  • Vladimir: We've nothing more to do here.
  • Estragon: Nor anywhere else.
  • Vladimir: Ah, Gogo, don't go on like that. To-morrow everything will be better.
  • Estragon: How do you make that out?
  • Vladimir: Did you not hear what the child said?
  • Estragon: No.
  • Vladimir: He said that Godot was sure to come to-morrow. (Pause.) What do you say to that?
  • Estragon: Then all we have to do is to wait on here.
  • Vladimir: Are you mad? We must take cover. (He takes Estragon by the arm.) Come on. (He draws Estragon after him. Estragon yields, then resists. They halt.)
  • Estragon: (looking at the tree). Pity we haven't got a bit of rope.

Last night we discussed the way girls who wear low-cut tops will cover their chests when they bend over, and Frank and I agreed that they do this because they think we’re trying to sneak a peek. I was of the opinion that girls that have this issue should not wear revealing clothing, but Corinne & Syd disagreed. I was asked how I would feel if there was some sort of apparel that at times would threaten to expose my balls. The answer is, if I had a big problem with people glimpsing my package then I wouldn’t wear that item of clothing. And if it were something that for some reason I couldn’t go without, then I would notice people peeking and ask them why they were looking at my balls. So ladies, stop holding your shirts close, for whatever reason you do it. It just isn’t logical, and from what I can tell you’ve all dedicated yourselves to living logical lives.

For Sydvish - her “Miss Lori-kin” reminded me of this insanely awesome Herbie Hancock video. Warning: at the time of its release, this had the power to scare the crap out of a 4 year old.

Short clip from Big Brother 10 featuring one of the most annoying contestants ever. Renny, a New Orleans native, wins the Sydvishy for being an idiot.

Bachelorette

Not a fan of the show, but on vacation my family watched and discussed the “final two” episode. I was the only one that picked the snowboarder to win. So watching this finale episode right now kinda makes me feel like shit, but I was right.

This happened almost every time my mother was given the camera.

I finished reading People of the Book, recommended and lent to me by Gaby. This historical fiction written by Geraldine Brooks follows the 500 year journey of the Sarajevo Haggadah throughout Europe. The Jewish manuscript (which is real) is fascinating not only because of its age, but because it contains beautiful illustrations of biblical scenes; it was created “at a time when most Jews considered figurative art a violation of the commandments.” The modern-day book conservator in charge of inspecting it speculates as to how it came to be and what brought it to Sarajevo. 
I’ve been interested in the Jewish faith and history ever since I had the fortune of taking Rabbi Barry Weinstein’s Holocaust class at LSU. This novel contains glimpses of the many struggles the Jewish people have had to overcome. It also has a great story similar to The Davinci Code, but not as frantic and action-packed. I suggest that you read it!
