Thoughts and Week in Review

First:
I got my kindle in the mail on Wednesday! It's all that it is supposed to be and I love it. YAY. But I have two papers that must get written before spring break, so yuck - I don't get to play with it much til then :(

Second:
The state of the building I work in is ridiculous. It would be better if they blew it up and started over. Today it was so muggy in the room I was teaching in that you could see the condensation in the air. I'm going to stage a protest.

Third:
Writing papers sucks.

Fourth:
Ok, done with the numbers. Generally this week has rocked. Been very busy between yelling at the DVR for not recording anything and getting this paper written. It's at least half way now. Also it's been package city. Got my kindle wednesday, cory sent me a hoodie thursday and today I'm supposed to get my stuff from sephora in. :) I also have to order books for book club. Damn! :)

Something I find disturbing:
The new it thing to do on Facebook is to take "explored" pictures from Flickr and make them into fake album covers and fake band names. I know this whole thing is just for fun, but it kind of frightens me. Photographers already have issues with copyrights and digital use of their pictures. I know plenty of people who have been stolen from. But if you don't put yourself and your pictures out there, you never get better or noticed. Double edged sword. The thing that bothers me the most is that people don't notice that it's 1) illegal with out a common use license on the picture and 2) stealing with out mentioning the photographer. And we spend all of our time talking about plagiarism? This is just as bad.
