More Rain, Alternative Energy, and Prometheus

Would you be entirely surprised if I told you that it rained today for no reason?

Yeah.

Right out of the sky.

And yesterday it was cloudless.

Whatever.

In the past few days of experimenting with vegetarianism/vegan-ism, I've been looking for alternative proteins, other than the obvious animal products [meat, cheese, dairy, ect.]. While I already knew that beans and corn mixed had all of the essential amino acids for protein building and the like, I wasn't aware of how amazing the combination is with white rice. Holy smokes. Not only that, but earlier in the day I gambled with a stir fry dealio with white rice. The only hazard I can foresee with this project is a high starch intake. However, were I to be celiac I'd be covered. How exciting is that? I'm not sure if I could handle the whole vegetarianism thing for very long though. I have a nearly insatiable attraction to meat. Not really, I just wanted to use that word. :D Anywho, what I really mean is that I might be willing to try it for a week and then see how life goes from there, BUT! because I'm not a jingoist of soy or soy products, I'd be interested to see how that turned out. Maybe that will be my next challenge, if I ever get around to finishing the current one, whatever that is.

In English [a class that I don't mind talking about because I thoroughly enjoy it this year] a project of this quarter is to read a fiction book and present a steroidal book report about it. And you thought book reports were for elementary school! HA! Really though, my book [as you well know from ages ago!!!] is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Well..... :D I finished it today, thanks to a ridiculous talk with myself and avid reading skills. For such a petite book it's definitely packed with millions of allegories and even a few allusions to other literary works and myths. One in particular would be Prometheus, as said in the title, Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus. I thought it was marvelous how Shelley pulled in Greek mythology into her novel, seeing as Frankenstein was himself the modern equivalent of Prometheus, doomed to a metaphorical daily liver feast.

Anywho.... Seeing as I just spent close to four hours on a stupid presentation for the book, I might as well display my affection for it. The book I mean. Even though it took me ten years and a few months to read, I thoroughly enjoyed it, despite the ridiculous language difference. :D Anywho, I'm gone to do something totally fun. Maybe? Cheers.
