first and foremost - everyone needs to read todds story and his poem b/c theyre absolutely amazing!!!!
so todays been dull...i had to babysit alex all day but it wasnt as bad as i thought. we played mario kart and mario party 4 and surprisingly - i won some of the mini game things *grin* i guess im just a master at nintendo.
ive been trying to finish summer reading. i read farenheit 451 and that was weird but good...and the contender was really good. now im trying to get into dr. faustus but its like impossible to get into it. its written kinda shakesperean [<--spelling?] and you have to read a phrase or two then look to the bottom for translations...haha i have to put forth a huge effort just to read and understand one page. haha heres and example:
"Faustus: Settle thy studies Faustus, and begin
To sound the depth of that thou wilt profess,
Having commenced, be a divine in show-
Yet level at the end of every art...
...Sweet Analytics, 'tis thou hast ravished me.
Bene disserere est finis logices.
Is to dispute well logic's chiefest end?"
haha gaw its so hard to focus on. like i understand the storyline just b/c i try to picture it in my mind - its a play by the way - so it has stage entrances and blah blah blah...its sooooo freakin confusing....ahhhhhhh haha ive been reading it for like 2 weeks and ive only read about 30 pages...
anyway -- im gonna go cook dinner....then take a shower...then try to find something mildly interesting to do tonight!! any ideas just fill me in!!!
