Oh my God ...
Hey, all ... I'm actually updating from my local library computer, and I'm really hoping I don't get cuaght/kicked out, because I'm pretty sure that this goes under the list of stuff I signed I wouldn't do, like emailing and IMing. Of course, everyone does this stuff, and I work here, so I probably don't have a whole lot to worry about, but it's really awkward to be sitting here, not having been online all week and be checking up on all my favorite webcomics while every adult who works here walks by and either tells me I forgot to log in my hours or that I shouldn't have walked up from the high school.

Which I only did because it takes longer to walk than to ride up, and I have another good hour to kill before I start working even though I walked, had lunch, read about 30 pages of Gone with the Wind, and have been online here for about half an hour.

So yes, because finals means leaving school over an hour early, I am sitting here at work, reading webcomics.

Which, actually, is really kind of embarassing, but it'll probably be the only free time I get, since I have to either be working or be being nagged about working to serve a purpose.

Whatever. I only have one final and one day of school left, which is so nice, though it doesn't feel like it at all, since it's no longer 85 and humid, but 70 and crisp.

So, I really like watching the AFI movie countdowns. I watched the top quotes one on Tuesday, and I have to say, I was surprised by 2 Casablanca related items:

1) that "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By'" was so low on the list and

2) that a quote from Casablanca did not win.

Because they always have Casablanca, and it nearly always wins.

Though I am very happy with the winner being, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," because that really is a superb line. "Frankly" was not part of the orignal line, but Clark Gable adlibbed it, and that's the only reason that anyone remembers the line, because for his comment to be frank is just so Rhett Butler.

Though, as I am reading the book, I am shocked by what a creep Ashley is. He is really disgusting, but perfectly socially acceptable, unlike Rhett. To Rhett's credit, he is the only man in the book who is not a Klan member. Yes, every man. That includes Ashley, Frank, the 3 old guys, the young guys, everyone.

Anyway, I'm done for now.
