Epic heroes
Fri Dec 21, 2007 17:19 (UTC -5)My calculus professor wasn’t very timely in grading my class’s final exams, so for a little while I had to wait after all my other grades had come in. Now I know I got an A in the class. I didn’t do as well on the final as I wanted to, but I somehow got an A anyway. That means I have a 4.0 GPA right now. Needless to say, I’m very glad and surprised. I didn’t think I’d do that well in my first semester of college.
I’ve been planning to visit my old high school for a while, and yesterday I actually went there with Justin. We got there an hour after school ended. The Green Team, a popular club, was having a party because it was the last day before winter break. You should have seen the welcome we got from some peolpe. I mean, seriously. We were greeted like heroes. I spent most of the time catching up with them. Besides Class of ’08 people, Ruan, who graduated with me and Justin, was visiting too. Everyone I talked to told me how much they liked both Beowulf movies that Justin, Mark, Nick, and I made. Since our English teacher now shows them to her class every semester, they’ve attained cult status in Pompano Beach High School. Beowulf 3 is coming… someday!
Anyway, some people who were planning on going to see Sweeney Todd invited Justin and me to come along, so that’s where I’ll be later tonight. It should be fun.
You have to watch (or read a transcript of) this Democracy Now! interview with a Yemeni man who was kidnapped by the CIA, held without charges, and tortured.
Malcolm Nance knows waterboarding is torture because he’s done it — and he’s had it done to him.

I just got back from seeing Sweeney Todd. I’ve seen the play before so I pretty much knew what to expect. Boyfriend knew it had Johnny Depp and was a Tim Burton movie, so that made him want to see it. All the singing turned him off, but overall he really liked it.

Indeed, the Sweeney Todd movie was well done, although I won’t be eating steak, pie, or a combination of the two anytime soon.
I think I’ll guestimate eleven deaths.
