snowystingraySchool has been very boring and incredibly uneventful over the past week, which accounts for my lack of posts. Yesterday I had absolutely no homework to do and my brother was on the computer, so I decided to waste some time the good old fashioned way: TV! The 1996 version of "Jane Eyre" was on. I had seen it before and remembered that I didn't really care for it. However, I couldn't remember if St. John was cute or not, so I decided to watch and find out (yes, I was completely devoid of any other form of entertainment). Lo and behold, St. John was none other than Sam West. Don't you love life's little pleasant surprises? Of course, his part was only about seven minutes long and I didn't like the movie any more this time around. But still. Whee! Prettiness. Way better than homework.
Speaking of something somewhat related to Horatio Hornblower so I can have a flimsy excuse for a segue... I finished reading "Good Omens" on Wednesday and started on "Hornblower and the Atropos." So far I am enjoying it, although not as much as "Lieutenant Hornblower." The same goes for "Hornblower and the Hotspur," which seems to confirm my suspicions that more Bush equals a better book. "Lieutenant" was like all Bush all the time, and it has been my favourite thus far. "Hotspur" had occasional bouts of Bush (especially the beginning), but that was it. "Atropos" is Bush-less and, while I do still like it, there is an empty place in my heart that cannot be filled. I need you, Bush! I think I'm going to go shopping with my sister tomorrow and stock up on Hornblower books ("Atropos" is the last one I have at the present).
For my first period class, my teacher has requested that I find a good joke over the weekend and share it with him on Monday. He thinks I don't talk enough because I spent all period reading "Atropos." The problem is, I really don't know any funny jokes. If any of you would like to share amusing, school appropriate jokes that I can use on Monday, I would be much obliged.

YOU: ... oh, you've heard that one already.
HIM [b]: ... I dunno, what?
YOU: *exasperated* A dog.
or howsabout, "What's green, fuzzy and can kill you if it falls out of a tree?" (A pool table)
Maybe, "How many surrealists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?" (the fish!)
He'd probably leave you alone if you told any of those.
