The Farmer Saw a Gopher in Manhattan!

Dr. Sexson took the class to the good ol' Bozeman Daily Chronicle to learn how to read not what's new but instead what's old. He read the entire Paper and not only tried, but had brilliant success in relating all news worth happenings back to myhological times and stories. While jokeing about the small time papers topics, off the top of his head he made up a heading for a possible article for a small town paper. "Local Farmer Spots a Gopher in Manhattan!" The class laughed at this small town humor, however I must admit that Megan Thale and I have a little more experience than most in small town news, this is of course becasue we are from Manhattan :) I don't know about the excitment over gophers, but we do have potato days, which is equivilent to Bozeman's Sweat Pea Fest, most people find our Potato days rather comical. I am going to try to grab an issue of Manhattan's paper to give to Dr. Sexson, and hopfully we will be able to bring Manhattan into the Mythological world! And as side note, the gopher thing reminds that this next friday is February second, ground hogs day, my birthday, and Dr. Sexson's wedding anniversery...CONGRATS!

"Captain Picard"

I would first like to point out the possibility of the misspelling of Picard, and if it is wrong, please feel free to correct me. I would also like to admit that I have never seen an episode of Star Trek, huge gasp I know. The point of this post was to tell a story about my Deja Vu, probably spelled wrong as well! This morning as Dr. Sexson was talking about this Picard fellow, I had no idea who this person was and why he was being mentioned in a classical literature class. I quickly figured out that this Picard while in an episode of Star Trek mentioned the Homerick Hymns, which as you all know we are reading. As I sat there feeling not so confused, Dr. Sexson said these words, "If you can't believe Captain Picard than who the hell can you believe?" And this exact sentence became my Deja Vu, and swept over me like a freezing cold wave from the arctic ocean, I rarely experience Deja Vu, and felt compelled to tell my story!

My computer ALWAYS kicks my butt...


This post has nothing to do with yesterdays notes in class or possible future test questions....I just felt the need to vent about my computer and I's relationship at the moment. I would like it to be put on record that we do not get along, ecspecially when it takes me over an hour to even figure out how to put links on my blog, but when I have about ten imput we, and when I say we I mean my computer of course, decides to shut off for no apparent reason. Then I couldn't find the page that took me an hour to find that led me to the ability to add my links. And becasue I have had so much I fun in these past few hours, this will be all I add tonight becasue I fear I may throw my computer down a flight of stairs, which I am almost positive that I will regret later...almost...With that said, see you all on wednesday!
