If money were no object, you would find me at the theater almost every weekend this month:

May 1: Wolverine

May 8: Star Trek

May 15: Angels and Demons

May 22: Night at the Museum 2

I'm sure we'll splurge on Star Trek, but the rest will have to wait for the dollar theater *sobs*

In other news, my stomach is giving me trouble. Could it be the swine flu?!

I can't find my keys (uncommon for me) so Josh isn't going to preschool today.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the concept that archivists have to choose which records to keep and which to destroy. Yes, I can see that it would be easy to know to keep the records relating to those prominent members of society. But what about the glimpses into every day life, the diaries and photographs that let us see how the everyday person lived in 2009, 1985, 1973? How does one decide? I'm doing my literature review on this which means I'm reading a few articles on the issue. Hopefully I can gain some insight. I've always been under the impression that historians write history as we learn it in school. However, now I'm realizing that historians can only write what archivist preserve. If there isn't a document specifying that a certain event occurred, eventually it will be forgotten. There must be proof and this is the function of archives, to preserve that proof.

My keys were on the boy's Lego table. I have no idea how they ended up there.

Still procrastinating my literary review. It's always obvious which days I have assignments due because I have many more lj entries than usual. Expect a repeat tomorrow. Dang midterms.
