Fairly useless entry

Nine more days of classes. I'd like to be happy, but unfortunately, that means that I only have sixteen more days to do the final paper for Irish. Eeek.

*points to "current music" field* I wanna watch Northern Exposure now. Wish I had my tapes here... Oh, and Jon Stout has Twin Peaks DVDs. I may have to borrow them once Russell's done. Mmmm...the weirdness that is David Lynch, which equals creepy NX on crack. Woo-hoo.

In honor of Christmas, I changed my desktop picture to my holiday-ish one. Lookie.

And after this brief interlude, it's back to my history paper. I'm halfway done...

Becca! You're making me feel old again!

*snicker* I seem to do that to people...

Anyway, here is a link to the Bruce Hornsby site. I have memories from the first couple of albums only - "The Way it Is" and "Scenes from the Southside".

*listens* Hmmm...don't recognize it, but it's not bad...

I don't know about any of his more recent stuff, but I always liked the older "Bruce Hornsby and the Range" albums.

Heeeee. *bounces around continuing to be annoyingly young* *stops bouncing as she realizes she's not quite young enough to have that kind of energy*

I only listened to stuff from the albums you mentioned, so I definitely don't have an opinion on which is better.

ROFL! Like you're so old! ;)

Not sure I'm inclined to check either, LOL!

There are some freshmen here who make me feel old... ;)

Awwww! Poor Becca! ;)

Dude, someone who's never heard of W. B. Yeats makes me feel absolutely ancient. (Although that may be more of a snooty English major thing than an age thing. Hmmm....)

I think that's more of a snooty English major thing.

And calling people "dude" makes me feel ancient! ;)

I think that's more of a snooty English major thing.

But...but...but he's a Nobel Prizewinner! He's quoted all over the place! He's practically Ireland's permanent poet laureate! Everyone's senior English class studies him!

Then again, something like half of American high school students can't even recognize the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution when it's read to them. I suppose I'm asking too much.

And calling people "dude" makes me feel ancient! ;)

I was asking for that, wasn't I? ;)

Have to say that for all his Nobel Laureateness, I never studied him in school. In the last two years of high school we did STC and Kenneth Slessor. (Slessor is an Australian)

*shudders at Coleridge*

Okay, you have a point. Maybe it's just me...

[chiroho.livejournal.com]

And the final external exam was on, you guessed it, The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner! Let's just say I decided not to answer that question. Fortunately, there were about 6 options and we only had to answer 4.

[icepixie]

Coleridge is just...bleh. I love those tests with lots of options like that. :)
