Rain, oh so much rain. I watched Donnie Darko again today. That movie always brings out a questioning about philosophy in me. Luckily I'm in a Philosophy class. Until I get my HOPE scholarship back, there shall be no hanging out with people during the weekdays for me, because I need to study. So Friday, Saturday and Sunday I can do stuff

That was a good statement in that movie....

It rolls off tongue nicely...

the meaning, maybe not so much....

i actually just watched that twice yesterday, since there is nothing to do down here in valdosta....here is the origin of the words Cellar Door being the most beautiful...

Tolkien found it difficult to communicate to others what really was so great about them, but in his essay he makes an honest attempt: "Most English-speaking people...will admit that cellar door is 'beautiful', especially if dissociated from its sense (and from its spelling). More beautiful than, say, sky, and far more beautiful than beautiful. Well then, in Welsh for me cellar doors are extraordinarily frequent, and moving to the higher dimension, the words in which there is pleasure in the contemplation of the association of form and sense are abundant." He then lists concrete examples like Welsh wybren being "more pleasing" than English sky. -MC p. 190-193.

By the way, go go www.donniedarko.com and read into the website, you'll find out some interesting things....
