This was my Spring "Break":
Sunday - leave for Purchase, NY
Sunday Night - arrive in Purchase, NY
Monday - go check out SUNY Purchase. Get there at 8:15am. Go on tour. Mingle with faculty. Get it on with hot student. Mingle with more faculty.
Tuesday Morning - go back to SUNY, and find out where the hell my financial aid is. They explain that they fucked up, and offer like $1800.
Tuesday Afternoon - leave for Amherst, MA. In car for 5 hours on I-90. Decide that SUNY Purchase was pretty much a dank pit, but wouldn't be awful to attend, especially considering all the rich people in Westchester. And their daughters.
Tuesday Night - arrive in Amherst, MA. Pretty sweet place.
Wednesday - check out Hampshire College. Go on tour. Meet a few faculty, talk to some students. Eat food there.
Wednesday Night - Decide that Hampshire is one awesome school. Design my own course plan, no grades, take classes from any of five Amherst colleges. Sweet. Remember that I'm still wait-listed. Fuck.

So, I've pretty much narrowed it down to two schools. Do I go to Emerson, or do I go to Hampshire? I've broken down the pros and cons.

Emerson - Accepted, but still haven't heard about financial aid, and they're giving me bullshit about that. Awesome school, though. Has what I want to study, great students, faculty knows their shit. Boston freaking rules, too.

Hampshire - Still on wait-list, but it's looking good and I should get some decent financial aid. Not too sure about the courses or the school's focus, but they basically let the student design their education. Awesome. They're also really left-wing, which is nice. Seriously, some of these guys make me look like a moderate.

Oh, and I've got two weeks to decide. Man, am I fucked, or what?

The bill specifically categorizes a number of items that are said to be harmful to minors if they appear in a game. These include a character "engaging or offering to engage in sexual activity with or for another in exchange for anything of value," the showing of "uncovered, or less than opaquely covered, human genitals, pubic area, or buttocks, or the nipple or any portion of the areola of the human female breast," and any images of "covered human male genitals in a discernibly turgid state," for example.

Does "turgid state" mean an erection? Can't they just say that? Better yet, use "boner". I swear, they just put grey area all over these bills. Crazy-ass Senators.

Good for those Tar Heels, though. They actually understand that if these games aren't sold to minors in the first place, parents won't have anything to bitch about when their twelve-year-old takes a shiv to his best friend. Morons. At the same time, could "showing of 'uncovered, or less than opaquely covered, human genitals, pubic area, or buttocks, or the nipple or any portion of the areola of the human female breast'" be taking it too far? I saw my first non-mother boob when I was like three years old, touched one at ten, and saw the first set of testicles that weren't mine at the YMCA locker room at twelve. And I'm fine.

Suck it up, people.
