Hey everybody. This is what I did today.
I got up at a reasonable hour, ate breakfast (oatmeal doused with hot hot horchata… good mix) and went to my three classes: Concepts in Politics, The Space Age Solar System, and International Cyberpunk. Returned to my room to read a bit for my classes. I’ve been working a lot of the day researching the early 1600s in order to discover what would have happened if the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 had succeeded and Guy Fawkes had blown Parliament to smithereens, including King James I. Interesting results, it turns out, but not what you’d expect. Connor and I watched Robot Chicken, then we scrounged for food (Jasmine Rice & Vegetables mixed with Thai Noodles and crackers with hummus). After that we decided to watch Being John Malkovitch. What a fascinating film. Spike Jonze… the guy invented that name, abandoning his given name. Something like that seems to me cool and yet unrespectful at the same time. Connor showed Flywrench to our neighbours.
Saturday tomorrow. Probly need to pick up some groceries but who knows what else I’ll do. I need to read Gibson’s Neuromancer by Monday… I should get crackin’ at that as soon as I finish the last 100 pages of Stirling’s Conquistador. I was supposed to call my family today but forgot to. I feel bad about that.
