Alive And Amplified

Yay, for I have received my 4-input dual-speaker stereo amp, including mic', plus 2 DS boxes, and it's very fucking loud.

Also, I'm going to Poland for a week. So what if it's not great for my studies? I can catch up. It's not like I'm missing two months like last year or anything, and I managed fine then. We get to see Auschwitz, which will be... "interesting" is all I shall say for now, but hopefully I will write more soon.

In the meantime, a little gem from history class:

The time might come when in your own country, on going to the cinema, you would be seeing American films sold for foreign consumption - and not those of the better quality, but those manufactured in greater quantity, and circulated and imposed abroad by the agents of powerful firms and cinema companies which have grown particularly rich during the war.
