nostalgia and a bad movie.

first the bad movie. syriana. seriously...what the hell was the point of this movie. i sat through it fairly patiently hoping it would somehow come together at the end and nada. two more hours lost forever.

and onto the nostalgia... courtesy of jeffrey over at metroblogging, a little trip down memory lane. sing along...

I was kinda a space cadet for a while afterwards, but the revisions aren't too bad, and I still think I can get it into the library by Monday.

And best of all, I'M DONE!!!

the verdict is in...

PASS with minor revisions!

more to come later...

day before the defence (vlog)

This was sort of lame, but I was too lazy to do a new one.

more stupid people...

well, this is just nuts... i was reading beyond robson today, and the latest post is on how this guy, kevin corazza is suing kris krug for stealing his photos on flickr and using them as his own. the only snag is that this corazza guy in reality stole kris krug's photos, posted them as his own, and then started harassing kris about using 'his' photos, and has now brought a law suit on kris about it.

if you check out the flickr link, you can read through the comments where people have gone through corazza's porfolio and found other photos he's stolen off flickr, and also note that corazza has deleted his flickr account to cover up his plagiarism.

you may be wondering why i am assuming kris krug's innocence, and it is because if you ever met the guy and looked at his photos, you would side with him too, as it's totally obvious who is really the bad guy in this case. not to mention the fact that sarah pullman of yoga for geeks fame happened to be on the trip where kris took said photos and can vouch for them being genuine.

seriously. this has got to be one of the most ridiculous things i've seen in a while!
