...Ahh, Oscar. In 70 years of deciding the merits and failings of film, the Academy Awards have been glorified and vilified, denounced as narrow-minded political dealings between Hollywood muckety-mucks and praised as clearly focused ideals of what is and isn't great about film-making...
...claiming that everything I touch turns to gold, but I keep pickin', and I keep getting better at it; I figure one of these days, I'll set up shop in the Park Street T-stop and find myself swept along from Boston to the world. Ahh...sounds beautiful.

Ahh, but here's the one, obvious beauty of a pencil: graphite disappears with a little help from that wonder of physics, friction. Pencils at Harvard are reserved for either those who aren't vain enough to care about permanence or for taking exams, where we would rather not have our confused hieroglyphics remembered. Pencil use has its hierarchy, though: note the dichotomy between integral-calculators, who use mechanical pencils...
