thing is the daily bruin prides itself as a Serious News Organ For the Ucla Community, which translates into shitloads of stories about A Student Saw A Black Man On Levering Avenue And Hid In A Shrub and editorial cartoons in which lil people are depicted slipping from a pan labelled 'midterms' into a fire labelled 'finals'..... not sure how well any meditations on althusserian antihumanism or dissatisfaction with the senselessness of the Real will fit in......

Quoting in case poster edits.

You heard it here first. Despite railing about first world modernist excess, IWC literally flew to paris to better understand a Baudrillard novel. Bourgeois excess at it's most pure.

Besides this argument is so boring, you could have saved numerous lives with your earnings from the last week but chose not to in favour of your own pleasure, makes u think...

No one can have an invite for library.nu because the website has closed registration. I'll give you access to my account if you want but I want access to one of your accounts as collateral or you can just tell me what you want in PM and I'll see what I Can do..

I have a donator account there and I get invites every once in a while, it seems. anyone who has an account already should donate something and share out. I already sent my invite for this month or w/e to someone on badgame. but thats how you do it

I think also that library.nu just links to places on ifile where the actual document is, sort of like aarg using megaupload or w/e. so conceivably you could just pass people the ifile links directly? I don't know

i wouldn't go to UCLA because you pronounce that as "you-claw" in klingon and that means gay. well okay it doesn't mean gay precisely because that's a modern western term and klingon sexual mores developed autonomously (despite having a common ancestor). the correct word for gay is pronounced something like "you-claw"

aaaaarg dot org. its like a community-maintained library.nu in taht you can put up requests and maybe someone will have the book and upload it. a lot of the links they have go to mediafire, although a lot of them go to ifile which is annoying now
