So, I was told at 4:45 that I was babysitting from 5:30-8:30. Not cool. I procrastinated all day assuming that I'd have those three hours. And then, on top of this, I didn't get paid!

I was bored of homework yesterday, so I decided to watch "The Mummy" again.
It had been a while, and we just finished the Egyptian chapter in Art History.
So I spent the whole time correcting their incorrect facts and history.
For example, Imhotep was not a priest in the 19th Dynasty, he was an architect in the 3rd Dynasty.
In fact, when the Greeks took over, they revered him as the god of architecture.
Scarabs are dung beetles, not maneaters. They were placed in the mummy with the heart because they were seen as a symbol of the afterlife.
Yes, the mummy's heart was taken out but then placed back in, unlike what what said in the movie.
There is more than one Book of the Dead. It is a scroll or engravings found in every tomb.
(Oh, and from the second movie, Nefertiti was the wife of Amenhotep III [aka Akhenaton] of the 18th Dynasty.)
Yes, Seti I was a pharoah of the 19th Dynasty, but he was not important enough to be in my textbook. (He was simply mentioned when the book talked about his scribe's Book of the Dead.)

I just cranked out an Art rough draft in an hour and a half. 'Twas interesting.

H.
Favorite: Hook. This is a great movie. The first time I saw it was the summer between Freshmen and Sophomore year of high school. And I was in a Peter Pan mood the rest of the summer. "I do believe in fairies." "I hope your car flies." Good times, good times.
Least Favorite: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. God, was that a bad movie. I loved the book, but the movie was dull. They cut all the good stuff and spent way too much time on Dumbledore's Army. And the death of Sirius was so corny and not at all how I pictured it.

I killed it. This has been the highlight of my day so far.







Although this highlight will be supplanted by SPN tonight.

So, I just read a couple of interesting things:

     The Dark Knight is set to be released on DVD on December 9th. Just in time for Christmas!
     They are making ANOTHER Pirates movie. This'll be number 4. It'll be out in 2012 or so.
