Medically I think the chances are against it

What is it with
Eskimos versus Inuits lately? No matter what I watch, be it a television programme or a film, one character corrects another in saying that it should be said
"Inuits" and not
"Eskimos".
Apparently the term
"Eskimos" is considered offensive by many people. But why the sudden inclusion in so many productions? Have I missed a topical debate?
Anyhow, today:
I
again saw Hannah D. at the bus stop, which was again rather pleasant.
On the way to Racodac, Ron Perlman's identical twin got on the bus. Seriously, he looked *just* like him.
At Racodac, I cracked on with my
Typography project, which I surprisingly finished & printed. This means that I can have the weekend off of doing work. Woohoo.
During the final stages of my Typography project, my Storytelling tutor, John L. spotted me and a couple of other Moving Image Design students, saying that we were an hour late for a lecture. So we hurried along to Broadcasting and entered a room full of second & third year MIDers. Hmmm. I'm pleased I went though, as the speaker did the special effects in
Blade II,
Die Another Day and
Dinotopia. 'twas quite interesting.
On the way home, my bus pulled up next to a stationary double-decker bus which was empty save for the driver. I mention it, as the driver was immersed in a
GameBoy game. So now I know why the buses turn up late.
