"It's bleedin' demised!" "It's not! It's pining!"
I got back from the Adirondacks today. Needless to say, it was boring as hell. Nothing much happened. Except I saw Madame O'Donovan-Hunt and Mr. Hunt at Lake Placid which was sort of weird. My dad bought me this new Bob Dylan poster. Too bad I have NOWHERE to put it. Oh well, I'll make room. Maybe I'll put it on my ceiling. Okay only two people would get that and they don't even read this so that was pointless.
I got home around 3:00 and then watched And Now For Something Completely Different (Monty Python film). It was really good. I love Monty Python. How can you not love this:
(after a customer asked for a new fork because his was dirty)
Waiter: No apologies I make can alter the fact that in our restaurant you have been given a dirty, filthy, smelly piece of cutlery.
Customer: It wasn't smelly!
Waiter: It was smelly and obscene and disgusting and I hate it, I hate it!
So has nothing to do with the previous paragraph, but in the Adirondacks I was reading my History of the English Language book and the author said that because of how the Indo-European languages are related, it can be assumed that a universal language was spoken at one time (which makes perfect sense) and he was talking about how people were trying to find out where the language originated. So what they did was they would examine the words and if words were similar in all of the Indo-European languages, then it could be determined that that word came from the original universal language, but if the words were different, then it could be determined that each language had to make up the words because they had never seen the things before. For example, all the words meaning "winter" were very similar, but all the words meaning "ocean" were different, so the universal language originated in someplace that had cold weather but was inland. They figure the language originated somewhere in Russia, I believe. This book was published in the 1930s though so they probably have more evidence and such now. Anyways I think that's the most interesting thing I've ever heard.
The Rolling Stones have a new album coming out in September and apparently one of the songs is called "My Sweet Neocon" (or maybe just "Sweet Neocon, I don't know) and some of the lyrics are "You call yourself a Christian/I call you a hypocrite/You call yourself a patriot/Well I think you're full of shit"... It's directed to Bush (obviously)... Haha, I love it.
Tomorrow hopefully I'm getting together with Sam so we can run one more time before cross country starts on Monday. Even though we'll obviously be running during cross country. It just won't be the same (this is making me sad now). Earlier, I was going through some old Livejournal entries and I came across two funny quotes, one by Sam and one by Juhi. Haha, I love those guys. I haven't seen Juhi all summer, which sucks because she's hilarious. Cross country should be awesome because I get to see Tagger, Sam, and Alden almost everyday. Well not Alden because she has squash and stuff. But I get to see her more than I have been. I really just want school to start, I want to see everyone really badly plus I just want to get back into my routine (which is odd because my routine seems to be stressing out a lot). Although it makes me really sad that some people aren't coming back to AC next year (because they graduated or they're just not coming back). I'm gonna miss all you you who aren't coming back sooo much. I've made myself all depressed now. I'm going to go.
