Entries in the Category "rewards"

Received in the mail today...

  • From Netflix: Scarface, the Shame of the Nation (1932)

  • An ad for a local Jewish community center gym.

  • Two coupons for Bed Bath and Beyond to throw on my preexisting pile of Bed Bath and Beyond coupons.

  • Two boxes from Amazon! My "I passed my MA exam" celebration care package which I ordered for myself!
    • One book of short stories

    • Kill Bill vols. 1 and 2 on DVD (because, though I prefer vol. 2, to have only vol. 2 on DVD seemed incomplete)

    • the third season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Last night, I finished all my reading for my theory course--the reading for today, Friday, and next Monday, which is the last day of classes. This involved reading a lengthy passage by Kant sometime after midnight, which I would not recommend to novices.

My reward: two episodes of The Office before bed.
