mood: blah meh
music: Against Me!
Real update? Sure.



Last Friday Kate and I went to see the Skeleton Key. It was actually really good, I enjoyed it.


On Monday, Kate, Matt, Nikki, Jordy and I broke into the old abandoned hospital. We shimmied in through some old elevator shaft thing, and explored. We found a box of old toys and I took a creepy old music box. Kate grabbed a typewriter too. It was sweet.


Ashly stayed over a few days this week too. I love her.


Wednesday I recieved a call from an old friend of mine. So Erin, Molly, Grace and I went out for dinner and reminiced about all the fun we had in grade school. I haven't laughed so hard in a really long time. I missed those girls.


Today I work. Boo.


Oh, I finally got registered for all my classes. My schedule looks like this:

Mondays
Cinema History (Pre-War) 2:30 - 5:20
Culture in Comparative Perspective 5:30 - 6:50

Wednesdays
Intercultural Communication 2:30 - 5:20
Culture in Comparative Perspective 5:30 - 6:50

Tuesdays and Thursdays
Theater in Contemporary Culture 10:00 - 11:20

Will I be seeing any of you in my classes?

Super quick reply: you won't be seeing me in any of your classes but I may have at least one textbook you can borrow. Specifically I'm thinking the Cinema History, with Culture In... being a possibility too. More info to follow.

Awesome!
For Culture in Comparative Perspective I need "Conformity and Conflict Readings in Cultural Anthropology" and "Mirror For Humanity: Concise Introduction to Anthropology." They haven't listed anything for Cinema yet.

Thanks in advance.
And also thanks for the e-mail earlier.

You're welcome.

Now that I've had time to think about it, I HAD both of those Antropology texts, but sold them at the end of the semester, which was a dumb move (in multiple ways now). However, you should have no trouble finding them used. You'll need one to learn theoretical terms, and the other is just random stories about different anthropolical studies. It was a pretty easy class (multiple choice mid-term & final, plus 5-page-ish paper).

As for the pre-war cinema, I definitely have the textbook, but they MIGHT have changed it. You'll have Virdi, who is the professor I also had, but last year she didn't teach it and I know they used a different textbook. So maybe her return will mark a return to the one that I have. As for that class, I personally found it very easy (2 or 3 very short papers about some of the films you'll view, and a multiple choice final).

For future reference, the film book I have is:
"Film: And International History of the Medium" (2nd edition) by Robert Sklar

Garth is still at the university, but so far only is listed as teaching Sound In Media. I can't foresee him being allowed to teach Intercultural Communication again because he used the "n-word" last year (in an educational context, of course), but a student took exception to it thus resulting in lots of bad vibes around the campus towards him.
