So everyone in the world is updating their LiveJournals again (some people longer than others, but me not realizing it because I was unknowingly logged out of my account for six months.) So I guess I'll start to update mine.

My "Economics and the Law" class hopes to be interesting. My professor is one of those people who thinks they're funny, but people laugh at his humor for a reason completely different than he is laughing at it. Regardless, the subject matter and text look promising and it should be one of my more enjoyable classes. Nothing notable to say about Poli Sci Research Methods or Politics of the EU.

I really want to see Frost/Nixon, but I'm afraid I won't be able to handle Frank Langella's terrible impersonation of Richard Nixon for two hours. There really are very few movies out there right now that have any promise in them, except for maybe Slumdog Millionaire which I'm sure I'll never get around to seeing.

I Watched "Wanted" at the fraternity house last night - a movie about a fraternity of assassins is much funnier sitting in a room of fraternity men aspiring to be assassins.

I made a Roland Burris joke in Senate last night and it went over well, surprisingly. I've gotten much more comfortable being Senate President in the sense that I'm starting to make the position more of my own and adjusting the office to my personality instead of purely basing it off of the traditions of my predecessors. People took me really seriously my first term in Senate and now that I'm chair I think people understand me more and the levity I infuse into a lot of situations.

Before


After


Not that different, but a change nonetheless
