Quotation @ MindSay

I wish I were dedicated enough to actually do a weekly quote. Maybe I'll try that after my two year anniversary or something. I just love quotes and this is no exception.

Okay, so I am watching reruns of Bones. Which is a great procedural buddy cop show and highly enjoyable. If you've never seen it, I highly recommend it. I have both my parents loving it now. I haven't seen them all yet, but I am getting close. At any rate, I was watching a fourth season episode last night, called "The Passenger in the Oven" and there was this line in there that cracked me up. If you're not familiar, the female lead is a genius, forensic anthropologist who assists the FBI in solving murders. She is scientifically genius but completely clueless when it comes to everyday life. She doesn't understand popular culture at all. She works with an FBI liaison Agent Seeley Booth. Booth is a straight-arrow every man who tries to do the right thing. The best part of the show is watching these two figure how to work with each other because they are such completely different people. It makes for some entertaining moments in a gruesome cop show.

The particular scene went like this:

Dr. Brennan (played by the adorably awkward Emily Deschanel) and Agent Booth find a body while on a flight to China. They have to solve the crime before the plane lands and it is no longer under the FBI's jurisdiction. Dr. Brennan is going to do an autopsy of the body with materials that they've scavenged from other passengers on the plane. One of the things she needed was a magnifying glass. Agent Booth (played by the vampirically delicious David Boreanaz) found her a pair of granny glasses to use instead.

He walks into the autopsy area and she looks up at him with the giant granny glasses perched on her nose. Got the scene?

Booth: Right. What I want you to do is take off your glasses, shake out your hair and say,
"Mr. Booth, do you know what the penalty is for an overdue book?"
Brennan: Why?
Booth: (sighs and steps away) Never mind.

Seriously? I just laughed and laughed then backed it up and watched it again just so I could laugh again. Who doesn't love a good 'sexy librarian' joke? (Especially when it's made by a sexy man....)

Argh. Ever have a dream so flipping awesome you dread waking up?

what can I say? I've got another blog running around somewhere but I need to discover how it works before i post a link. Why do I have a blog now? I dunno. I'm procrastinating on my Shakespeare homework. Yeah . . . Doesn't this weblog thing make you guys feel vulnerable?

I've been reading Romeo and Juliet for homework this week and I just got through Act III. Dorks, all of them. But there are some neat quotes that come out of Shakespeare's silly eyelashflittings.

Like Gregory saying "To move is to stir, and to be valiant is to stand; therefore, if thou art mov'd thou run'st away." which is great cause Sampson was making a fool out of himself talking about the C.s and M.s

This is cool too--shows that at least somebody thought that emotions aren't all there is to the Mind (not like R or J actually act likethere is):"Black and portendous must this humor prove, Unless good counsel may the cause remove."

And then one of my favorites--and it doesn't just reply to the eros of Romeo and Juliet, either--

"O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness, serious vanity,
Misshapen choas of well-seeming forms,
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health,
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love I feel, that no love feel in this.
Dost thou not laugh?"

I found out, on the next page, that the past tense of "help" is "holp". I'll show it to you if you don't believe me:) Shakespeare was a nut.

But then there's something Lewis said in thebeginning of MC that made sense when....erm. its the other way around. This makes sense--"virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied, And vice sometime by action dignified."

Ok, now i really gotta move . . . I still have Stuff to do before I head over to start pretending like I'm setting up chairs.
