Oh, oh! Today's note-worthy notes in Art History:
"Michelangelo was an arrogant bastard." - Refering to the Pieta and the fact that he, supposedly, sneaked into the housing for this piece to chisel his name into the sash of Mary.
"God's pretty buff for an old guy!" - Sistine Chapel -- this image.
Note-worthy from Death: Myth and Reality (Monday):
"This week we're covering euthanasia. Next week we're doing youth in Europe!" Har, har. That was too punny! (He made such the oddest face after he said it, too, heh X3 )
"We've a lot of material to cover and I've discovered a very important phrase dealing with this: Tempus Fugit. Basically, we're running out of town." Lovely slip, professor!
"It's a one way trip, so it's much cheaper." Talking about Switzerland's suicide tourists.
"I'm Doctor Spock. It's not logical." I can't remember what he was talking about. Death, duh :P But still, I can't remember exactly what he was refering to. I think it was that Oregon was the only state in the USA that it's doctors can prescribe medicine to aid in the taking of someone's life yet other states do not.
(...come on. One must do something to lighten up such a somber, sometimes morbid subject :P )

Oh, yeah, and I found two things incredibly amusing today:
1) On the way to the study abroad fair, I walked by the Hibbs building. I then thought "You know, it'd be really nice to go in and visit my English 101 professor, I wonder if I'll have time soon..."
GUESS FRIGGEN WHAT -- no sooner did I think that, she walked by me and we chatted a minute or two. She's doing well and she remembered me :O
I hate it when I think about a thing, mull it over once or twice quickly and think it through once again really well -- whatever I'm thinking about usually happens and it SCARES THE FRIGGEN HELL OUT OF ME.
Once I was reading a Sherlock Holmes story -- "A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link." Three times. BOOM chain on the livestock trailer breaks and the trailer bounces off the hitch and we're stuck trying to get it back on in the middle of the back-roads with no jack.
Once I was on a field trip to the VA Marine Science Museum. Reading The Iron Dragon's Daughter. Came to a line (roughly) "...he put the crow bar between the door and the jamb, pushed, and the door flew open." We're on a charter bus at the time... and I was really REALLY interested in the occult and in general magic. EVERYONE knew. I'm sitting there pondering the root of the word 'jamb' trying to figure out where the word came from... re-read it about three times and then FWOOSH the door on the bus flew open WHEN WE WERE DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE. Freaked me out and I refused to read anything else the rest of the ride.
Everyone blamed me for it :x Then they freaked out when I showed them the part of the book I was reading at the time the door flew open.
2) I bought a brush, yeah? It's the smallest little bristled brush I've ever set eyes on for such a very very low price. Even smaller than the $2.50 one I bought near the beginning of the month (this one was just under $2, too!) -- someone recognised me in the store from AFO last year and saw me plundering through the clearance boxes and pull this small brush out, triumphantly.
"Suits you, doesn't it? You do all of those insanely detailed things."
People know me all too well :3

With one lung-full of air, you can survive in the vacuum of space for 30 seconds. If that were true, wouldn't it be a full minute with two lungs? *lifts an eyebrow*
"Ford?"
"Yes."
"I think I'm a sofa."
"I know how you feel."
I want Zaphod's swooshy outfits.
