An important message.

Support our motion to BAN "having fun" tomorrow at the student union

Please vote YES at the student union tomorrow to help ensure that our motion to ban "having fun" is ratified by the University Student Society for Reform (USSR). For too long have we allowed right wing zealots to partake in oppressive activities such as (1) listening to/playing music, much of which glamourises violence, crass capitalist consumerism and the objectification of women; (2) watching television/films, many of which glorify war, rape and vigilantism [channel 4 will be exempt, as will art-house films provided that they are rubber-stamped by the USSR's Representative for Truth] and (3) clubbing, a shameless enterprise whereby women are sold to men in exchange for alcohol, with all of the profits going to capitalist fat-cats.

Bad Habits

I own more books than I have time to read. But I'm hoping that with graduation I'll have more time than I have books. Which will never happen because I have 726.9 MB of pdfs on my computer and the internet is ENDLESS. But, books. For the unplugging moments, the enjoying of nice weather and comfortable couches. And being nice to my eyes.

So thank you to safercampus for the $10 gift card for filling out a survey. I just bought myself:

Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty by Muhammad Yunus

More Sex is Safer Sex: The Unconventional Wisdom of Economics by Steven E. Landsburg

Cafe Europa: Life after Communism by Slavenka Drakulic

All books that have been on my wish list for awhile. It is, after all, over 1000 books long.
