I was never planning on making a blog call out for person to get on AIM, but was actually rather hoping to talk to Cassie.

The question seriously arises if today is a stay in my pajamas all day sort of day. The answer is probalby no, cause my hair is dirty and starting to drive me nuts.

Beauty and the Beast is different from a lot of faerie tales. Particularly Disney ones. Cassie commented on the kiss they share in the Disney movie, how it's not some peck, it's a real honest to goodness kiss. But the thing is, Beauty had to fall in love with her Prince, not be kissed awake, or chased down by some guy who can match feet to shoes. It's the whole point. And so it only makes sense for her to have a real kiss.

FRODO: How come, if I'm the protagonist, Lord Aragorn has TWO love interests, and I'm stuck in a subplot with Dick Cheney?
Somebody didn't like The Two Towers.

Libby's scarf is nearly finished. Having proved to myself on numerous occasions that I can in fact knit sweaters (cables, plain knitting, fair isle, whatever), scarves and mittens, I next want to learn how to knit socks.

So, Cassie and I went off to do all sorts of stuff, go to Fresh Fields, Giant, the Pet Store and other stuff, and in the end we missed dinner, and ate at Friday's. And as she brought Cassie her box and me my cheesecake, Cassie noticed a bug (a small roach) on the table. We had the cheque, and my soda glass was empty. So I caught the bug under my cup, and when our waitress came back, we told her there was a bug under the glass. She looked under it, gasped, slammed the glass back down, and said "I'll be right back." So a manager came over, apologized for the bug thing, said "Is that your cheque?" "Yes," said we. "Not anymore," said he as he snatched it out of Cassie's hands. We tipped our waitress rather well, and I left her a note saying thank you, sorry for the bug.

Rey has been urging me to go to Senior Snack next week. It's really rather cute, right after she was telling me how great it was going to be (she refuses to tell me what they are serving, just that it will be good) another Junior in the CoffeeShop was telling another Senior the same thing.

I have always found this to be rather amusing. I'd forgotten about it until I watched Beauty and the Beast with Cassie this evening.

Just came up with all the conceivable misspellings of Achilles that I could come up with off the top of my head and put them into the autocorrect bit of Word to turn it into Achilles. I actually quite like the autocorrect add-in feature. It makes writing papers easier. (And no, I've never told it to turn "Aristotle" into "The Philosopher.")

I wonder how Darwin would feel about the fierce creation/evolution debates. God or monkeys. I remember reading an excerpt from something he'd written, a journal, maybe, or a letter, maybe even mart of The Voyage of the Beagle that when he sailed out from England he had no doubt in the Bible, and that he was going to become a reverend when he came home.

Dude, I might have found some purpose to using the copiously detailed notes I took on the catalogue of the ships. I wrote down who came from where and how many ships they brought, and I'm thinking about writing about how the size of the army they brought doesn't matter much, cause while Agamemnon is leading the army cause he brought the most ships (100), he listesn to Diomedes and Ajax, who didn't bring many ships at all (12 each), while other people have brought more ships and no one cares about them.

Woke up this morning, B&G was knocking on the bathroom door, cause a toilet was clogged. I sort of stumbled into the hall, needing to use the toilet, asked them if I could go in, they sort of laughed, said, sure, and could I tell them if there was anyone in there. When I came out and assured them that it was empty, they asked me if my room was warmer this morning. I told them it was warmer this morning, but last night it was freezing. They said it was freezing everywhere last night, and the wind was blowing at my window last night. They then explained what they did yesterday, and all in all it made me happy.

That upsets me, vaguely. I was going to write a long paper on that. And there it is in a few words. (Okay, I was going to write a bit more, like why we might care, etc. But my point still stands.)

Damn. Went to oed.com to look up word derivation of "hero" to see if it is as obvious as being from the Greek (cannot make Greek letters...rough breathing eta rho omega), and this was a definition it gives: " 1. Antiq. A name given (as in Homer) to men of superhuman strength, courage, or ability, favoured by the gods; at a later time regarded as intermediate between gods and men, and immortal."

My hands are cracking. I put lotion on. I am considering Neosporin, cause I have it, and there was a commercial saying that you should use Neosporin on cracks in your hands when it's dry and cold, and they will go away faster. God, it was a stupid commercial, and I don't want to listen to it's advice, but my hands hurt.

Once while I was working on an anual essay (I don't know if it was last year or sophomre year), I set Word to automatically correct any contraction into the full form of the words, cause you aren't supposed to have contractions in such essays. It's amusing, cause I was just typing up notes, and I typed in "I'm" and it turned it into "I am."
