May. 26th, 2005 09:38 amDoes anyone else remember when new paperback books cost only 5 bucks? I still expect them cost that much and I am always shocked and dismayed to see that they don't.
Watched the House finale on Tuesday which was very, very good. I <3 my new soap opera. Have also realized why the character of House pings me so hard. He is a sarcastic and damaged, two characteristics that get me every.single.time. The fact that Dr. McCoy was my first tv crush has warped me for life. ;-)
Oh, what's that you say? You would like to know whether I watched the Lost finale last night?
( Well, Of Course I Did )
BTW, for those who are interested in my nocturnal wellbeing, I received a Robin action figure as a birthday present last night. I now have someone there to keep the evil ones at bay. I'm sure we'll all sleep much easier with that knowledge. ;-)
Word Origin of the Day: Armistice - This term has a long history associated with warfare. It originated with the Romans, who combined forms of the Latin words arma, meaning "weapons," and solstitium, meaning "solstice." The latter's literal meaning is "stationary" or "stopped," which also explains it application in astronomy, referring to the two periods of the year during which the Sun's position on the horizon appears to be sationary and begins moving in the opposite direction (the midpoints of Summer and Winter).
ETA: In honor of the Lost season finale I offer to you a recording of Beyond the Sea in french.
