YARR
I really have to see Moulin Rouge. I'm in love with the songs alone. Why can't I ever find it?
So I've already read two books over the weekend - Shadow Thieves by Anna Ursu (or Ana, however it was spelled) and Steve Altan's The Loch. Which in itself was good. Shadow Thieves didn't live up to my expectations, though it wasn't bad. Kaylee, if you're in the mood for a long read, history on a lot of things including Scotland, and some gore, pick the Loch. It's amazing.
I wish I had a Scottish accent. They sound sexy.
We watched Zathura today, and though it was a pretty good movie, there was a bit that was mildly confusing. I mean, I got what they meant, but how it could have ever happened was just beyond my mind.
You know, if I was one of the mutinous crew member present when Columbus set foot on American soil and declared he'd found India, I would've hit him with something as hard as I could and shouted, "Hey asshole! This ain't India!" I mean, if I was some great country with silks, gold, and spices, I wouldn't come running out in loinclothes made out of furs. It seems that, even though these Englishmen thought they were superiorly intelligent to the Indians, that they were pretty much dumb as fucking rocks. Excuse the language.
What really irks me is the way that old Christians seemed to corrupt previous religions so Christianity would become the world leader. Which worked. Poseidon's trident became the devil's pitchfork, Pan the devil's head, and the word "pagan", which is the worship of all natural balances and Nature itself, or so I've been lead to believe, became the word for devil worship. I mean, some may say that Dan Brown (who originally said this, yes, I know) was wrong about that, but c'mon. The similarities are too plain to be missed. Maybe I'm just an idiot, but whatever. I mean, people can be Christians if they want. Like I care. I just don't think Christians should've done that to old religions. And saying that people were barbarians or uncivilized just because their way of life was different or they weren't Christians. Or Catholics, or whatever. Nobody's uncivilized - they just have different ways of living.
That rant really had no point and will probably enrage any Christians I know, but whatever.
