Life After People, Gilgamesh writing
Hey readers! How are you all lovely dudes doing? I am doing pretty good. It's a foggy day but I wore capris and flip flops and I don't care. ;D I checked my calendar today, and alas, there was a Bush quote. So here you go. "Then I went for a run with the other dog and just walked. and I started thinking about a lot of things. I was able to- I can't remember what it was. Oh the inaugural speech, started thinking through that." -- US News & World Report, January 22, 2001 I love when people are flustered. I realized the other day when I looked at my about me page something. I need to revamp that. Seriously. It needs some updating. So it is not so KP-centric. I'm trying to move away from that Kim Possible centric-ness in my life. It just needs some updating. Plus, I kind of always update the about me page at least once a year. And as the 6th anni is coming up.... makes sense to me. World Lit. Oooh, good times. We had our first writing assignment. We had a two choices, one to write as Gilgamesh and tell the story of something or other. And the other to pretend that we are a Biblical archaeologist and that we found the Flood Story from Gilgamesh and to write to a fellow scholar about the similarities between that story and Noah and the Flood in Genesis. I chose the latter. And I was pretty inventive. I was Biblical Archaeologist, Lady Lara Croft (Hehe!) and I was writing to a Semite Archaeologist named Sir Kyle Broflovski. Haha. I wanted to have fun with it, which is basically kind of what he sort of said to do. I wrote about two pages and I liked it alot. Here's to a good grade. *drinks Diet Coke to that* Western Civ. The book isn't available yet. How annoying. I did buy the two supplemental books I needed. They were so cheap I figured I'd be okay buying them. We basically discussed some of that whole Witch-Hunting. I always thought that whole thing was mean-spirited dickery by the religious folk of the time. Intolerance and the like. Which is still around today, I hate to say. Did anybody catch Life After People on the History Channel last night. That was so good and so very depressing all at the same fucking time. Click here for the website for the special. What depresses me is that after about a 1000 years or so, there's little if any trace of our culture left. It was kind of uplifting to know after the horrible bitch-slapping we've done to the Earth that she could eventually get rid of the roads, and put back streams that were displaced and have the oceans fill again. Cats will survive without us easy, small dogs, not really. Medium dogs will probably be okay, if they can get outside, they'll be okay. I highly suggest watching it. Even though it made me want to cry. Not because humans are gone. But because there will hardly be any trace of us left. Concrete, wood, steel, all of these founder and will eventually go bye bye. Books don't survive, film doesn't survive. Not long anyway. And of course, cockroaches will be fine. They survived the dinosaur extinction, they'll be around long after we're dead. It's already available to buy on the History Channel's store online. Haha.
