Strange loves

bart_calendar,
It embarrasses me to admit it, but I have never seen The People vs. Larry Flynt. Shameful. Wonder if it's rentable at Liberty Hall. It's a sure bet Hastings won't have it. Anybody else notice that Netflix has completely killed the older-than-ten-years movie selection at local rental places? Forget about finding anything made before 1960.
Black and white/classic movies were pretty much all I watched on T.V. when I was in junior high. We got HBO (and MTV) when I was in high school and that changed my viewing habits a bit, but I still watched a lot of pre-60s stuff. The Strange Love of Martha Ivers mixed with Duran Duran. I guess that explains some of my fashion choices.
Yesterday was the last day of Spring 2010 semester. Today is Stop Day. For those of you not KU-affiliated, that means no classes, no exams. Academically, everything stops today to give undergraduates a three day weekend before finals to recover from (or continue) last night's drunken binges. I've always thought this was very generous of the administration. Occasionally a rumor goes around that they're going to get rid of Stop Day, but I hope they don't. Even if most of the student body takes it for granted. It's still a nice gesture.
