The Collected Writings of Sardonicus

Huh, had a pretty nice day yesterday. Though, it does stink that everything is closing early due to the fall break holiday campus hours of operation. Nothing to do. What has been mildly entertaining to watch come together is this new movie they're filming on campus near my dorm. Unfortunately, I couldn't go to sleep until around 4am because of all the noise they were making. They propped the entryway door for 3 hours, and the alarm was going off continuously. MAN, I was pretty ticked off while I was tossing and turning in bed. They had a scene or two inside my dorm building, including some filming of my hallway directly in front of my room door. Most of the scenes I overheard were shot on the 4th floor though, but it was really weird because I only heard a one-sided dialogue. I don't know... maybe the guy he was speaking to was going to be animated and added in later or something? Probably not, because I didn't get the impression that it was a high-budget movie. Anyway, most of the crew and equipment were gone by this morning, so I'm assuming they're done with filming on location. It's likely they got a lot done over the break.

Anything interesting going on in the world? Hmmmmm, well, we have the French riots and arsons-news. Europe is fast-approaching a day of reckoning concerning some of their minorities- as well as how the majority interacts with the minorities- and right now it doesn't look particularly encouraging.

Lewis Libby was indicted a few days ago of course. Will he be the fall guy? Perhaps. It's EXTREMELY unlikely that Rove will be convicted, but it is a possibility that he may offically resign, but I'm sure the current administration and the Republican Party will continue to consult with him in an unofficial capacity.

But all in all, a slow week in the news. The stations are still dedicating a bulk of their time to Katrina and Wilma relief. Can't think of anything else significant going on at the moment.
