I don't feel like I have the brain capacity to do much. I've been trying to read Electra, but I've never been able to read Electra. I used to try to read it during Bacchae rehersals, and that never worked, and it doesn't seem to be working now either. I think I'm going to go read Lemony Snicket. I've spent too much of today trying to get Space Flight.

Civ II was an odd change. I'd been so desperate for my civilization to be able to build a space ship. I'd forgotten the changes from Civ II to Civ III. I'd forgotten about things like caravans. The ability to speed up the building of Wonders in ways other than building mines. It goes much more quickly, as well, I think.

Civ II will make me feel better, cause I can send up a space ship in Civ II.

It is amazing what difference putting clean clothes away and and putting dirty clothes back in the hamper and making your bed makes when you look at your room.

There is a note on my whiteboard that says "Jacob Thomas can no longer be counted among the living" in handwriting I don't recognize. His killer already told me he was dead (or rather the man who hired his killer told me he is dead), so I assume it isn't that person. Huh. I am a little mystified, and am hoping the note is from Jacob, so I can do reassignments.

I watched Mary and Hayden have a fight with leaves. It was really cute. It also made me feel much better about the two of them.

I made a scarf. It's a very pretty scarf. They told me at the yarn store that I only needed two balls of yarn, but I didn't quite believe them, so I got three balls of yarn. And, well, they were right. Two balls of yarn would've been enough. But the scarf is about twice as long as I am. I can drape it over my head, and it almost reaches the floor on both sides. And it's really pretty yarn. It's been a while since I actually finished any knitting projects.

I want my Saturday mornings back for sleeping, rather than potting.

Mr. Kovacik confused Andrew terribly in lab by asking if the "e" in the equation was the base of the Naperian logarithms. Mr. Maistrellis was also confused, briefly, then said something like "we've pretty much stopped calling them Naperien and call them natural, but yes." And then I said something like "It's all over Lobochevski." But my class is the only class that is actually reading Lobochevski.

I was assured that our list was not in fact stolen, but that people had been in the process of constructing what they could of our list, from figuring out who was playing, and who they were killing.

When I was reading Hecuba I thought about Hamlet a lot, cause of the "For Hecuba/What's Hecuba to him or him to Hecuba?" bit. And then in our preceptorial we got to talking about how Hecuba is the story of the tragedy of losing everything, and I was reminded of Titus Andronicus, cause that's really what that play was about. Hecuba was better, however.

I think Hecuba was the most compelling of the Euripides we've read so far. She was the most understandable of the characters. Alcestis and Admetus seemed...odd. I'd always liked the story, but it was damn weird on reading it. Neither Hippolytus nor Phaedra is appealing, or particuarly understandable. The characters in Andromache were all weird, Andromache was sort of better than the rest, but the others were definately off. Medea was flipped out, fascinating, but flipped out, and mystifying. But Hecuba was...throughout the play you watched Hecuba's life get worse and worse, and it was miserable. But what is Hecuba to me, or me to Hecuba?

We found out what happened to the circle, and so in an attempt to fuck with their heads, we have rearranged it.

Hecuba appears to be lovely. Far more...normal, than Andromache.

Meanwhile, in my state, where the the ratio of democrats to republics is probably much closer to equal than in Moss's, those with a tendancy to vote for a Green candidate realized that they would be taking away votes from the democratic candidate and voted for him. At least for Governer. There also might not have been anyone running from the Green party in PA.

At the waltz party, Mr. Young told Katherine's sister Anna that when she is grown up and 21 and in college and recovering from a nasty cold, she shouldn't drink too much. That is what you learn in college, said he. I, sitting there, said "yes, it's called Senior French" or something along the lines, as a joke, and it wasn't until those words were out of my mouth did I realize how true that was.

I had lost my absentee ballot, but I found it today. And now I don't really know what to do, and will probably feel all bad if the Republican wins.

Right, so, Cassie, we're sorry. I at any rate, was actually a little annoyed at you, but only a little, and we thought it might be...well...yes...sorry, we didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
