Yesterday I watched A Clockwork Orange at the house of one of my English professors. The class was supposed to watch it at school, but a codex was missing, so the DVD player didn't work. And no, I don't know what a codex is, only that it is something that always seems to be missing. ACO is a rare case in which the book and film are both really good, yet for different reasons. It doesn't make sense to say one is better than the other; that would be like comparing apples and ... some other fruit that is somewhat similar to an apple. Anyway, both are recommended. Horroshow cheloveck that Kubrick, eh? A funny thing I found out is that this professor--who is a 50+ year-old literature professor from Great Britain--plays World of Warcraft. He's like a level 55 priest or something, meaning he plays it a lot. How weird is that? I've always assumed that whenever a literature professor isn't teaching he is sitting at home with a glass of brandy, listening to Beethoven and watching Masterpiece Theatre (as Roxanne put it). At least he has a standard poodle named Sir Lancelot, and his minivan is named after a work of literature (1 of only 2 such vehicles I can think of).

Last week I participated in 2 psyhcological research studies. Now you might be thinking that these studies were designed to measure awesomeness, but that is not so. I was actually in them because I can earn 4% bonus on my term mark if I participate in 4 of them. Now that I think about it, this anecdote has not point and is not funny; I'm just mentioning it because I've never been in a psychological experiment before, unless you count that time I rented a gorilla suit and ran around throwing peoples' dogs into oncoming traffic. If you're wondering, the results were inconclusive.
