Court Date . . . Again

So I went to court again today. I was the only person who arrived. The
plaintiff and the defendant didn't show up so the trial was simply
dismissed. Urgh.

Veritas

I'm really looking forward to the Veritas series of lectures being given at LSU this weekend and next week. Caesar and I both are going and can't wait for these things!

They started in 1992 at Harvard by thee Harvard Chaplain, Peter Kreeft. Apparently this guy's mentor was CS Lewis' confessor! Woo hoo! Lewis' influence lives on in Christian Academians and they're coming to LSU!

Eager. Eager. Eager.

My Surprise

Imagine my surprise when I almost won the critique contest this morning in the hippie teacher's class. I've never won his prize! Ah!

Last night my printer was freaking out and not talking to my laptop, our of the blue! It was fine a week ago! Kinko's was out of cyan toner (cyan is one of the component colors of printing so the colors would've looked eight different kinds of wrong!), the color printer at school was missing some kind of fuser cartridge. This morning I had to sonic boom over to Paw Prints, the LSU copy shop (which, if I had to guess which was worse between them and Kinko's I'd actually be at a loss). By the time I actually made it to class I wasn't able to mount my works.

No big loss, mine would've won. :P

Hippie teacher said, "Isral, you're making green the new spiritual color."

I hate printing. Why can't everything be electronic only?!

New images

There are new images up for your review. See the link on the side, under Class Works. These are from a currently in-progress assignment in which we have to design a form that can be read from a multitude of directions: a multi-linear exercise. Dr. Magnuson might not like the idea of linear education and parsing, but Wei, the professor, says that humans in any given geopolitical context read and analyse information/data in some form of linear direction. Could this be a function of our existence within time, a limited amount of existence along the length/width(?) of the known universe? Time is the direction of our lives. Quality of life (see this image) is our adherence to a given -- ahem, standard. That everyone expects things to be laid out in a comprehensible, linear manner ( even if accomodated by conditonals and dependencies ) is another of God's fingerprints.

James, congratulations on the Senior Patrol Leader. A chip of the H block, eh?

KT, I have no pics of you. In fact, I have very few pics of some of you kids from church. Maybe this will be remedied by cooperative teens?

Who said, "I knew these pics would come back to haunt me?"
