Well, looking at my copy of David Copperfield that we're reading for my Brit Lit II class (published by a Canadian company), I happened to notice that the photo on the cover looked familiar.

...Savor the wrongness in having a psychotic American guerilla portraying the archetypal dimwitted British naif.
Despite having had only about three hours of sleep last night, I'm feeling relatively upbeat and positive. Maybe it's because I'm finally starting to see some results from my exercise routine, or maybe it's because I enjoy feeling virtuously martyred. Either way, it makes things quite a bit easier.
Edit: I figure when I'm in London, I'll take in a show or two. Right now I'm favoring Jerry Springer: The Opera and The Lion King...any other suggestions? (I would go see Alyson Hannigan in When Harry Met Sally, but unfortunately that will have stopped running by the time I go there.)
Edit 2: WTF? "Suikoden IV breaks tradition in several ways in regards to its storyline. It’s a true sequel, the first in the series..." Um, hello? Every single Suikoden game has been a direct sequel? In fact, this is the only one in the series that is NOT a direct sequel, given that it's set 150 years before the original Suikoden, making it a PREquel.
