King of Naples, King of Spain, King of... Westphalia?

"If Buonaparte remains on the throne of France a year longer," the vicomte continued, with the air of a man who, in a matter with which he is better acquainted than anyone else, does not listen to others but follows the current of his own thoughts, "things will have gone too far..."


I found this as a part of one of those "spam email disguised as a real email" emails; the ones that have a huge compilation of random story bits all garbled together. I suppose this blog is results in me admitting that I was actually reading the garbled bits... *ahem* chalk it up to procrastination... Besides, it was worth it for this:

"with an air of a man who, in a matter with which he is better acquainted than anyone else, does not listen to others but follows the current of his own thoughts"

It's just so damn funny. That's all. I laughed out loud.



I wish I had taken more English - I think I'd be good at it writing like that. People are generally good at things they like. Except for Quantum Mechanics, but that's all relative anyways.

Relative like some descriptions of time. See, it is after 4 am right now, but it's just my culturally defined perception of 4am which which makes it feel late to me. And it is not good to be up this late. I know there are some who would disagree... I think those people should study and write my midterm on Monday for me. Those crazy, crazy people. Too bad all the crazy people I know aren't proficient in Organic Chemistry.

Hmmm... organic seems to turn up a lot in these blogs. I wonder if that is a reflection of my study habits. Strange coincidence. I'd better stop now.
