hide your face so the world will never find you

Tonight's bit of randomness: I remember thinking when I first read the Old Testament that there must have been lots of ashes scattered around Israel for all the mourning people to sprinkle on their hair as they rend their clothes asunder and wail their grief into the high heavens. It's only now that I realize they must have gotten the ashes from fireplaces and such. DUH. WTF, prepubescent self?

In other news, I'm so not in the mood to study for tomorrow's exam.
