I did things today and I felt much better about myself for doing so. I picked out a license to analyze for an upcoming assignment and claimed it on the discussion board. I also heard back from my partner for the upcoming and it looks like we are going to be looking deeper into the acquisition of image databases. At the moment I know absolutely nothing so it will be an educational week. And most of my day was spent reading seven chapters for my technology class. That was really a setup for the paper I have to write this week. We have to write about databases in libraries and I have to come up with two other sources. Not sure where those are going to come from. It is really hard to search for information about the history of databases in libraries without just getting a bunch of results for History databases. I'll figure it out.

After dinner I finished up my reading and then watched The Oscars. It's not over yet but the beginning was dominated by Mad Max: Fury Road. It was beginning to feel a little suspicious. Story-wise it was pretty boring, lets drive out there and then come back again, but it was visually impressive. I think Oscars pools at work are thing people do and the sheer number of wins that Mad Max got had to have ruined almost everyone's picks. Chris Rock is hosting and he has been pretty funny but I've got to say my favorite part has been the commercials. Samsung has been killing it.

And... holy cow. It kind of seemed like a foregone conclusion this year but Leonardo DiCaprio just won his first Oscar. And speaking of killing it, he nailed his acceptance speech. One that was not interrupted by music even though he easily went over his time. Smart move on the part of the guys in the control room. On a side note, Leonardo DiCaprio always looks like he's got chewing tobacco in his lip. At least every time I have seen him recently. Just an observation.

Soon I'll probably be going to bed. It's already eleven o'clock but I'm not tired. I'm afraid this will turn into another week of late nights and poor sleep. At least this week I'll be able to put part of the blame on schoolwork.
