Monday

I have never in my life seen so much stupidness! My thoughts after watching the news channel for about 20 seconds. I hate the way that the anchormen present stories and try to get people all riled up into thinking that something awful could happen at any moment. The gun crisis of late especially, the media has been trying to breed fear with it— if I want to be scared, I read Poe. What's on the news is not only boring but depressing.

Most of what is reported on is utterly stupid. It is a lot of people scurrying around trying to gather info as quickly as possible, with out a care for the whether or not the information is valid and then just spewing it everywhere! I doesn't make much sense to me.

Other aspects of autumn break are going well, I have been working on a new language. It is based on Greek and if I ever finish my book, it will be featured there. But at present, I need more information to continue. I need to know interrogative and exclamatory sentence structure, and other things of that nature.

I feel that I may have gotten to know my brother Joshua a bit better to day. He is very interested in the symbolism in LOTR, we watched the movie already 6 times and he al ways has different questions. To night we discussed the fall of Saruman. I am very impressed at his reasoning abilities, and his curiosity. In my search for answers for Josh, I am learning quite a bit about some of Tolkien's work that I hadn't even noticed before. Anyway I think that's enough said for tonight. Ta!
