in the tatham centre here, we have fancy lockers where we can stash our stuff during interviews. by fancy i mean the don’t look like they belong in a high school, but more an airport or something. anyways, they take a quarter and actually give your quarter back when you’re done with the locker. how kind of the penny-pinching university of waterloo eh? or is it because it would be too expensive to pay someone to empty out the coins? i put my bets on the latter.

i’ve been listening to franz ferdinand‘s self titled album; it started out good, got better, but now i think i’ve listened to it too much. time for something new. oh yeah, and the cover to britney’s everytime single is nothing like the video. in fact, i don’t know where they got that picture from. altho i wouldn’t mind a hi-res version, maybe to replace the existing picture, hrmm. um, last bit of music stuff is that i checked out pj harvey’s new album uh huh her. she’s one of those musicians that you’ve heard some people rave about, but turns out it’s not really my style of stuff

also something completely different, bill cosby on african americans:

These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids – $500 sneakers for what? And won’t spend $200 for ‘Hooked on Phonics,’ They’re standing on the corner, and they can’t speak English. I can’t even talk the way these people talk: ‘Why you ain’t, why you is. ‘… And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk. Everybody knows it’s important to speak English except these knuckleheads.”
