Went downtown this afternoon to clear my head because I had a 4S panic attack. My roommate, without meaning to, drives me nuts sometimes. Latest bad habit?: drumming her fingernails on everything in sight. Gah.
If you haven't figured out who this is yet, I don't think you ever will. Well, unless I actually come out and tell you. But I won't do that! It's more fun this way!
So my latest assignment for quicktutor.blogspot.com is to find information on pros and cons of pharmaceuticals. HOW GENERAL CAN YOU GET?!?!? Do you just mean drugs in general? That's what pharmaceuticals are! Now I can understand a discussion on the evils of pharmaceutical companies, problems with overdosing on drugs, or using too many drugs for little problems, but just the general topic of pharmaceuticals? That's basically the same as asking, what the pros and cons of medicine are! Is you see this, Rishi, THAT is why I refuse to do this assignment.
Back to my story of going downtown-i will only tell you the educational details since that is the purpose of this blog.
-I found out that the Cook County Library is open Monday through Friday, but on Saturday, it is open exclusively for attorneys. I think I would like to visit it someday.
-Macy's is open until 8pm on Saturdays.
-You can play musical instruments on the Red Line subway platform. Do you need a liscense? THAT would be a good question to get answered!
-There are a bunch of places that have "free" wifi downtown, but you may need to purchase something before using it. Personally, I think that's a great deal. Food + Internet=HEAVEN! ha
McDonald's wifi is supposedly fee-based. :( Ridiculous. They have so much money and can't afford to give people a break? Not nice.
-Honestly, I think Braveheart is over-rated. Yes, it is an epic movie, but serously, some of the scenes are ridiculous from a health and survival tactics student's perspective, in particular that scene where Wallace falls into the lake and is flailing his arms everywhere. STUPID! Wait until you are in the water to use your energy! (Unless you arrogantly think you are that strong and capable of endurance.) *shakes head* Oh, and that reminds me of my position of torture-from the tortured person's perspective-"If you're going through hell, keep going" (Winston Churchill)!!!! Otherwise, it's pointless. And speaking of William Churchill, I used him as one as part of my heroes project in 8th grade, LOL. And speaking of 8th grade, I did a project on the book Left for Dead: A Young Man's Search for Justice for the USS Indianapolis. THAT (again, lol) is an interesting story from what I can remember (which is little, unfortunately).
endorsement of Amazon, sorry: http://www.amazon.com/Left-Dead-Search-Justice-Indianapolis/dp/0385730918
And this reminds me of the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, because the scene where he goes off to war appears to be similar to that of the USS Indianapolis situation. Not sure though, so I'll go look it up on IMDB.com....one sec.
Drat. Too much time wasted on IMDB, to no avail. I spotted a confirmation of the reference on Amazon (yet again!! this blog is a repetitive mess! so sorry)...please do look into the story. Not the MOST INTERESTING EVER, but certainly worthy of a movie or something.
That's all. Ta!
