This is a time for reflection as we have President-elect Obama sworn in as the next President tomorrow. Although racism has significantly subsided over the years, Dr. King’s 1963 speech is still critical to us, especially to those who called the victory of Obama as the end of racism; President-elect Obama’s victory is a significant step, but we still have a long way to go. I invite you to watch Dr. King’s “I have a dream” speech in its entirety.
I usually use Twitter to log my study progress, but Twitter is down, so I will be taking notes of my progress here. Hope you find it enlightening! This adventure starts 11:19 PM on June 1, 2008.
The Writer's Path: I borrowed a book called "The Writer's Path: A Guidebook For Your Creative Journey" by Todd Walton and Mindy Toomay. I was looking for a writing exercise companion, and at first glance this book seems to have a good amount of material to improve my writing. I am going to post some of my writings from the book's exercise here at Day Mind XPression.
Battlestar Galactica: I watched the first three hours of the first season of Battlestar Galactica, and I am quite impressed. The special effects are quite good, and the storyline is especially superb in my opinion. I am going to rent the rest of season one, so I can watch it during the weekend.
CrankyGeeks: Episode 116 had one of the most funniest moments in CrankyGeeks' history.
Twitter Down: Twitter seems to have some technical issues during this week. I have not been able to connect to Twitter on various occasions.
Movie Weekend: My friends and I watched the newest movie in "The Chronicles of Narnia" series "Prince of Caspian". I am guilty of not reading the book, but I just could not wait to see it after watching the first movie a few days ago. I highly recommend everyone to check out the movie this weekend, because I also want this movie to beat both "Speed Racer" and "Iron Man" (A very good movie to watch) by a wide margin. Go C.S. Lewis!
New Utility: I am trying out a new clipboard utility called Ditto. So far it has been pretty useful and light on the computer memory.
Twitter: I am on Twitter. Follow me if you wish!
Current Thoughts: This is a new writing section for Day Mind XPression. Unlike my Gathered Thoughts posts, Current Thoughts have writings that represents my worldly experience on the fly. "Short Notes" is a category under Current Thoughts, and the new category will house articles that are short and concise. The upcoming "Short Notes" articles will have a similar format like the one you are reading right now. It is still experimental, but so far I am very comfortable writing in this new format.
Sleep Schedule: I am trying to fix my current college driven sleep schedule to a more sane level. So far, I have been able to sleep before 11 o'clock.
