There is a slight possibility I'll be invited to a friend's house, though. To play Smash Brothers Brawl, it so happens. Last night I got my first taste of the game when one of my brother's friends came here with the game in tow.
If you ask me, the game is genius, and seems like it would make a great party game if nothing else. A few of the characters seem kind've clunky, but my opinion on that may change I guess.
Also, after digging around my trusty History textbook, I started to wonder about traitors. To be specific, Mexican traitors who joined the Texans in the Texas Revolution.
What would they have thought of doing this? Here they are caught between the dictator of Mexico, who goes ahead and executes those who don't agree with him. On the other hand, the revolutionaries certainly weren't dictators. They were however very prone to infighting, and the government, let alone Texas's fledgling military, could rarely work together.
While they may have been bound to Mexico for their own reasons, I'd have gotten fed up of the entire cause, and would have tried fleeing to Louisiana by boat or somesuch.
In other news, I looked up the word "bower", for Orchestra it so happens. Starting after Spring break we'll be getting into fiddle tunes, and the title of the first song is "Will You Come to the Bower?". I have to confess, I don't have at all an idea of what a bower is. I know a boyer is someone who makes bows, but I didn't, and still don't, think they relate.
Bower : 1. A shaded, leafy recess; an arbor. 2. A woman's private chamber in a medieval castle; a boudoir. 3. A rustic cottage; a country retreat.
I myself think the 3rd one applies.
