The Fireside Book of Dog Stories

I began watching the Return of the King cast commentary and realized that I had already watched this one too. It was sad because I was looking forward to it, but I still watched it anyway and enjoyed it immensely.

"Pity the poor insomniac dyslexic agnostic. He stays up all night wondering if there really is a dog."

"The Japanese eat little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. the Italians drink a lot of red wine and they, too, suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you."

I stumbled across those jokes and enjoyed them quite a bit, so I thought I'd share them with you.

Mozart's Fantasy in D Minor is very pretty. I like it.

Today I went to a garage sale thing with my mother and I found a bunch of old books, some of which I bought. There was an analytic geometry book from 1935 and a 50 year old organic chemistry book. I might give that chem book to my uncle who is a professor of organic chemistry. There was also a book entitled Opportunities in the Armed Forces which was published in 1942... I thought that was interesting. Another book I bought was from 1943 and it had a little paragraph at the beginning about publishing books during wartime. I also bought a few others from the 20's, 30's, and 40's. On top of all that, I found some old jazz and classical records. I ended up buying a Glenn Miller one and a Doc Severenson one along with a couple others. Then I found Spider-Man 2 on VHS for $2.50. The only bad part of the afternoon was having to deal with my mother's inept driving.

Some people are hopelessly horrible at the 3-word game. Did you misplace your brain?

I got an email from my math 285 prof a couple days ago concerning the textbook for the class. He seems nice so far... as much as one can tell from an email. Anyway, as it turns out, I will have to purchase a new math book. Oh well.

I think I have allergies or something. I've been sneezing a lot lately and my nose has been itching quite a bit.

Scamper is a cute movie. I watched it today and it brought back childhood memories. It's weird to think about, but there was one time when it was my last time seeing that movie (before today). I mean, the last time I sat down and watched that movie could've been the last time in my entire life and I didn't know it. Why did I never watch it after that time? It was my favorite movie. Did I forget about it, misplace it, get tired of it? I was thinking about that with regard to other things... things I used to do all the time and then one day I did it for the last time without even knowing it.
