Relative Deprivation



So, tonight in polisci we were discussing Relative VS absolute deprivation and such. The Prof was just using great examples. "So, when I walk in to Best Buy, I'm relatively deprived, because, I may have a nice 27" tv at home, but I don't have the 42" plasma hidef TV... " (and so on) Anyways, it was very good.

Had a long talk with AD tonight, as we are both continuing to feel like while we're very very good at helping each other with life, and working together towards mutual goals and all that stuff, we're not so good at the "just enjoy the relationship" part of things... so we're going to stick with what we're good at. Best friend, business partner, all that. Just not girlfriend/boyfriend. I think that leaves both of us happier and less stressed.

The apartment next to mine got broken into today (or yesterday) ... that's rather scary. The apartment manager has also been replaced with some new guy, which is nice since the old person was a real bitch. New guy may be a jerk too, but at least he answered the phone when I called a few days ago.

Starting to get ramped up for the scheduling suite for the studio. I did the database design last night, along with the flowcharting for the program. Hopefully I'll get the tables built tomorrow, and maybe start with the file structure.
