Because somethings are just so ridiculous they HAVE to be shared with the class,

Or:

Brendan, you are REALLY going to love this!



...So, I'm checking my email, minding my own buisness, when I open up an email from [osa earthmatters], an NYU group I was foolish enough to sign up for. What can I say, I'm a sucker for people saying that if I sign up I'll get emails about doctumentary screenings and the like.

ANYWAY, I open up the email, and find THIS!

Before there was GSOC, there was...NEWSIES!
“Wrongs will be righted, If we’re united”

The 1992 Disney cult classic musical NEWSIES, starring a young, svelte
Christian Bale, recounts the efforts of teenage newspaper peddlers to
form a union in turn-of-the-century New York City.

Join Graduate Undergraduate Solidarity (GUS)
for dinner and a screening of NEWSIES!



...Now, I'm ALMOST tempted to go to remind our Graduate Brethen that, while Christian Bale is the SMEX and it would be a glorious day the day he becomes of figurehead of ANY protest/strike/whatever that is in a close proximity to me...well, would YOU take the Graduate Union seriously if they broke out into a chorus of "Seize the Day" outside of the window of Sexton? I don't even think I could take them seriously if they did so just at the screening of the movie.

*hand to forehead, and sigh*

Happiness is...

...going uptown to listen to the NY Philharmonic perform for free courtesy of your RA's, even though you REALLY should be staying at home to drawing RPG comics of cracktasic, or you REALLY REALLY should be catching up on all that class reading you've magically seem to have falling grossly behind in.


^_^ There's coffee and dessert afterwards too, courtesy of the RA's.
