day between semesters

I had today off and got to spend some time alone in the house for most of day. Then I met Topher downtown and we went to Palace for Crabby Hour ($3.00 Dungeness Crab Legs, etc) and we finally saw Invictus. It was a very well made and inspiring film...

Invitcus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley
