So, I get an email back from my Corporate Finance professor today regarding my final grade. On the two unit tests and final exam, I had a 101.3% average. For our group presentation/paper, which he held off on grading until after all the exams were done, he gave us a motherfucking C, which put me exactly 6.75 points (out of 440 total for the semester) below an A, because he requires a 97% average to receive an A. What a douche bag, extraordinaire. His response to my email, asking for specifics on why we got such a low grade on our project? "I have extremely high expectations for A grades in my class". (insert head turning red, exploding-emoticon here)

I don't know whether to be more pissed about getting corn holed over yet another group project/presentation (which was the best in the class, ffs).. or about the total arbitrary grade. Six frigging points!

Gaaaaaaaaaaah.

Ooh, that is nice. Don't you have that book Aeryk? It's funny that we have all this Space Hulk stuff and yet 95% of the time, it's Torch the Toilet.

I saw this interesting looking movie at Amoeba yesterday, it's a silent film version of Call of Cthulhu (made in the modern day but intended to look like it was made in the '20s I guess). Hmm. A little imdb research turns up a lot of reviews with titles like "Lovecraft: Spinning at Speeds Similar to Those Used in Testing an Astronaut's Stamina in His Own Actual Grave!" so I guess this probably isn't exactly a home run, but maybe it's worth throwing in the Netflix queue anyway*.


* Actually Netflix doesn't have it. When I searched for "Cthulhu" the best it could come up with was "Jane Goodall: Reason for Hope"

Wowee!

If only we had a rad game club and could pool our money. I'm interested to see where this on ends up.

SPACE HULK!!!!
