NOTES TO MYSELF

Females.....from 19 to thousands of years old

What did I do yesterday and today? Oh right, I finished reading Carrie Pilby and then went to the grocery store and got a shitload of stuff. Came back and I watched the discovery channel with Jay: "Nefertiti, resurrected." Amazing how the dicovery channel is getting more and more boring since they are really into a certain kind of dramatization of past events that just looks plain fake. Perhaps they are trying to make true their tagline: the discovery channel, entertainment for your brain. Those of us who want more than just be entertained must learn to adapt to the fact that we are just getting gypped because discovery feels like it has to compete with all the reality tv shows out there in their own ways. Agh. Other than that, Nefertiti proved to an interesting story. I was very interested to see how she potentially was the female pharoah in history....that this powerful, beautiful, dark-skinned woman took over her husband's position under the disguise of a man. I fought to stay awake until 2 am to finish the show.....but of course, no conclusive evidance; must wait for future DNA testing to prove that the mummy found was indeed the mysterious woman that once existed. Great.

Got up; Rob cooked me breakfast; made tea (today it was Lapsing); read, both print and online; watched a little bit of fifth element on HBO. (I love the images in that film, even though it was a bit on the loud side.) Lounged around like a lazy bum. Afternoon breezes were awesome.

Now I am just chilling; must find something to do.
