Hugh Laurie

Well, it's Friday. Friday the thirteenth, actually, but I am not superstitious, and that didn't seem to have any affect on my day. I do seem to have the most problems on Fridays, though. Problems as in depression about where I am in life and where I'm going. I guess it's because it's the only day of the week I'm not having to rush to get everything done for the morrow, so I actually have time to think. To be truthful, I hate thinking. On that subject, I recommend the poem 'Astonishment' by Wislawa Szymborska, which we read recently in our English class. On a lighter note, my mom and I are about to watch a Jeeves and Wooster. This is, as you can see, the promised post on Hugh Laurie. If you have ever seen the TV show House, Hugh Laurie plays Dr. House, the cynical, awful, hilarious, great title character. As Bertie Wooster, however, he is much younger, clean shaven, goofy and way, way, way more hilarious. The picture in the upper left is Laurie as Wooster, and the picture in the upper right is Laurie as House. After watching a few Jeeves and Woosters (available at your local library) I also highly recommend reading the original books by P.G. Wodehouse.
