i am terrified of the swine flu! i really am. people joke about it and even i do lightly, but it fucking freaks me out. blake and i agree that if the human race were to ever really go extinct, it would probably be because of a pandemic. it's just such a scary thought - humans dropping like house flies. overdramatic, yes, but also - possible, yes. probable? dunno.
i'm just scared. there was just the first confirmed case in northern utah, and i'm going up there tomorrow =///
but what an ego boost for george orwell it would be to find that pigs are the source of the annihilation of the planet hahah! he'd not only be the master of symbolism and allegory but also foreshadowing!
today i learned:
- all about robert frost's poems "fire and ice" and "home burial"
- all about austin's play "cloud nine," which i can say was the first play i watched entirely through a curtain
- what exactly is inside the pellet that an owl regurgitates daily: tiny bones and fur of consumed animals, probably the grossest thing we ever did in environmental science
- about feminism at hogwarts - lord voldemort is to bellatrix as dumbledore is to mcgonagall as harry is to hermione
good stuff.
