own stories so im gonna composite others" Willford
3)Norton Anthology of short fiction (2005 paperback) by Richard "hey that Willford had a good idea there..." Bausch
4) Racial and Ethnic Groups (Hardcover, 2007) by Richard T. "if only i actually wasn't a white rich male i could pretend my book wasnt hypocritical" Schaefer
5)The McDonaldization of Society 5 (Paperback, 2007) by George Ritzer (sorry, this one actually sounds good)
6)SOCIOLOGY,BRIEF INTRO.-W/6 AUDIO ABR.CD by Richard "jesus Id hate to see the unabridged version of this" Schaefer

yea, so if anyone has these, a comment here, a text, whatever so i dont have to spend an unchristly amount of money. I actually think if i go to the book store this year as i buy the book i will give them a picture of a homeless person and say "this mans life is ruined by debts accumulated from buying your books. he eats his own shit. I hope your happy." and then leave.

Also, i plan to see Star Wars the Clone Wars tonight but will buy my ticket at the door tonight at midnight. lets see how well that goes...

Finally got around to watching firefly. I really like it. alot. serenity kinda sucked though. not bad but it felt like i blacked out and woke up months later and nothing was explained and was squashed together from three tv shows. Joss Whedon definitely needed more work. Or possibly a continuity editor (Continuity Editor: "umm Mr Whedon sir, I dont know if you noticed this, but you cant just dump off Shepard into the "Abbey" when the only other mention of it was in one line from four episodes ago. Also, Why did you give him cornrows? Oh, and Mr Whedon, where did those two guys with blue gloves go? Because this Lamarr Burton wanna-be with a sword just dosent work out. Half the cast hums the reading rainbow theme every time he says a line. I just dont see any chemistry here..."
Whedon: "I'M DRUNK ON MY OWN EGO GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE OR I WILL RIP YOUR LEGS OFF AND FEED THEM TO MY TWIN PET CARNIVOROUS GIRAFFES RAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

In other news, i finally have a solid idea for a book that ive accumulated from all the other ideas and half baked schemes that i call writing so i plan on fuddling around with that when i can. However, it does not involve carnivorous giraffes. shame.Im learning the harmonica. dont know if i mentioned that. also got my hair cut today. its shorter than ive had it for a while. about the same length of fifes when he first got his cut. its just much curlier. and i wash it more. yea...so, hope you are all having a good time. i plan on seeing you again soon. (assuming fife will visit us at BG) and also want to mention that i heard from Bri that Pete said guns will be allowed on certain parts of campus for BG UNDEAD which is better than no guns. so lets hope things turn out well. Later lobbyists.

Wish I could say I had the C++ book, but I don't. Never bought it because I didn't feel like spending the money.
I do, however, have all of my old programs saved.
Paul is in that class too, I think. You guys could split the price and share, if you really feel you need the book.

The others are completely foreign.

And a halfhearted wooo for the firefly.
