Tonight I went to a University of Oregon men's basketball game with my dad. The Ducks played against USC, and lost by about ten points. As always, the score didn't matter too much because I simply enjoyed getting out the house, going back to campus, and seeing a game with 8,500 other people. It was very interesting going back to campus again and seeing all the construction that's going on there. The place is changing pretty fast, and within ten years I'll not recognize at least a fifth of the campus. Now I really wish I had taken photographs when I was back in school, so I keep forever the images of the University of Oregon as it was when I attended.
I've got a few links to share with you all today!
- Andrea at Diary Of A Music Whore posted her "life soundtrack" today, showing us how she became the music whore that she is. I thought this was a very interesting and enlightening post, and I hope she links it on her site so she won't have to constantly explain why she likes the bands she does.
- Fred at Doomed To Rock mourns the passing of another local music shop in his area, and rants about the sorry state of music stores lately. I hear him loud and clear, and that's why I choose to (mostly) buy my music from my favorite local shop. And, well, I'd be a fool not to because my local shop gives me free music for shopping there (one free disc per 12 bought)!
- Do you like libraries? Ever wonder how the Dewey Decimal System came about? Curious about how the Dewey system compares to the Library of Congress system? Then check out this report from The Straight Dope that explains why libraries use the systems they use, and how those systems are organized. I, for one, think it's quite interesting and fascinating.
