(Oh, yes, I'm back already.)
- Listening to a lot of Owl City and Hvorostovsky today...trying to purge my mind from that wretched Britpop documentary we had to watch yesterday. If anything would make me definitely not want to do drugs, it is that show, so bravo for that.
- Ten minute presentation next week, hooray. I'm cool with public speaking, but my presentations are always dull - poor, poor audience.
- I can't wait for Christmas.
- My sibs and I are on season 6 of Star Trek Next Generation. We started with S3 (per recommendation of Amazon reviews), and while it became my brother's instant fave, I didn't warm up to it until the end of S3, with the appearance of the Borg in "The Best of Both Worlds". Since then, I've been able to take it seriously and accept the new Enterprise. In fact, I'm starting to like it better than TOS, would you believe.
- Been reading Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables as well. I like Holgrave and Hepzibah. I feel like I ought to like Phoebe, too, but she's borderline Mary Sue. At a glance, she's a lot like Hilda from The Marble Faun, but Hilda is a real loner, a little more human and credible. It's one of those instances in which an author's character evolves and is perfected in a later version (e.g. John Thurston, Sherlock Holmes).
- I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving!
