The Life and Times of El

My brother is a most capable and resourceful lad. Being rather miffed at not being able to write an Extended Essay on the mythology of Star Wars, he pitched another idea to the Omniscient Council of Vagueness teachers: pirates. That being approved, he's done some research, and he's focusing on one pirate in particular.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, my brother gets to write a 4000-word essay on the awesomeness of the Dread Pirate Roberts.

You know what a good day is? A good day is taking the train all the way to the beach, and walking along the shore as the clouds drift across the sky. A good day is eating delicious wedges and chai. A good day is hugging every statue that you pass. A good day is having a long conversation with someone in pirate talk (we missed Talk Like A Pirate Day... again). A good day is walking back to the train station talking about Roman emperors. A good day is falling asleep on the train to the sounds of Pink Floyd. A good day is eating icecream on the way home. A good day is spent with your sibling being surreal, and hoping that it entertains the public.

That's a good day.
