whistle while you work.

and what a lot of work to do! Right now I’m juggling three essays. Isn’t that wonderful. But yes, I know, if you’re in school you’re in the same boat. I empathize. I have a feeling that something is going to get dropped and soon. Especially seeing as only one of the aforementioned essays has been started … well you know that means I’ll be pretty damned busy.

Tomorrow is good Friday! Get out your palm branches and go to church ye Christians. Ah. The joys of being a heathen. :) Not like I’ll be having fun.

My beloved Lakers are really in the shit-hole. It’s maddening. I think they should just lose all the rest of their games and forget about this year. Cause, it ain’t happening. Try to get lucky in the draft or something. Hurts to think that Shaq may repeat now that D-Wade is coming back…

My other favorite thing, Apple computer, has gone and done a good thing. They announced a few days ago that they will soon start selling EMI music without DRM. In my marketing class, the prof singled them out and said, “iTunes is a monopoly!” Of course, he was refering to the iTunes DRM wrapper that’s put on every 99 cent wonder you get from the store. Now that it isn’t there, are they a monopoly? Frankly, I don’t think that they ever were, its not like people couldn’t buy CD’s… Any way, a good little article for you to read. Interestingly Apple, read Steve Jobs, never wanted DRM on the songs in the first place:

We have Ph.D.’s here, that know the stuff cold, and we don’t believe it’s possible to protect digital content.

Has a monopoly ever willingly given up its Monopoly?

Just in case you were looking for more useless information, I present to you the Pirate Player! That’s right matey! Cap’n Jack is back and so’s the whole gang for a third time! (The second one kinda sucked, but Johnny Depp is m’ boy!)

    do you want to go see Pirates when it comes out? I just discovered this past week that it’s coming out at the end of May – I had assumed it would be sometime in June/July! (and I don’t have anyone to go with yet. If I was in Barrie, I would.)

    I love Depp. He’s an amazing actor.

    Yeah, they moved it up to May instead of the customary July. Its going to be a crazy month for movies. First is Spiderman 3, then comes Shrek 3 then the week after that its Pirates 3… 3 weeks of the third installments of 3 of the biggest movie franchises of all time!! Do I sound stoked? :) And later on is Rush Hour 3, Die Hard 4, 28 Days Later 2… Ocean’s 13… I’ll be working just to go to the movies. :)

    Im going to Nassau before the month starts for our elections, I’ll be there 2 weeks or so, but yeah we can go see Johnny boy. :)

    oh man. There’s a bunch of good ones coming out! Clearly I need to start saving as well :P

    I think you were mentioning awhile ago that you’re going back to Nassau for May, but then you didn’t know where you’d end up living. Have you heard anything back from York about acceptance?

    Nothing from York.
