I still haven't gotten around to getting a christmas tree, but I bought everything else instead.
I bought a two foot poinsettia, it's more of a bush than a plant, for the living room. I also bought a tiny poinsettia for my bedroom. For the pinetree smell, I bought a christmas pine wreath. The wreath is sitting on my coffee table and gives off that nice pine scent.
I've also strewn christmas decorations on every available surface. I might not have a christmas tree, but I've got a ton of christmas decorations around the place right now.

I got up at 7 am this morning, turned on the TV and watched as Tom Brokaw announced that there was special news. For a moment my heart stopped thinking of 9/11, but instead he announced that Sadam Hussein was captured.
Is it really him? I thought the guy had three doubles, or was dead. Where the heck did he get $750K in US cash? And the most important question, what happens to him now?
War crimes tribunal? What about his two sons? What happened to them? Are his people going to try and rescue him, and we get a scene like in the movie "SWAT"?

Still immersed in studying for my modern art history final. Dwelling on questions and issues such as:
1) differences between minimalist and post-minimalist art
2) factors in minimalism that lead to conceptual art
3) characteristics of postmodern art
4) explaining Jean Baudrillard's theory of "Simulacra and Simulations" and how it applies to postmodern art
5) the wider significance of Christo's art
6) the wider signficance of Philip Guston's later work
7) the changing paradigm of beauty in modern art, especially the work of body/image artists of the 1990's.

I'ved been busy studying for my modern art history final on Monday. I love taking classes, but the tests I could do without.
I've had such a busy week too, with events every night until Wednesday. On Thursday I felt happy just to have a free night with nothing to do, that I ended up going to bed early.
I have to do some Christmas shopping tomorow, so Saturday is devoted to studying. I have a great story about sitting on the screenwriting panel at The Academy of Art College Wednesday afternoon, which I hope to write about sometime this weekend. There were even three movies presented that I thought could potentially be made into films, which was a first for me since I started doing screenwriting.
More later.
