nessie

well i am still wide awake, so i guess i'll just keep contributing to my various blogs. i can do that. they are my blogs. duh.

i have an iGoogle gadget called "Today's Reason To Drink". i think that's funny. and it is funny. and if you don't think it's funny i don't really care because, as we have already established, this is my blog. anyway, august 22 is my brother's birthday. i'll drink to that. but it is also, as iGoogle informs me, the anniversary of the first sighting of the Loch Ness monster. in-- get this-- 565. that's like over 1400 years ago! that's a time that i associate with, well.... nothing, really. i don't even think about the 500's. nothing cool was happening yet. the reformation wasn't coming for like 1000 more years and i am a protestant theologian. why would i know anything about this time in history? ok, that's a bit facetious, but only a bit. and honestly, if someone had told me to guess when the first sighting of the elusive "nessie" occurred, i am fairly certain i would have said something like, "i dunno, like the 1800's or something? how the fuck would i know?" that's how i talk when i know nothing. it might be how i talk all the time. not sure, exactly. but anyway, back to my "point", if there is one. people have been spotting this evasive little beast for that long!?!?!

shouldn't it be dead by now?
