Current song, "Outside Kickass Violin Solo" by Aphex Twin

Nicole came back today, and I think we've resolved some of our differences. Yay! Less tension on the floor is a good thing.

I watched figure skating today. Well... I watched Sasha Cohen and Michelle Kwan... and missed the people inbetween because I fell asleep. Oh, well. I think I was tired. That's probably because I had a midterm today in econ that I pulled an all-nighter for. We'll see how I did. Does that ever pay off?

My mom sent me an article from the Boston Globe yesterday. It was describing the depiction of the Harvard campus in the movies. But I want to quote the funniest paragraph ever...

"We have to walk a fine line to make sure we're not compromising the values of the university, but we have to accommodate the needs of the film crew to make sure they're getting what they need, too," says Torie Daves, assistant director of USC's Campus Filming Office.

The balance can occasionally be elusive, says Daves, recalling the filming of 1995's "Species." The crew set up on campus and was about to start shooting when the 250-piece USC marching band arrived on a nearby field and proceeded with a three-hour rehearsal. "After that, I put up a big sign in my office saying, `Do you know where the band is?' " Daves says. "Whenever anyone wants to film on campus, my first call is to the marching band to see where they're going to be."

Being a member of the Trojan Marching Band, I'm rather proud of this reputation. Go us! ;)

I'm pooped. I'm going to bed now. But you need to look at this picture, just because I think it's funny.
