Ok, so today is the nation Day of Remembarance to remeber the Japanese internment during WWII. One of the campus groups got George Takei to come and talk about his experience. Of course I wanted to go because its George Takei. His story though was so interesting and moving. I was glad that I got to go and hear what it was like from a first-hand source. He also was able to tie in multiple movements throughout US history to emphasis his position that we have to active members of our democracy. It was a very good talk. I got to stay for the whole talk, but I had to leave half way through the Q&A session. There was going to be a chance to take pictures with him afterwards, so I'm really sad that I didn't get to because I had a mandatory building meeting.
After the building meeting, there is this crazy guy that live across from the RA. He practices with his band on his balcony at like 12:30 at night, and got into a fight with the RA when she told him he couldn't practice that late at night. It got so bad, DPS came and had to talk to him. He also got everyones email from the mass emails the RA sends out, and sent out this crazy, acid trip type email on Tuesday about flowers blooming and dying and the philosophy of life. I guess over the weekend someone wrote on the walls inside the building with black marker. We got an email from the SC housing coordinator saying that everyone had to come to the meeting tonight or face disciplinary action. Since then, even more graffiti has been drawn on the building. Where the meeting was supposed to be, someone earlier today wrote "Art is a" in black markers, and "Crime" in red spray paint. At the meeting, the coordinator and DPS officer told us that the person has to confess and pay for the damages. If no one comes forward, then everyone will be interviewed by DPS, and if they find out who did it, the person will be prosecuted. If no one comes forward, and they can't find out who did not, everyone will be charged $200 per graffiti. So far there have been 7, so that would be $1,400 per person. And if you are graduating this semester, you must pay that so you can even graduate. In the housing contract, there is something about all residents paying for damages if no one is found to caused them Yeah, that pretty much pissed everyone off. Everyone thinks it was the crazy guy, and we sure a heck do not want to pay $1,400 because someone wanted to write with black marker on the walls. Thankfully, after the meeting, the girl who was standing next to me went up to the officer and said she saw who painted the spray paint. Hopefully that means we won't be getting charged.
TV wise, I hope this week's Heroes was good. Last week's was just a little lacking for me. I don't know, it just felt like a slow pace, and wasn't all that exciting. I'm just hoping this week's was a little better. The Office has been really good. The post-Super Bowl episode, wow, was the best ever. The fire opening was the funniest opening I have ever seen. Also, the road trip with Pam and Michael was pretty good. Him falling on the ground, that was so Michael. I can't believe he cut Holly's sweater! I haven't read any spoilers, so I'm still wondering if she will be making a come back. I hope so since she really fit into the show well.

99 Problems by the Jay-Z
Selected because: I have a midterm and lab report due next week, have to find an apartment tomorrow, and have to worry about having to pay for vandalism. Maybe it's not 99 problems, but it feels like it to me right now
