@Bek: That’s the first confirmation I’ve had that anyone actually clicks the “This Week’s Panel” Link. The trailer has me excited too. It’s effective.

This sucks and I wish it weren’t the case, but I understand most of the point. If you’re in education or are a historian then it makes sense, but otherwise I can see why they wouldn’t want you to do this.
The exception being requested from the copyright office, which is what the ESA is fighting against, is specifically for Academics and Museums. It is not for general members of the public.

I could only hear half of this because one of the panellists decided to go for a blustery stroll in the middle of it…
I believe that was SN. It won’t be happening again. I’ve spoken to the panelists about this before and it appears he has forgotten.

I demand up-to-the-minute details of your in-home travel. How far have you walked in your house today? How many trips to the bathroom, the kitchen, the garage?

I think SN said something along the lines of it being hard to really get into from a live reading and I really agree with that.
I think this has more to do with the poetry selected than the genre itself. Wordsworth wrote in a style that really demands to be read and thought about and pondered and read again. Next week, I’ll have something a little easier to follow.

Also, I have a special announcement next week on this topic. :)

I thought that movie was pretty awful. Danny R. was fine I guess, but it was hard to notice when the rest of the film was so filled to the brim with shit.

Imitanis Gaming Moment
I played nothing, but I did listen tostreaming classical music for quite a while. It’s good working music.
I also paid my taxes, woo.

Final Notes
I understand the breaks from the novels, but I find it really hard to get into the poetry. I think SN said something along the lines of it being hard to really get into from a live reading and I really agree with that.

Final Quotes
“As all of my great ideas, if I were to do it it would result in me being arrested.”
