Chim Chim Cher-ee always gave me the willys

I'm not sure why they call them butterflies. They don't feel anything like butterflies at all to me. Worms maybe. But like really really wriggly ones. Not the cute little earthworms that barely move. Maybe more like eels. That way you can throw in the occasional shock.

I finally finished Gilgamesh before class today. I would love to re-read it someday when I actually want to. I enjoyed it a lot.

Things to think about:
1) The popular quote, "All is fair in love and war."
2) Ishtar is the goddess of love and war
3) Aphrodite, the goddess of love, has an affair with Ares, the god of war

I really do think I am going to fall in love with this class. The readings will be tough, but I am so excited for the lectures.

Disney Pandora has completely made my night.
