sadlikeknives1. While Telly was here, we watched Final Fantasy: Advent Children and I finally understood what was up with those three guys at FH. And not a lot else, honestly, until after I processed for a while, because I wouldn't know the game it's based on if it bit me in the ass. I did, however, appreciate the staggering amounts of pretty. As well as the fact that the big bad's theme is basically a Dies Irae mass. Fabulous.
2. I have no idea what's up with TR and Cat, but we have a class together every freakin' day, they sit across the room from me, they don't wait around to so much as say 'hi' afterward, and I am pretty damn sure I haven't actively done anything to piss them off.
3. I bought wine for the first time the other day, and the woman didn't even card me. I wanted to be like, "No, look, twenty-one! For less than a week!" Sigh.
4. I'm taking Western Civ to 1648 because I somehow missed the requirement somewhere in there, and this is the easiest way to handle that. The professor is Canadian (He says 'aboot'! For reals!) and specializes in American history, so this ancient Greek stuff we're doing now is kind of kicking his ass. Today included Thermopylae, and Tuesday is Alexander the Great, and I'm afraid I'm going to really annoy him before it's all said and done, but I don't want it taught wrong.
5. The Western Civ textbook is slightly moronic. It goes on at length about the inhospitable climate in Mesopotamia and how it's amazing civilization got its start there, while using modern weather statistics. And I'm flailing and going, "Ten thousand years ago! Weather was a little different! FERTILE CRESCENT, PUNKS!!"
