Bring on the relaxation, I am ready. Sunday was full of
computer lounging and homework, a very humble day really. I was able to sleep
in, which I adore, and took my time seizing the day. I had some Subway for
lunch with my friends, we felt lazy about cooking, and then surfed the internet
for a few hours. I also read more lines/lyrics of Lancelot the Knight of the
Cart. It is a good read, old school but rockin'. Something strange that I did
was download some information about James McCarthy. It's time I confess; back
in 1952 I was one among the many performers who were placed on the Hollywood
blacklist. They thought I was communist for wearing the color red too
frequently. Not my fault that the Blackhawks' uniform is red! Ok in reality I
am brushing up on my twentieth century American History. My favorite period is
the industrial era, about 1893-1912, when everything was gritty and covered in
grease. For study purposes I am collecting articles on the various events of
the 20th century. I'm trying to stay away from the bulk of the world wars, due
to the fact that they weren't purely domestic. The Great Depression, Industrial
Era, McCarthyism, Baby Boom, Nuclear Family, and the Cold War are some of the
topics that I will be revisiting. Yeah, I'm a nerd at times. After time was
efficiently spent at Les Docks, Kate, Paula, and I returned to the dorm. I made
some hot tea/coffee and we all pow-wowed in my room for some Single Life
episodes. It is a guilty pleasure of mine, introduced to me by Mr. Blei my old
economics teacher, that I enjoy from time to time. I have the entire first
season on my computer. For those of you who don't know what The Simple Life is,
well, you're about to find out. The Simple Life was a reality television show
that starred Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. It captured their adventure of
living on a farm in Altus Arkansas for thirty days. It is complete shallow trash,
but hilarious. Kate and Paula loved it. What a world where Anglos watch the
Simple Life on a laptop in Normandy France.
