THE DA VINCI CODE

Okay, I am reading a book called the Da Vinci Code, all about he hidden messages in artistic works about the true nature and location of the Holy Grail. I have to admit, it's kind of blowing my mind. It claims to be based primarily in fact, and has pretty sound evidence to back it up. I won't give away the big reveal, but when the true nature of the Holy Grail is revealed, that is, it is explained that the Holy Grail is not a cup at all, but something else entirely, something that we have known about forever but have seen in a completely false light, the implications are mind-boggling. I highly suggest reading this book to those who can wrap their minds around a mystery and open their thoughts to the possibilty that all we know of the past and the society around us is a lie. I am not even finished with the book yet, and already I am forced to view the world around me in a new light.
Read on, my little ones.

OBSCURE FACT OF THE DAY

The Knights Templar, the guardiens of the Holy Grail, we're attacked and tortured for their secrets under the order of the Pope of the day. The Pope sent out the order that the attacks we're to take place simultaneously on a specific day, so that none could warn the others. This day fell on Friday the 13th, and it is why that day is now considered unlucky.

GRAD SCHOOL

Yes folks, it's true. Meghan is returning to school. I didn't feel like I got myself in enough debt the first time, so I am going back for another round.
I am applying to FSU, Penn State, SDSU, Birmingham University, The Actors Studio, and, the piece de resistance, YALE. Send all your energy to the admissions office at Yale, and repeat this mantra: "You WILL admit Meghan. YOU WILL ADMIT MEGHAN!"
All of your support will be greatly appreciated, as it always is.

JOKE OF THE DAY

How many surrealists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

MUST SEE

I must encourage others to see Bend it Like Beckham. It's a cheeky little film from the UK, a feel good flick if ever there was one. Jonathon Rhys-Meyers...nice.

THE PERFECT MESSAGE

Someday, the male gender as a whole will finally come to understand the subtlety of what women want. We want to be surprised by your regard for us. We want men to stop us in the middle of a sentence with a toe-curling kiss, just to see the expression on our faces. We want rambling, nervous phone messages that sound like they took an hour to form, but that make us grin from ear to ear like a Chesire cat, simply from the knowledge that all the nervous fuss is being made over us. We want enthusiasm, life, and magic, and there is some small part of men that want it to. Shakespeare wasn't a woman, neither was Moliere, De Bussy, Gershwin, Stoppard....all men, all gloriously versed on the advantages of romantic thinking. Romance should be a game, a song, a laugh, a lark, and a surprise around every bend. And no, it doesn't have to be elaborate and expensive. It's the simplicity of the thought that means the world, not all of the bells and whistles. (Okay, a little whistling is nice, but never a requirement). Romance never has to die with the aging of a relationship. New day, new reason to find someone fascinating. Like a reality TV show, not so much watching because you think anything all that amazing is going to happen, but enamoured none the less of the sheer possibilities of what they might do next.

Make us laugh, make us sing, make us cry, make us want to be the best versions of ourselves.


QUOTE OF THE DAY

Love is not love which alters when alteration finds, nor bends with the remover to remove. Oh no, it is an e'r fixed mark, that looks on tempests and is not shaken.
