I had a really lovely weekend, went to the movies with Sarah Cassie Ken and Jason. Saw Ninja Assasins. It was OK. The beginning was incredible, I thought it was going to be great fun. then they spent the next 45 mins with a lot of boring backstory, which was not as fun. Then the end was pretty fun again.

After that I went to Tom and Ilana's where they were hosting an art show. Everything was lovely. I really wanted to buy one of Ilana's paintings. Evan's minimalist video was really neat, I wanted to ask lots of nerdy questions about how it was made, but didn't get a chance. And the other two artists were also very good.

Was supposed to go to NJ Saturday, but it snowed and Dad didn't feel that great, so I stayed home and wrote up my statistics homework instead. Should have read syntax too, but I guess I'll do that now.

This is the last Monday of horribleness this semester. Yey! I have realized that I need to have more people to enjoy the city with before I can feel like it is my own. Hopefully I can build this up next semester.

Tomorrow I will be up in Poughkeepsie because my dad has several important doctor's appointments that my mom wants me to come to. I won't be able to go to them all, but at least I can be there in the morning. I'll be showing my class a video on ape cognition, called Ape Genius. It was really good. I'm being so nice to them, if they just show up to class and answer a couple of questions it will count for 10% of their overall grade. I also gave them the option to do extra credit, but I forgot how many points I told them it would be worth. I hope I said five....

Yes, I got the bug to make absurd little SamCham fanvideos and put them up at YouTube. I have no previous experience, just eagerness and a sense of humor. With that caveat, peek if curiosity strikes. If you can only find the patience to watch one, see #3.

1. A less-than-half minute snipped of Mugen hotness to Tokio Hotel's "Schrei."

2. A whopping 14 seconds of episode 6 accompanied by Stephen Sondheim's Big Bad Wolf song "Hello Little Girl" to show Fuu can EAT!

3. Jin the Gigolo: 46 seconds of tasty Jin moments from episode 8 set to an excerpt from Louis Armstrong's version of "Just a Gigolo":

My not-mad skillz are improving slowly, and I hope the brevity and wit carry me through!

Almost 3 years ago, Harlem man Wesley Autrey saved another man who was having a seizure and had fallen onto the 137th St. subway tracks by jumping down and pinning him to the 24"-deep (at most) trough between the rails. While the oncoming 1 train rolled over them and stopped. While his own 2 young daughters up on the platform watched. After he'd helped the same man recover from another seizure on that platform just minutes earlier.

Basically Autrey was/is a true hero, and deserves all the attention and praise he's gotten. There should be more people like him. I wonder if I could've done the same thing in that situation, and the answer is AW HELL NO. Especially not with my 2 kids watching. Even if I KNEW with 100% certainty that there were enough clearance in that trough (which Autrey didn't, but he had a good guess), there's no way I could've done that. Could you? I don't blame him for taking the risk that he did, because obviously it was a spur of the moment decision he had to make, but I think it's a liiiiiittle bit crazy to be as (wonderfully, awesomely) brave as he was.
