It must be an admission of total geekitude, when studying the history of England' naval officers, to realize the first time you heard any of these ranks was in Star Trek, which is totally just Captain Cook in space.
This afternoon I hiked (and do I mean hiked) to Panera from my apartment - about half an hour, but totally worth it. It's so fall here - the weather is warmish today but there's a cool hint in the breeze and there is no humidity, absolutely none. Still nice enough for a glass or two or three of sweet tea though. *glares at her cup* Evil, evil beverage.
Yesterday was my first day home for class - I actually apologized to my prof for being sick. But my girly bits were being stubborn and I spent most of the day chewing on ginger and waiting for various things to stop hurting and the world to stop spinnning. It was a good excuse to watch Sense and Sensibility that night. Oh, I must read that book still, and just imagine Alan Rickman's voice. Mmmmmm. He needs to be in more period movies, seriously. He should have a quota, just like Colin and Matthew and Ioan should. And they all need to be in a movie together.
If only Anglophilic fangirls ran the world! It would be a wonderful place filled with beautiful accents and real Cadbury chocolate.
Back to the reading and the sweet tea, but just wanted to make this little post. Maybe it's the sugar, maybe it's the fact one of my ILL books came in, but I'm just in an good mood!
