It's been five times, and I'll bite your nose off if you say differently
I haven’t updated in a few days as I’ve been trying to finish The Brothers Karamazov. It’s the last book I have to read for the course I’m in right now, and once I write a paper on it I will be finished my Master’s. I’ve also been busy because my uncle and his family, in a bit of spectacularly bad timing, have chosen to visit this week, so I’m playing tour guide too.
Over their complaints about the heat, we visited Niagara Falls yesterday. Since I moved here eleven months ago, I’ve seen the falls five times (shut up John), which is more than anyone should have to. Granted, yesterday was the first time that I’d taken the Maid of the Mist boat tour, which takes you in a boat right up to the falls. I hadn’t been too impressed with the falls up until now, but any experience is more interesting when you might die. I’ll see if I can post the video tomorrow.
Side note: every time I go to the falls I think of the scene in Superman II, when the kid falls over the railing ("Look at me, Mom") and Superman flies down and saves him. Now, does that make me a comics nerd or a movie nerd?

A guy in Australia bit off the tip of another guy’s nose in an argument over the merits of the Sin City movie. I can believe that, I know some Australians and they're savages. I’ll have to remember biting someone's nose off as a method of emphasizing my points, though.

Ddot,
What if you are just a nerd?
P.S. Are you liking the Brothers K? Dr. Coles says it is an excellent book, though, personally I try to stay away from any of the centuries (16th, 17th, 18th, 19th). This said, I can handle the 17th if need be.
Dil
Karamazov is great! All hail Dostoevsky!
We are savages you say?? Well remind me to tell about an argument I had with a kangaroo sometime, I will give you the theatrical version....
...
I'm not sure whether a conversation with a kangaroo is an indicator of savagery or civilization, quite frankly.
