1. It is snowing outside. It has been snowing for almost seven hours. Hopefully no school/late start for tomorrow.

2. My daddy is watching FOTR. I will join him shortly.

3. I should really start reading "The Grapes of Wrath", since the book report is due in two weeks, yeah?

4. There is no number four.

5. Something interesting I learned in history today:

Pretend that you had to vote on a candidate based on only what I tell you. (If you've heard this before, don't spoil it for others):

Candidate A: Has had two known mistresses, drinks 8-10 martinis every night.

Candidate B: Sleeps until noon everyday, has been kicked out of office twice, chainsmokes, drinks a quart of whiskey every night.

Candidate C: Decorated war hero, doesn't smoke, and occasionally has a beer.

Congratulations if you voted for C, because you just elected Hitler as the leader of your country. :)

A was Roosevelt and B was Churchill. Never judge a book by its cover, eh? (Please don't bother correcting me, etc., I am only repeating what my history teacher said today.)

I've heard that before, but it amazed me the first time. When you think about it, the whole Holocaust would have been avoided if only Hitler had gotten accepted into an art academy... *le sigh*

Heh. Grapes of Wrath. Have fun. >_< At least when it's all said and done you can brag about having read the entire book. Whoo! It's not that bad... and 2 weeks is plenty of time! :-)
