So recently it has gotten cold enough here to snow (even if it wasn't much and didn't last long) and currently the water has frozen random bits of the sidewalk with thin, well concealed patches of ice.

Today, leaving the BSB, I had my official first fall of this winter season. :) It was a pretty good fall too, took me by complete surprise. I was there walking down the outside steps in a lively pace when all of a sudden WHOOSH! I was in the air! My legs kicked out completely and hovered with me at a nauseating one feet above the ground! Before any survival techniques could kick in, before any thoughts could cross my mind, I could feel gravity begin to tug on my coat hem (seeing as I wore no shirt tails at the time). Down, down I fell until, after what seemed four seconds, the ground and I reestablished our relationship. Startled and slightly dazed from the brief but action packed affair between the ground and my posterior I got up while replying to a witness to the brief fling. Walking away with neither pain nor pleasure in my heart or elsewhere I felt I was just witness to the start of a new season in both our existences.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The best new movie in quite a bit of time that I have seen. (At least from what I remember)

GO SEE IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another reason why I love Hugh Laurie and the British...

HL: That's right... okay, here's my theory: my theory is that English people are fundamentally mean, we like to look at unpleasant things happening to other people. We like to... we laugh at people less fortunate than ourselves

(Michael and Jane Laugh)

HL: I think... Americans, I think, are more generous, more open-hearted. They like... they laugh at people, they laugh at the things they wish they'd said, and they admire people who have the quick-wittedness to say them. I think there is something more generous in the way American audiences look at comedy, and at drama too. I think, uh, Americans like to admire and the English are just too mean to admire anybody.

That's from an interview he did at a radio station somewhere. ^_^

Yes I did go home early on Friday. For those that saw me that may be why I looked odd. Yes I do feel better after getting a lot of sleep and eating chicken soup. There is no longer need to worry.

So on a funnier note, Friday evening I watched the Magnificent Seven. But before we watched it I told Elisabeth to put it in the VCR, only I called it the Mancifent Seven. Then me and Elisabeth were joking and one of us said, "Im-immmm a maade up word!" A very Homesar thing to say. Quite amusing.

So yes that's about it. I am pretty sure that I will be in school on Monday but there is always a change I will not. So I'll talk to everyone later.

The following excerpts are actual answers given on history tests and in Sunday School quizzes by children between 5th- and 6th-grade ages in Ohio. They were collected by two teachers over a period of three years. Read carefully for grammar, misplaced modifiers, and, of course, spelling! Kids should rule the world, as it would be a laugh-a-minute for us adults and, therefore, no time to argue or.... to wage war...
