Let the Feast of a Thousand Hams commence!

This is it. It's all over. Exams are done, papers are finished. It's all over but the eventual Day of Reckoning.
The paper. Since scm put her vitals up, I'll mention mine. 22 pages. Actually, probably more like 21, but Word does some wierd things with formatting, spacing, and headings. Only 62 footnotes, though. I don't know how many times I referred to 17 USC @ 1201 in the footnotes, but I'm sure it was a lot. Big props to Simon Singh, and his Code Book for some great historical and factual stuff. Essentially, the paper argues that DMCA should be re-written so that circumventing ecryption alone isn't a crime, but circumventing AND copyright infringement mean that you get smacked in the face with the mother of all fish. (THWACK!) As the law currently stands, you have a whole lot of encryption researchers out there who either are refusing to publish, or refusing to research in the first place.
In other news, I'm trying to get Reeta to blog about how she and Claire have been watching Fear Factor together. Apparently, they saw one episode, and then they started playing "Fear Factor" by eating gummi stuff really fast and showing the other person that they swallowed it. I'm also trying to convince her to post her own review of Van Helsing, which promises to be less forgiving than mine was.
I should also mention that Claire somehow got a black eye last week. Her face got into a fight with the hot tub. Guess who won. I taught her that when people ask about it, she should point to it, and say "Oh this? This is nothin'. You should see the other kid." Hi-larious. She's healed a lot, now, but it was a pretty big shiner there for a while.
For the rest of today, I'm going to relax, maybe hit the mall and the used video game store. Today is read and play and nap day, for tomorrow, I go to work! I'll be working on campus again this year - half time for media services and half time for one of the professors. Fun, fun stuff.
