Fun with Poe and Nietzsche

[annundriel]

So despite the fact that I got the symbolism backward in my English theme paper regarding "The Fall of the House of Usher" and had to add a note at the end saying "Now that I've heard the lecture, I now think..." I still got an A! This has made my day.

I've taken work off tonight because I am feeling really overwhelmed by school at the moment. Not so much now that I've gotten through American Lit, but I have to finish reading Nietzsche and do the questions and vocabulary for it. And that's got me a little freaked. At least the questions. However, I'm finding Nietzsche easier to read than other philosophers I've had to read thus far. And laughing. I'm not supposed to be laughing at Nietzshe. What the hell? I'm alternately reading Daybreak and laughing out loud, agreeing, and disagreeing, depending on the aphorism.

Anyway.

Mom sent me a copy of a Damien Rice CD. I really like it so far. Got to track 3 ("The Blower's Daughter") and went "Hey...This sounds really familiar..." Turns out it's used in the preview for Closer. (Clive! Jude!) It's all good.

He's completely better than Plato and Aristotle. I feel no need to kick him upside the head. Can't wait to discuss him in class and understand it a bit better.
