Aleksandra the Great’s Exploits

[Shoot. I just realized that all of September passed (but when I checked my watch and saw that it was the 8th, I wondered whether it was September or October), and I didn’t even make a new post. How dull!]

This evening during the Eagles game I was in my room (at home), reading a collection of Christina Rossetti sonnets (which were very lovely indeed). Every minute or so, the group of people out back or in one of the houses across the alley would chatter loudly, and I had imagined that it was a party. I soon realized that they were being loud about the football game, and I managed to ignore the noise. Suddenly, a bomb exploded. Or at least that’s what it seemed like, since I’ve been reading (for class) about violent colonial battles in Algeria. It was probably only a firework of some sort, but the sound reverberated and shook more than all of the noise-makers fired after it. I had, for about a second, seriously worried that a bomb had exploded.
