People keep saying that Sue. And i understand what you mean. But seriously? It's all a mystery.
I found when I listen it to it read aloud, I get most of it, if I follow along with the riverside edition. But damn. It's too hard.
Which is why I have a shirt that says, "Chaucer. Because Shakespeare Was Too Easy."
House:
House-Wilson-Coma!Guy roadtrip! With extra House-Wilson eyefuckage!
I hate that guy.
I watched a full ad for that online by mistake.
I don't see the

I don't need my car to be livable. Drivable's much more important.

Ummm....Unless I can talk my school into starting a krav class, I got nothin'. Dammit.

1) my brand new iPod which was Not SO Much with the working all day (grey face, would not reset), snapped to when I plugged it in to the iBook.
2) I just found $95 in my paypal account that I had forgotten to wire to my checking account. RAWK!
Oh, House is going to do something wonderfully awful. And if anyone thinks that's a spoiler, they don't know House.
