My uncle looks a lot like Mulder...

[readingredhead]

COLTON: So, Mulder, whatta ya think? This look like the work of little green men?

MULDER: Grey.

COLTON: What?

MULDER: Grey. You said "green men." A Reticulan's skin tone is grey. They're notorious for their extraction of terrestrial human livers, due to iron depletion in the Reticulum galaxy.

COLTON: You can't be serious.

MULDER: Do you know how much liver and onions go for on Reticulum?

The most hilarious dialogue ever, from episode 3 of the first season of X-Files. Because Mulder's making up the entire thing off the top of his head in order to make Colton think that he really is crazy, like all the rumors make him out to be. I love the characters! Okay, that's just a post of the newly-obsessed. I finally found the first season on DVD at Costco.

Yeah, but now I'm basically just posting because I'm bored and I don't want to be productive. Thus far, here stands my summer reading:

Picture of Dorian Gray -- 235 / 235 pages [FINISHED]

Crime & Punishment -- 302 / 542 pages

Columbus in the Americas -- 0 / 172 pages

First Among Equals -- 0 / 483 pages

Hardball -- 0 / 240 pages

You are officially my new hero. I couldn't get past page one-oh-something in Crime and Punishment, sparknoted the thing :-P

[fallenrose24.livejournal.com]

Ooo are you liking Crime and Punishment? I'm loving that book, but the characters tend to ramble so, I have the spark notes to read after I finish each chapter. I think I'm on page 430.

How was Dorian Gray? I haven't started that one.

[readingredhead.livejournal.com]

Eh, C&P is okay. I'd like it more if the characters didn't just have these random mental monologues. Raskolnikov annoys me, but I like Razumihin and Dounia.

Dorian Gray was okay...kinda weird, but I thought it had a good message, and it was way easier to read that C&P is proving to be. But still...it's AP English, what did I expect?

[pippins-smile.livejournal.com]

Ole! I found you! (It's Steph B). Anywho... I'm getting C&P and Dorian Gray in the next couple days. Are we supposed to read something for history? o_O

Grey men... hehehe....

what history are you taking? For AP US we have to read Columbus in the Americas by William Least-Heat Moon. Yay...I had to order it because no Borders had it within like fifteen miles...and all the Barnes and Nobles in Orange County were out.

oh, i like your icon. Botha!

WHAT???

I did not hear ANYTHING about reading something for AP US!!!!!!!! Are you serious??

[readingredhead.livejournal.com]

um...Opkins told my MUN class that anyone who was going into AP US had to read it...I'm trying to think if Koger said anything...I don't think he did, come to think of it.

i just checked Vargish's webpage through the district and didn't see anything, and Trevino's just lists a bunch of other random books as "recommended" for AP US. I dunno, I just remember the Columbus book, and I'm reading it...assuming i get it in time!

[spadleader88.livejournal.com]

so whats hardball adn teh other book on ur list for? do i need to read those too?

*is ubber scared now*

[readingredhead.livejournal.com]

unless you've suddenly reentered the MUN program, no need to read those. they're 'recommended' reading for AP Gov (which is what MUN is junior year). Don't be *too* scared.

[spadleader88.livejournal.com]

wow ok *is settled down now*

thank you soo much though!!

uh oh i have c & p to read and now that columbus book too. >_<

*is destined to die*

[readingredhead.livejournal.com]

no prob, and don't go dying on your friends -- school would be so much more boring, and who would stand up for the short people?

[pippins-smile.livejournal.com]

Botha botha botha... Thanks!

And yeah, I have AP US... I'll just order it on Amazon, like I ordered the other two. Thankee!
