Basically it has become so hot outside that the house has become Lee and my cave. We have nothing on but the computer and the TV, all other lights are off. the A/C is running and bottles of water are ready at hand. Luckily we have not had to venture out yet, and when I went to class this morning it was still cool enough that it wasn't horrible yet, and I managed to park in the shade today!! Go Me! So now upon returning from my journey I have decided to camp the rest of the afternoon here on the couch with my book and the computer. Tonight when the sun goes down, we will venture out to ride horses and clean stalls. This is how things must be done in Virgina in the summer, its a good thing I've always been a night person anyway.
Ok so next thing to talk about, I have a summery/response due Monday, its supposed to be on a CNN article that the Internet is making us Quick but shallow. Ok so maybe this is true, but it doesn't kill our creativity as Nicholas Carr states in his article that it dose. Blogs and Facebook, and Myspace, these let people express there creativity in there own way. Also he states Xboxs and playstations have become a form of entertainment, well hello, that's why i bought my Xbox. Now some technology is pointless and over cumbersome. maybe like the 200 different types of iPhone or whatever and iPads, I could really care less about those, I don't need one to function. But anyway I think this man has things way wrong, he has some good points about it, but it also all depends on the person. anyway Ill let you decide for yourself. Here's the link to the article:
That aside, I still need a good argument for my position paper due two weeks from now, well I need a topic by the end of the week. ha! that's the hardest part really, picking the topic. The rest is easy, I love to write.
So enough boring you to death with my school things. There is nothing else to exciting except that I finally got to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie. It was really close to the book, I was impressed with it actually. There where some things, but then again the movie was like 3 hours long as it was so they had to leave some things out. Anyway I still can't wait to get my hands on the second book. Just reading a John Grisham novel at the moment that a friend loaned me. Anyway so that's about it for the time being, time to either work on a little bit of homework or read my book for a few. So everyone, try to stay cool I know its hot all over the country right now, so be cool, safe, drink plenty of water, and no the signs of heat sickness. Here are a few heat related cartoons to put everyone in a better mood on this 100+ day.
hope you enjoyed
