My week went pretty good, and a few things of interest happened. While I wasn't as freaked out as some, several other people were apparently freaked out by our latest chapel session. It was certainly unique. I probably don't need to get into detail about what all was said. What surprised me even more though was the fact that Mr. Pratt sent us emails and apologized. The surprising part is the fact that somebody that talks to students during chapel would ever have to apologize for what was said. Oh well.
The other day I bought a game called Gun. It is set in the West back in the 1800's. The Civil War has already ended by the time the main story takes place. I won't give away any plot details though. The game is basically a free-roaming western game. You can ride a horse, serve as a deputy, be a bounty hunter, shoot random people if you feel like it, or you can actually do the main story. I beat it in about 2 days. I also bought several cds again this week. I bought the albums High Voltage and Let There Be Rock by AC/DC. Today, the albums I ordered from Borders came in as well. They are A Night at the Opera by Queen (it's just plain awesome) and Rising Force by Yngwie Malmsteen. Yngwie plays what is known as symphonic metal. Basically think of it as classical music played as heavy metal. He is considered the second fastest guitarist of all time.
I bet some of you wonder when I'm going to discuss the etymological history of certain words. By the way, that means that I'm going to discuss where those words came from. Knife came from the Old Norse word knifr (I can't put the line above the letter i). The word job is from the 1500's or 1600's, I believe. Nobody is really sure what language it comes from.
I could spend a while on this subject, but I don't want to take up your time. All of you probably have better things to do than read a very long blog. I am now going to continue listening to Queen because they're one of my favorite bands. I'd recommend listening to the early albums. They're more complex. After that, I'm going to watch the movie Othello with Laurence Fishburne playing the title character. Have a good day.
