never did get to that person.

then again, I just found out that there's more books by Miamoto Musashi (other then book of the five rings) that can be purchased in english...

got something more highbrow then my usual assortment of bloody murder and sci-fi to be reading during my breaks...

yes, I make my co-workers wonder.

some of the stupider ones think I may be psychic, as I have an annoying talent for reconstucting sceens of accidents, figuring out what's going to happen with politics/world events etc.

why because history repeats constantly, we just re-write it to pretend it doesn't.

Me: dreadnaught by Massie, it's about the naval arms race, and the factors that lead up to The first world war.

.... Good taste.

Thank the duchess she suggested it, and I still haven't completed it.

I just got done writing a ten page paper on the history of the Ottoman Empire. I love writing research papers like this. Afterwords I just sit back and go whoah when I realize all the various influences whatever had on whatever. Understanding how the past affects the present is almost a mental high for me.
