Hoo hah.

It's nice to feel a sense of accomplishment. I finally got dotComments working and I am proud, so leave some comments if something tickles yr fancy. And now something to start the tickling.

As I mentioned, my classes today were good, very good, but the highlight of the day was my Great Speakers and Speeches class. This guy who was sitting next to me kept having those internal belches. You know, the ones where you try to hold it in but it just backfires. Once would be fine because it happens to the best of us, but this guy did it four times. Four times. It was a bit much. Oh, and even better was when the prof was asking for examples of great speakers and someone said Calista Flockhart because she did a monologue in the Vagina Monologues. I think the VMs are great, and Ally McBeal is only slightly annoying, but this was absurd. Not only was this not a speech, but she gave one of the fluffiest actresses on TV today as an example. The list was like this:

+ MLK Jr.
+ Malcolm X
+ FDR
+ Maya Angelou
+ Calista Flockhart

Which of these things is different than the other? Hmm.
