Oct. 12th, 2002 10:12 pmEvery new thing that Bush&co. do makes the scenarios in Parable of the Talents and The Handmaid's Tale seem more plausible.
(Olivia - Parable of the Talents is the sequel to Parable of the Sower, which is the book boB was going off about in Oxford about walled communities (it's not really, but that's how he described it, so it's probably how you'd remember it if you haven't read it). Did you ever read it? It's interesting, if not exactly happy fun reading.)
I need to reread Parable, and will do so as soon as I finish my current book. Well, and once I get at least slightly caught up in English.
The essay got done (at 2 AM) and turned in (at 9 AM). It's awful, but even a high F is better than zero (this is my mantra these days when it comes to essays), and I suspect I'll get higher than a high F. The class is over next week. It will be wonderful to have my Saturdays back.
The AmeriCorp program at College of the Redwoods is apparently continuing - they're accepting applications for next semester starting in November. Not that I'm planning to go that soon, but it's nice to know they aren't ending it yet.
I'm really torn between hoping![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
koyote gets a really good high paying job and hoping he doesn't so that I can do that.
koyote and I are currently ripping CDs for fun and profit. Well, fun anyways. In fact, the CD player just spit out a CD, knocking the chair to the side. It was kind of amusing. That was Xenophilia. Now it's Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
I'm eating rice pudding. It is tasty.
