Erasmus

Augh! I bought more books.

I just wanted to kill some time! I just wanted to be anywhere but at my desk for a little while! So I walked over to Barnes & Noble. Because it's close. And it's not my desk. And I like books.

AND I BOUGHT MORE BOOKS.

"When I get a little money, I buy books. And if there is any left over, I make car payments, or make student loans payments, or buy food!" (paraphrased from Erasmus)

I have learned some new things
Fact: I am going to run out of money before I run out of things to read.
Fact: I don't care.

I just want to leave a comment so that an Erasmus posting won't be a complete shutout versus a Gilmore Girls posting.

nice. I appreciate it. Go Ancient Greece!

did you ever think maybe there should be sporting events or intellectual competitions between the ages? Ancient Greece vs. The Allies. Like a Jeopardy game, or the quiz bowl.

And of course people would flock to these events. And Ancient Greece is guaranteed a significant following among college-age males. They'd be all wrapped in togas doing keg stands in the stands shouting things like "Ancient Greece rocks!" and "I love the Classics!" and their girlfriends would be all "Socrates, I want to have your baby!"

I think middle-age american guys would be rooting for Roosevelt and Churchill though. They'd be more like Chicago Bears fans. They know their team can get it done when it needs to, but otherwise they'll just sit back and throw down a few beers, have some nice cheddar brats and debate things like "mini-ditka vs. plato"

am I right people?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

i've had a really horrible and long fake monday and i clicked on the comments because i was like, well if there is a comment to the post that pseudo-quotes erasmus, then i guess it is from donny.

and then it was.

and then i skimmed tom's comment and saw donny's second comment, which made me laugh for the first time today.

when i said skimmed, i mean i didn't look at it at all because it was too long.

when i say bad fake monday, i mean i had to ask my boss to hug me.

I had no idea that my bad day yesterday was caused by "Fake Monday." I thought it was just the two giant pickles and ice cream sandwich that I had for lunch.
