Second draft of The Business of Liberty
I've posted the second (and final required) draft of The Business of Liberty. One of the coolest things for me was that I recieved a correction (which has now been incorporated) from one of the people mentioned in the paper. The teachers wanted this draft to be shorter than the first, but I'm a long winded guy and realized that was not possible for me. This second draft is just slightly longer than the first (the average of the changes resulted in it being about a paragraph longer than the first).
Book Meme
I'm not much for some of the goofier meme-things that get randomly spread across the internets, but this one is about books, so it is hard to resist. Also, because tas tagged me with it.
You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451. Which book do you want to be?
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The book is so covertly anti-agenda (it mocks everything from beauracracy to religion) that you just now that when the books start burning the entire H2G2 series will be some of the first of burn lists. On the other hand, the book is so overtly humorous and optimistic amongst easy pessimism that everyone should read it hiding in their basements while waiting for the Firemen. At least they'll have a few laughs before being accused of their crimes. It might even give them some ideas on how to deal with. (By the way, I definitely plan to bring my towel the 29th when the film opens in theatres.)
Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
I'll admit that I will often get swept up into the characters that I'm reading/watching. Most recently it was Kada thanks to today's Sluggy Freelance. How I can not crush on a crazy geek chick stuck in the Timeless Wastes and deciding to go "full pirate" wearing a shirt that says "Wet Nerd Pirate"? Next most recently it was Megan, Bast, and Rachel of Emerald Sea.
The last book you bought is?
Friday, I did some studying at the Heine Brothers' Coffee on Longest Ave. Conjoined to the Coffee Shop is Carmichael's book store. It was so hard to resist wanting to browse the stacks of the small local book store. Then, it was even harder to resist buying anything ...
