I found a cool Quotations book in my room and was reading some of them to Lily.

"The more alternatives, the more difficult the choice." - Abbe D'Allainval

"O Death, where is thy sting-a-ling-a-ling,
O Grave, thy victoree?
The bells of Hell go ting-a-ling-a-ling
For you but not for me." -Anonymous, a song popular for the British Army in WWI

"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion." -Francis Bacon

"Philaster: Oh, but thou dost not know
What 'tis to die.
Bellario: Yes, I do know, my Lord:
'Tis less than to be born; a last sleeping;
A quiet resting from all jealousy,
A thing we pursue; I know besides,
It is but giving over of a game,
That must be lost." -from Philaster by Francis Beaumont

"I never read a book before reviewing it; it prejudices a man so." -Sydney Smith

"When I am dead, I hope it may be said:
'His sins were scarlet, but his books were read.'" -Hilaire Belloc

"The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Television? The word is half Latin and half Greek. No good can come of it." -C.P. Scott

SERIOUSLY, AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO IS CLICKING ON YOUR EGG? WTF, PEOPLE?! It's not getting any bigger, and I also think it's not registering each of my clicks. I don't want your dragon to die! Fie, dragon egg program people! Fie!

My poor neglected egg. But, er, apparently there's a LJ comm where you can get people to click on your egg which is both awesome and ridiculous.

But hee, thanks for clicking. :) I keep wanting to catch you on Y!M but never do. :( Have you seen the latest awesomeness that is Doctor Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog? Joss Whedon is doing a cracktastic musical with Nathan Fillon and Neil Patrick Harris! It is obviously gonna be awesome. :D
