So, Smallville totally made me want to chuck things at the TV last night. Sometimes 'Clark was being dumb, but the two major occurrences were within, like, five minutes of each other and were all Lex's fault. Argh. What the frell is going on??

In other news, I took the bus twice yesterday and did not get lost and/or molested! Yea me! Although when I did have to switch buses when it turned out the 3 I got on did not in fact go all the way to the Seattle Center. But it was all good. Finally got to see Our Town and really enjoyed it. Tom Skerritt was not in it, however. Apparently he was offered something he just could not refuse (Touchstone-Disney Stephen King mini-series) and was going to be working on that instead of doing all of the performances. Which, y'know, is unprofessional. UNLESS he really was sucking as bad as everyone says he was and the Intiman was all "Take the offer, Tom! We'll use a stage actor instead!" Pity, though. Mr. Skerritt is well respected in the area. Would have been fun to see him in person.
Oh well.
Natasha and I are going to see Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason tonight. Woo. It'll be an adventure. The theater is somewhere on Queen Anne that we haven't been to before, and Queen Anne is too far to walk, so we get to take a new bus. Thank goodness for school bus passes. Anyway, we're supposed to be there about 40 minutes early. We'll leave around 4:00 to make sure we can find the place and then toodle around for a bit. Lookin' forward to it.
Nietzsche is still the most fun I've had reading philosophy. And though I do not agree with him a lot/most of the time, he's still fascinating. And fun to read. And quote:
"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness." (This is my excuse for the crazy pairings I love in various fandoms...)
And then there's the big "God is dead" quote that continues farther than just that and is really just thought-provoking.
"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was the holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives. Who will wipe this blood off us? With what water could we purify ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we not ourselves become gods simply to be worthy of it? There has never been a greater deed; and whosoever shall be born after us - for the sake of this deed he shall be part of a higher history than all history hitherto."
Ah, take *that* Descartes. Isn't it interesting? I think so. I don't necessarily agree with it, possibly because I believe in God, but it's fascinating stuff.
Oh, and Nietzsche is not a Nazi! Don't believe it!
Julia, I know I've mentioned this before, but thank you so much for recommending Dr. Berry! I heart the class.

Also, is there anything you'd like to borrow DVD wise on Monday? I've been borrowing Lost from you and feel that I should return the favor in some way... :)

As for DVDs, I can't think of any right this moment... watched Gangster No 1 last night and I'm kinda scarred and withdrawn from watching movies.... that movie scared me, a lot... cause Paul Bettany chops up someone into tiny pieces wearing his underwear.... worse than seeing him adjust himself in Wimbledon.. *cringe* But I'll get back to you on that one
