Recent excellent movies I should maybe watch with the family this week? Profanity is fine, ultra violence won't fly, sci fi is a no go, and while I have an excellent and mature relationship with my mom I'm just not going to be able to watch sex scenes that last more than five seconds with her.

This morning I got in the elevator with one of our ADs, who's also in law school. I asked her if she's ready for break. She mumble/groaned at me "I've still got two exams" and said "Good night" when I got off the elevator.

Help or advice? Student needs circulation/readership numbers for the late 1950s for some major publications like NYT and Life, as well as small newspapers and a couple of broadcast media. We don't have institutional access to auditedmedia.com. Thanks for any ideas!

I successfully met my first timed obligation this morning, waking up to let the exterminator in. Now all I have to do is remember to log into VR at one, and I'm off the hook until Monday.
Me: "I'm probably leaving early tomorrow; I need to come in because I have a VR hour." Coworker: "You're coming in to work VR? Why don't you just do it from home?" Me: "Because I didn't realize how dumb that was until I said it out loud to you just now."
It is definitely to be played and enjoyed, though I'm going to get a guitar shop to seal the signature next week when I get paid. It sounds great. It's got some features that are definitely improvements over my old guitar.
