Wow, Potter, 6 A's and 1 B in one semester and this is what we get  Just what are you majoring in, pray tell.  Actually, that's 5 A's and 2 B's, but thank you. It is my proudest academic achievment to date. The major is Psychology, minor in Economics.... I think I'm changing that minor to Management, though. I intend to be an Industrial Organizational Psychologist. I've got a bit of schooling to go yet, though. And yes, after all that work, me licking my elbow is what you get  And this: My name backwards makes a really cool name: Trebor Noslo |

Lol, I hope it doesn't get that violent!
oh, useless knowledge -Lord Acton seems to be the person who FIRST said 'Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it'. He was also the one who said 'Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely,' and 'great men are almost always bad men'. (He said those last two trying to convince the Pope of the time not to go through with making Papal Infallibility doctrine, which I find interesting)

Jason Bourne... Nosaj Enruob? Sounds like the next terrorist that Bush is going after  Flatworms are a two celled organism. Though incarnations of simplicity, it has been shown that they know where magnetic north is... They've got me beat  They also have this cool thing where if they eat another flatworm (as in cannibalism), they learn what the other had known. Sounds like they could evolve pretty quickly, doesn't it? Gives me the willies. |

They're books? huh. Makes sense, I really liked the movies and I usually only like movies that were books first.

Ok. I guess I'll look into them, but only because they were 2130821308123082 x better. If it were only 2130821308123081 I wouldn't do it. |

'ere now, I hate ta have ta agree wit' Vert on anythin'; But on this I must concur.....lol. In plain speak, I found the series ta be well worth the time it took ta read. The movies do compiment the books, an' I am waitin' ta see if'n Matt Damon truly will complete the series with Bourne Legacy. I hope that the movie people don't make it anti-climatic as they do in so many other novels turned movies. Matrix comes ta mind, most readily. The first two were done fairly well, but the third!!!! Let's just say that it fell far short o' the novel.

I don't understand how he can do the Bourne Ultimatum or the Borne Legacy with Marie dead. That ruined the movies for me.

Well now, the movies be about himself, not the existential characters. I'm sure tha' she wished fer a diff'rent endin' her own self.

Might as well hang onto them until I see you for the Boundary Waters...
I've got so much text book reading to do this semester that I couldn't possibly read for pleasure without cutting back on my activity here... And that's not acceptable.

Potter is blessed iwth that rare thing called self-discipline. I aim to try it myself.... someday!  The Boundary Waters is a HUGE area of some of the most incredible scenery you will find left in the US. Well, part of the Boundary Waters are in Canada, too, but I don't know much about their other parks. Anyway, it's either a really large lake system with intruding islands or a remarkably pristine forest with a lot of lakes; you go in by canoe, and back-pack over the portages; the maps are really something to see, too... anyway, it's remarkably untouched and absolutely beautiful. Far enough north that you often get spectacular auroras and since there's no light pollution you get the night skies in their full glory... truly an astounding place. |
