So not much new these days.
I can't hardly get online since it's at dial up speed. It's excruciating. I wouldn't even call it dial up speeds. This is probably how slow it went when the first person in the world went online. But when the first person ever went online, what did they go online to see. If they were the first, what was there?
What WAS internet when it was created. What was it that they set out to create? How did they create it? Who are "they", we all know it wasn't Al Gore, despite what he may say.
How do you make up an idea for something that isn't tangible? How do you present that to your fellow internet inventors? "Hi, my name is Anton and I have this idea. Let's make the internet." I wonder what they called it before it was called the internet...
The world wide web? A web of what? The data tubes? Online? On what line? Where is this line?
You know...I'm not even sure I know what the internet IS. Where is all this stuff stored? The air? Certainly not. Does it need to be stored or is that the idea of the internet?
I'd Google it, but my internet doesn't work very well as it is and I am worried it would be offended that I didn't know anything about it and would break off from me altogether.
Another boggling question of the day...who is this Stuart that always comments on my journal. My best guess is Lee. He's the only person I know cool enough to be so allusive. I could be wrong though. In which case. I apologize to the REAL Stuart.
Lindsay, Danny and I went and saw The Other Boleyn Girl last night. It was...good. Book was better. It felt a bit rushed. Natalie Portman BLEW me away. She was fantastic! That character MUST have been rough. The Queen left a lot to be desired. Aside from her mole, she was unimpressive. That mole however. I have only ever seen ONE other mole equal to that mole's size (and placement as it were).
I had to burry my head in my hands when on three occasions. The rape scene of Anne, her FACE killed me. The other two times were to hide laughter. When Mary is in the King's bedroom, there's this GIANT furry blanket on the bed, not unlike the blanket Danny has on his bed that we have dubbed his "wolf skin". Not attractive. The second time was when Danny leaned over in all seriousness after Anne has her baby, Elizabeth, and says "Now, is that Kate Blanchet?" aka the woman who played the Queen in "Elizabeth the Golden Age". I almost died with laughter.
Since I read the book, I embarrassingly started crying when Mary goes to plead for her sister's life. Lindsay was looking at me like I was NUTS.
At first I was annoyed with how lightly they skimmed over the change in religion in England however I suppose it is a good thing for the Episcopalian church. It wouldn't have looked good in that light. Church of England was created so King Henry the VIII (<right?) could get rid of his wife and her mole". Wouldn't look good at all.
Book was better.
Enough said.
In other literary news, I am trying to keep myself from finishing ALL my reading for ALL153 before it's due (I'm already done with assignments up to April 28th) and bought a copy of Pride and Prejudice. I've read it before but I don't think I really understood it.
I just reached meeting Mr. Wickham and laugh unreasonably loud when Mr. Collins says ANYTHING at all.
It's cold today. 61 degrees. Brrrr.
Sorry. Not funny I'm sure. All the same...cold.
I leave on Sunday at 2:45 (aka 11:45 pm on Saturday for you) for Byron Bay. I can't wait to see Paris again. She left Wednesday and I already miss her wit.
Mary
