tp and the silver screen

crisis averted. today i went to safeway and bought toilet paper. such is life.

tonight i'm finally going to see bandits. i know it's probably not any sort of terrific movie, but it looks funny and entertaining and more importantly, it means that i am getting off campus. tomorrow i have this huge desire to go dancing in san francisco...i wonder if emily would want to come? she keeps saying she knows of a great place to go. i dunno, i just want to go somewhere and forget about homework for a little while and shake my groove thing. ha. ;)

so apparently there is a "credible" threat to suspension bridges in california, which of course includes the bay bridge and the golden gate bridge in san francisco. a few months ago the news would have seemed distant and disconnected from my life, but suddenly i live in the bay area and it's very strange to think that something near me could be targeted. i mean, i don't think anybody's going to want to take out stanford anytime soon, but i can't imagine what would happen to this area if something happened to one of those bridges. getting from one place to the other would be a nightmare. however, in some weird sense it's nice to think that if someone did manage to damage a bridge, the loss of life would be much less than in a skyscraper.
