- First off, you guys are allowed to comment. Tell me I'm wrong, or drunk, or that I'm stupid and my mother dresses me funny. You don't even need a google account.

- Talked to my uncle for a little while yesterday, and it pulled me out of my stupor. So, that's cool. I really, really want to get to Florida sometime this March.

- My sister is taking her ACT this Saturday, and that isn't really fair, because it's hard to compare (my) SAT scores to (her) ACT scores... I kid. She'll probably bury my score anyway, and then I'd just be embarrassed. Which is kind of a perpetual state with me.

- Thomas More was convicted of treason, the punishment of which is to be hung, drawn and quartered. But since King Henry VIII was such a good guy, More got off with a beheading. "Aye, and it reminds me of a song." - Haggis McMutton.

- HenryVIII I am. Henry VIII I am, I am. I got married to the widow next door... sorry....

- Next time someone asks you how you did something, look at them and say "Through sheer force of will!" in your best Murray, TTDS, impersonation. They'll look at you funny, but you'll feel better. Or weird. That's basically the same thing anyway.

- I was talking to a friend and they mentioned that I seem to willfully engage in campaigns of misinformation (they didn't use those exact words, but I think it's more accurate; I miss X-files). I guess I do, though I assume people know I'm kidding. So if I ever tell you I was in a car accident and died, it's only for the laughs. Just wanted to clear that up. "Cause sick people are hilarious!" - Jayne Cobb.

- I'm on this Firefly kick. It will pass soon. I guess they're going to kill off one of the heroes on Heroes. 'Bout time. They've been using that technique for all season on Prison Break.

- A little while ago I mentioned how I greatly dislike Arthurian mythology. The reason is because it seems to always follow the same formula, and it's predictable. "So Gareth dealt him a mighty buffet, striking his foe to the ground. The green knight did then yield, "For," quoth he "thou are truly the most valiant knight to walk the earth." Then the knight did swear fealty to Gareth.
"So Gareth and his lady rode seven days, and were beset by a red knight with a serpent on his shield. The battle continued 'til the falling of the sun, until each has six wounds and the ground was red with blood. Then the red knight did yield to Gareth. "Truly, a more righteous knight ne'er did I see," quoth he, and then swore his service to Gareth.
"Then Gareth and his lady rode seven more days..." etc, etc, etc. Of course, there's a little more detail, but that's basically the story of Gareth, and he's one of the better knights. The crazy thing is you could switch in like three different knights' names, and still it'd be a pretty accurate account of something. Boring. Norse ftw (or, as Oxhorn would say, "ffff-tttt-wwp").

Edit - 11 episode is up on corellian sector. I think I might start a second blog just for those. We'll see.
