A Storm in a Teacup

If I could rename my blog (and I think I can, I just can't be bothered figuring out how), I think I'd rename it "A Storm In A Teacup". That's lovely, isn't it? It's from Lawrence of Arabia, which is the movie I've elected to quote from today.

I'm very uninspired at the moment, brain dead and ready for bed and aiiee...look at the hour! It's not even 8:30. But I got home from work at a decent hour, read a bit on Rwanda (don't I know how to cheer myself up?), thought about going to Barnes & Noble but decided I was too tired so I went and worked out for 45 minutes. Yes, I can't reconcile that either.

But anyway, I shan't bore you all with my minutae - here's the quote I quite like:

With Major Lawrence, mercy is a passion. With me, it is merely good manners. You may judge which motive is the more reliable. - Prince Feisal (aka, Obi Wan Kenobi)

OK, now that I've just heard that quote in my head with Sir Alec Guinness' voice, I think that's why he was cast as Obi Wan. Good grief, not at all unlike Princ Feisal. Same robes flowing with wisdom. Oh George Lucas is a plagiarist of characters! I shall stop, for fear of being labeled a geek.
