...with the food.
If I was doing any of the others then I wouldn't need the food.

I picked the 4th option since I'm "waiting till marriage."

It's not really sabotage though......and we DO do a lot of things.....

uh, anyway...

I finished Gargantua! Hurrah! It's because La Maison de Balzac is the best place in the world to study. It's a library in Balzac's old house that has two kinds of books: books by Balzac, and books about Balzac. No Internet, no food, it's always the right temperature and always quiet. In fact, yesterday afternoon I was the only person there.

And Montaigne's Essais are actually pretty interesting, especially the one called, "Philosophizing is learning how to die." He says that because death is just another stage of life, it's as silly to get upset about the fact that someday we're going to be dead as it is to get upset about the fact that we didn't exist before we were born. And that to stop fearing death, we need to think about it all the time, so that the idea isn't so foreign to us. And not once does he mention an afterlife. I can't believe he didn't get burned at the stake.

To read before Sunday (because you care):
Du Bellay's "Déffense et illustration de la langue française"
Rabelais (again!)- Prologue to "Le tiers livre"
Poetry of the French Renaissance

I will be spending the weekend at Balzac's house.

Put me down for No. 4, though like Poppet, Im not sure who Im *supposed* to be sleeping with. But Im choosing it anyway, dammit!

I would pick No. 5, but this board doesnt really keep me from anything more pressing . . .

I have nothing else to do but eat, drink and have sex with people I should and shouldn't.

I've just realised that makes me sound like a Lionel Bart

PorP, does that mean you've graduated?

***yawn***

Bored, bored, bored...

I could be out & about, drinking, barbecueing, etc., but noooooo...they used to actually ask us if we wanted the holiday off, to simply keeps costs down (we all get regular pay today, whether we work or not, but we get double-time for every hour we're here), but, alas, no more...

2 hours left, and counting...

sulkygirl · Post by **sulkygirl** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 9:42 pm

One hour, 45 minutes...

Hey, Sulky, I'm not working, but I'm bored, too. It's too hot to barbeque, and too dry for fireworks. I'm not going down to see the big display this year, as some sort of hackneyed protest against our country's aggressive tendencies of late.

Apparently, nobody cares. It's love it or leave it around here. If Canada is okay for Elvis, why not me? Do you ever get up to British Columbia? I've been there, and I really liked it. Not too hot, not too cold. Liberal.

I might just do it.

Hey, guess where this is...

pip_52 · Post by **pip_52** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 9:48 pm

Hey Rope, can I go?

I always liked Canada, and it seems like a good refuge. Never been to BC though . . .

Why not? We can all go! We'll take the slut Mercury!

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 10:06 pm

How do you know she's a slut, Rope?

A rope leash · Post by **A rope leash** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 10:11 pm

By the way she's dressed up! That fuckin' car will do anything! It never stops!

42 minutes, and counting...

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 11:00 pm

Sulky, isn't the thought of touring around in Rope's "slut" enough to help you pass the time away?

About 38 minutes now, I'm guesing.

sulkygirl · Post by **sulkygirl** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 11:10 pm

Nah, it's an American made car with--I'll bet--an automatic tranny. Daddy always told me, "Never trust a man who drives an automatic!!"

Not that I'd trust Rope as fas as I could throw him, fer sure...

18 minutes & counting...

O yeah, totally put your faith in that guy with the six-speed Camaro...

Sulky, that link is hilarious! Also, through that search I found a website called infromationclearinghouse.info. Right down my alley. Thanks!

Figured you'd get a kick out of that, Rope...was recommended by the good folk at b3ta.com.
