(no subject)
Today I have not felt as tired as I have been the last four weeks. Not sure if it is because I slept most of the weekend or something else. I am still waiting for the doctor's office to call me with the blood test results. I still believe that I will not hear until Wednesday, since I have a feeling the one test was not done on Thursday. I just want to know what is causing me to feel so tired and how to fix it.
I was watching News Hour with Jim Lehrer tonight and Anne Taylor Fleming did the last news story about if America is ready for a female president and if women are the reason why so few women hold offices. I cannot remember most of what she said, but it was interesting. I believe you might be able to find an audio link to it on The News Hour with Jim Lehrer website. For course only if you find that kind of thing interesting. I guess it was brought up due to Hillary Clinton's possible run for president the next election.
PBS has a special on tonight-on Marie Antoinette and it is very interesting. I know very little about her and her family. I never really studied French or Austrian history so much of what they mention is new to me, but very interesting. The historians (mostly women) who are talking have these beautiful French accents that just roll off their tongues. Makes one wish they could speak that way. They are showing some beautiful images of the Palace of Versailles and it makes me wish that when I was in Paris that I visit it. I choose to see Monet's Giverny. I love elaborate castles and royal apartments; I could spend hours looking at images or daydreaming about being in them. I believe this was probably done because of the movie with Kirsten Dunst that is coming out soon and probably wants to give the real story, rather than Hollywood’s water down version. However, from what I haven of the previews and what this special talks about the movie seems right on.
I am not sure how you could get this story wrong, but we all know that even the most well known historical events get changed by writers who think the average person could careless about historically accuracy and being entertained only. I hate to say that I am not one of those people and I feel almost insulted that they think I can be fooled by special effects and big names to see movies or love them. I like things to be accurate and not give me false information unless the movie is a piece of fiction, a writer's complete original idea, if even such an idea exists in this world of remakes, taken from books, comics or TV shows, prequels and sequels. For once, I want someone to inspire my mind and make me be able to see with my own eyes places and events that I would have never been able to because of when I was born. Sometimes I get tired of only know about events by reading, I want to be able to see it with my own eyes, as if I am involved in those events. I know not only want it looks like, but also what it feels like.
I got an e-mail tonight with the schedule for my soccer team's games. One problem, the first game is this Sunday and we have not practice or met up with each other at all. No one has offered any kind of practice schedule so I am not sure how the first game is going to go. Also, I have not turned in my forms to the team rep yet because I just got the e-mail on Friday. I have it done I just need to mail it and see what I am told. I also do not have the shirt as I am suppose to or any equipment at all.
