I watched two movies this weekend, Monster's Ball and Bourne Identity. The first didn't do a great job of getting its point across, and was filled with multiple plot-convenient coincidences, although the acting was good. The second had its fun points but was very quiet for an action movie, and occasionally the actors didn't seem quite sure of their motivations.

I had the first two of four meetings about my thesis preliminary draft today. It looks like things should be smooth sailing from here on out, since the only points that were discussed involved formatting and clearing up performance notes.

True Anagrams:

  • The United States Bureau of Fisheries >> I raise the bass to feed us in the future
  • "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." - Neil A. Armstrong >> A thin man ran, makes a large stride, left planet, pins flag on moon! On to Mars!
  • The hospital ambulance >> A cab, I hustle to help man
  • A domesticated animal >> Docile, as a man tamed it
  • Why shouldn't America go re-elect President Clinton in Ninety-Six? >> He has a prime or cunning tendency to wildly solicit Internet sex.
  • Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math, that doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the universe. [Kurt Vonnegut] >> A masquerade can cover a sense of what is real to deceive us; to be unjaded and not lost, we must, then, determine truth.
  • There is only one thing worse than being talked about and that is not being talked about. [Oscar Wilde] >> Wilde died broken, beaten 'n' total nut. Hate being sunk in that rotten gaol. Shh, gay is taboo.
  • To be or not to be: that is the question, whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. >> In one of the Bard's best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.
