Thursday, September 4, 2008

On the last night of the weirdest summer of my life I would like to say, "STRINGER BELL IS DEAD."
That goes out to you, Dad. Tonight was Inspector Lynley, and pizza night. Could it get any better?

Really. I'll be driving back east for a Sunday morning arrival in my dorm starting tomorrow morning. Tomorrow's highlights include a visit to Uncle Hoagie-Free-Zone's house, which I have not yet seen but greatly anticipate, and the beginnings of my re-read of Daniel Deronda for Master Awesome's class.

Hector: The best moments in writing are when you come across something—a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things—which you had thought special and particular to you.

There are fickle inexplicable changes which occur in us: for example I first of all found that radishes agreed with me; then they did not; now they do again. --Montaigne, "On Experience"
The only obligation which I have the right to assume, is to do at any time what I think right. --Henry David Thoreau
Angel: [The Virgin Mary] never got over not having grandchildren. I say to her, well, look on the bright side. What about Gothic architecture? With two thousand years of Christianity to your credit what are grandchildren? But, as she said to me in a moment of confidence, "You can't knit booties for the Nicene Creed." --Alan Bennett
