Here’s a pretty cool article about the idiotic extension of copyright laws and some people who have managed to get their case to the Supreme Court. I hope the Supreme Court agrees with them: I think it’s hideous that Disney is forcibly extending the copyright laws to protect Mickey freaking Mouse. I was all pissed off when it happened — all talk, mind you, ’cause I didn’t do what this pair are doing — but pissed off anyway. So I hope they win!

It is my hope to swim this evening. We’ll see what else happens, but it is my hope to swim. I’m going to join the Masters’ team at APU. They swim mornings on MWF, so I may, to keep myself in schedule, swim TR mornings at UAA. Which would make my UAA alumni gym membership still useful, which would be pleasing to me.

But we didn’t let him go in to actually meet them, and I closed the door…

Chuck Jones, creator of Bugs Bunny, died yesterday. He was 89, so he’d had a good run of it, but it’s still sad. I slept in this morning, which is to say I woke up at the usual time and refused to get out of bed, while trying to chase the cats off. :) And now I think I’m going to go find some fud, ’cause I’m veeeeeery hungry!
