Wow, last night really sucked. I thought I had a ten-page fourteen-source essay due today, so I worked through the entire night. My essay ended up being horrible, probably the worst I wrote all year. I had a red bull and about four cups of coffee last night. Before going to class at eleven today,…

Austrian National Library Failure
Well, I got up nice and early today to go to the Austrian National Library. Finding the right entrance at the Hofburg was a chore, but I finally figured out the main one is right under the famous terrace where Hitler annexed Austria in 1938. I paid ’Ǩ1.50 to enter, and headed to the OPAC…

War of the Worlds
Yes, there’s some resemblance… War of the Worlds is a horrible movie. Oh wait, I guess I have to write “WARNING: Spoiler Below!!!” or something like that before I proceed. Then again, you might as well spoil the movie for yourself, because it’s not worth your time. Complaint #1: Sim City: The “tripods” reminded me…
