Just saw another really great PBS documentary. This was a Frontline one called "The Persuaders," and it was sooo good. It's about the freaky new forms of advertising and marketing for business and politics...you know, the "manipulate your subliminal mind" kind and the people who create it. Really, the doc just finds the most evil people in the world and shows you their evil deeds. Anyhow, everyone should watch it. You can get it on Netflix.
Weird thing about this evening though. I got pissed off at myself because I stopped reading at 11. I think this school has shifted my entire conception of an acceptable work day. There were always times during college when I worked until 2/3/4 in the morning, but usually I stopped working at 10 or 11 and went to hang out or drink and see people. Now, I wake up earlier and see people in the day, and then often work until I go to bed...whenever an acceptable amount has been completed. I think I'm getting boring...and obsessive...I need to chill out--go out.
Or maybe I'm just using my work as an excuse to not think about being social. Man, this place is socially weird. I mean, I totally appreciate my friends here, but it's so hard to meet new people! You see people in class and in your department--for me, that's like 35 people, tops--and the rest here are total strangers! And they don't seem very keen on getting to know people...(whoa, maybe just me...)
Well, on second thought, I suppose I see and know a lot of people, I just know only a few very well...unlike what I'm used to...miss you guys who read this from far away :'(
I suppose I shouldn't bitch. I should just change my behavior. be "warmer."
Wow, I feel like Doogie Howser...
