One more essay in the bag. I wrote about brainwashing, for my creative writing class. It was very interesting, and perhaps slightly related to my major project for the class. But who knows for sure until it’s finished? I visited professor Donaldson in his office to talk about the essay and he had the coolest profoffice I have yet seen …not that I have seen particularly many, at all. Actually I think this was my first as all the ones from first year were merely TA offices, but I digress. Anyway it was a small room, with a nice window overlooking the esteemed and iveyed oldness that is University Hall, and then all the walls were covered completely by healthily packed bookshelves. Then there was a little table lamp that cast a gentle, inoffensive yellow glow all about. It was a bit like one might expect a study to appear many tens of years ago. The only reason I mention this, is because upon observing this scene, I remarked to myself now this must be the most ideal place to get work done! Everything is good and right with the world. If I have the means to make such a workspace, I may take a page (or a room, haha) from Dr Donaldson, provided I remember, which is perhaps unlikely.
My CD reviewing for the Silhouette is facing a problem. Largely that I gave Josh Ritter’s album 4 stars, and Flogging Molly’s 3.5 stars. Probably should have been 4.5 and 3, because every CD I have tried to review since then has been better than Flogging Molly, but not better than Josh Ritter therefore stuck at 4 stars. Admittedly this has only been 2 albums so far, but I can see it happening a lot more. So I am faced with a dilemma and my journalistic integrity is on the line! Maybe I should just throw in the towel and quit while I’m ahead. It’s not like they’re paying me. Plus the winning mix CD had all sorts of artists that the average person has heard of.. what’s with that? I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised.
Tomorrow (that being Friday) I go to see Controller.Controller and The Organ at The Underground, which should prove to be a rollicking good time, but will surely not match the rollicking inherent in the first rehearsal of Romeo and Juliet which is set to take place the following day.
