A Ramble

So tonight I was sitting down and writing poetry. Microsoft Word did not recognize what I thought was a word (gover). I went to a few online sources and they pretty much told me I was nuts for thinking it was a real word, though I'm sure I'd heard it before. So I went to my ol' Oxford dictionary, which is quite old now and it confirmed gover is not a word. However, I stumbled across an interesting definition of goth (keep in mind this dictionary is from the late 80s). It's definition:

Uncivilized or ignorant person, comparable to Goths who invaded Roman Empire in 3rd-5th c.

Quite humorous. I imagine a newer version would be different. Which means perhaps I should pick up a newer version that's from the 90s, at least. But it reminds me of a book a friend once showed me which they picked up at a book sale. It was written in the early 60s by some psychologist and was about methods of curing homosexuality.

I was hearing good reviews of the film Control. I'm a Joy Division fan and finally did get to see this tonight. A friend and I have wanted to see this together for some time, but our schedules never matched. Overall, I wasn't too impressed. The cinematography was quite basic and the movie didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know about Ian Curtis or Joy Division and the performances were average and nothing to rave about.
