Well, Friday was my last day as a full time employee of Liberty University. Things are looking up for me, income wise... even after health insurance and taxes take their toll.
I'll mainly be working for DRC Films (My old room mate) in making a modern movie adaptation of Pilgrim's Progress. It should be fun and full of new (hopefully not scary) experiences.
I'm grateful for the opportunities that have reared their heads at this stage of my life.

castrati [cringe]
Weirdness.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060712/sc_nm/arts_farinelli_remains_dc_2
excerpts from the story
"ROME (Reuters) - Historians and scientists have exhumed the remains of legendary castrato Farinelli in Italy to study the anatomical effects of castration carried out on young boys to turn them into high-pitched stars of the opera.
ADVERTISEMENT
Castrati played heroic male leads in Italian opera from the mid-17th to late 18th century when the bel canto was the rage in Europe. Farinelli, born Carlo Broschi in 1705, was the most famous of them all, in a stage career lasting from 1720 to 1737."
...
"
The last surviving castrato, Sistine Chapel chorist Alessandro Moreschi, lived long enough to make recordings in 1902 and 1904, though on the dated gramophone records his voice sound like what Clapton described as "Pavarotti on helium."

Sale at Eddie Bauer
The sad thing is that it's $20 off and it's still $20 more than I want to spend on a shirt. I just don't like spending money on clothes... Of course, it shows but I'm okay with that.

Copyright Comic
A discussion of copyright law and fair use issues in comic book form. It's a bit interesting but I'm still confused.
