a check and an aside

made it through all three of my first class meets...check.

will have more on that later.. a peek into each of the courses i am taking, because i'm sure to reference them this term (when i have opportunities to blog).

though i will say that scorsese films will make for an interesting dreamscape on monday nights.. except i may be too exhausted to remember them in the morning.. last night we watched 'who's that knocking on my door' (written and directed by) and his first..

an aside, and spurred by various sources and a long-running curiosity:

children catch a lot of criticism for purchasing things just because they have a certain character on them, or because they are merchandise from a particular film, book, or series... or like hello kitty, a non-character.

what about the crap "christians" will buy just because it is marketed correctly? i know you know what i am talking about.. they will excuse failings in fundamental aspects of its creation (e.g. bad film technique, or poor drumming skill)..

are we that starved? are we just sad? what are we? confused?

alright, back to my homework for school....
