Hurried Post

I'm typing this up in somewhat of a frenzy due to the fact my bus arrives in 10 minutes. I didn't get around to saying what I wanted to last night due to spending time writing a paper for my Native American studies class. Technically, it's called Introduction to American Indian and Native Studies, but its hard for me not to be PC about it.

Yesterday's USA Today featured a "first look" article on the upcoming Memoirs of a Geisha movie. I've only read a little of the book but the movie looks like it'll turn out rather well. There's been some argument though, as far as I've been following it, on having Chinese actors play the main Japanese parts. If you took a look at the forums for the movie on IMDB, you would see what I mean.

Also, I have to find some time during this week to run down to the post office to get a new social security card. Turns out I need to show a SS (not Nazi) card to the student employment office at the university to get the papers I need to actually do a work-study job. I'm already a week behind in when I hoped to start working, but I want to start soon, so that at least I can try to get used to waking up at 5 in the morning.

Tonight's also another SPIRAL meeting, which I will be attending. The group have been very friendly so far and are a no-pressure group. It's nothing like walking into some evangalist's speech that trys to tug at your heartstrings. They know I'm not a pagan, just someone who wants to know more about their religions... someone who wants to know the truth.
