Pedantry High-Five!
Nov. 15th, 2007 03:19 pmTHE WEEK OF A THOUSAND MINUS NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY-SEVEN ESSAYS IS OVER. JOY.
In my Approaches to Literary Studies seminar, one of my fellow students said, "So there aren't actually sexy times in The Prelude?" It was marvellous. Then someone made a truly terrible joke along the lines of "What do pirates drink? L-ARRR-GER", and I spent the rest of the seminar thinking about dreadful jokes (one of the highlights of my October was a series of 'bee jokes' batted back and forth between my brothers, beginning with the already fairly awful "Why do wasps buzz? Because they like to BEE annoying" and completely deteriorating to "Why do bears live in the woods? BEE-cause... they can") and bursting out laughing at inappropriate moments. LOOK, THE WORSE A JOKE IS THE MORE HILARIOUS I FIND IT. DON'T JUDGE ME. IF YOU WANT TO TELL ME SOME REALLY BAD JOKES, FEEL FREE.
(I love my Approaches to Literary Studies seminars. We always end up getting completely sidetracked and discussing the similarities between Hamlet and The Lion King.)
Also, I am catching up on Series Four of House - I've just watched the fourth episode of the series - and I have developed a distinct fondness for Thirteen. She sort of reminds me of Cameron, back when Cameron was lovely. PLEASE DO NOT RUIN THIS ONE, HOUSE WRITERS.
