Homer-Iliad

A big "Ha!" to all those who thought this would be yet another blog entry dripping with details of my life!....

You sure are gonna be disappointed so i suggest you drown your sorrows in the nearest vodka shot....or if your not at some sleazy pub.....ur nearest diet coke....(thtz d closest i come to drinks.....by choice i may point out..lol)

cause im here to talk about.....Homer.......(shocked gasps all around....wonder what gave me away??....*thinking*......it COULD be the title ofcourse....but thats too obvious to be true....sighhh...sometimes my obsession with over thinking gets too much even for me!!!)

So what about this Classical Writer-for the uninformed im sayin classical cuz hez part of the classical course and im to lazy to wiki (instead of google.....duhh!....stay wit da new lingo ppl!!!) wich century he wrote in.....i know its disgraceful but hey! i dont judge me!
well....atleast not too harshly!.........*smirk*

Alrigh...to save my fragile dignity (mind ur own business bout the 'fragile'...!!!)...i'll tell u he wz a greek writer in the 7th and 8th century BC....

Why im talking about him.....is simply cause ive been reading him today.....though not at sexually explicit as Euripides (have u READ lysistrata??......its like freakin soft po*n of 480 BC!!!...scandalous and still predictably funny.....it gives u a real taste of feminism to know that concepts like denying sex to stop the war were thought of at the time!!!...obviously i adored it!....hurrah for feminism!..:)... )

So how exactly IS Homer???....well.....ive managed to scrape my way through 4 books.......or cantons.....now some 20 remain....that and the fact that ive been calculating my daily read-rate should tell you that its not exactly like Archies!!!.....a lil on the heavy side but simply because there are 250 characters....out of which, it seems like, ive been introduced to the first 15000!!!.......lol.....

But it seriously isnt a laughing matter.....i have no idea how ill remember them all by the end of the year......n it remains best if i dont start with Faustus and the other 40 inexplicables!!!

if someone tells you eng hons is easy.....show them to me.....
n ill daintily knock there teeth in!!!>....gentle does the trick!!!!!!.....
(a lady should always have weapons....even if they're the new motorazr knifey thing that they've been advertising like crazy lately!!!!!!!)

Ive drifted off topic.....(as regular practice almost ensured!!!).....but i now accept it as one of life's most integral flaws........did i mention i love sprouting nonsense??....sighhh......its like mothers milk to me..
kinda a gross statement but i find it acceptable cuz i read it in a book i love.....odd how accepting we become when it comes to something we care about......

Not delving too deeply in my personal life.......i will tactfully shift the topic to Homer and hope that i learn to revere his words like i do Tamora's or well.......lets just leave it at 'or' and be all mysterious!

As far as Life goes.......blogging seems to be a battle between the brain which regulates and censors (tries to) what comes out of my typing.....and what i can only presume to be a very obstinate heart who wants to spill out my feelings in an irrational silly blobbery (spellcheck tells me blubbery but what does IT know??)nonsensical muddle.....silly a**.......*patronizing eye roll*....

anyway........toodles for now....
will share my literary struggles as and when they come!

a silly hand wavy thing to all!
cya next time!..........:)

The Year Begins

Renaissance-Possibly the most discussed and least researched word this past month. Being the background and the foundation for this year....i know its harassment has just begun. Even after i spent humongous amounts of time (say 2 mins) staring at the word....nothing came to me.

No feeling of enlightnment ... no flash of light which miraculously filled me with knowledge. Perhaps i took the easy way out. But those library books, devoted to this word, were just too intimidating to open up and pursue....sighhh!

Somehow i just KNOW its going to be a very very long year!

so cheers to life and well.....to misery too!
for one can't do without the other!......

(ha! cynicism at the very beginning of the year.....i sense
a lot of philosophy will come tumbling out!!!!......)

a lot of unvarnished affection!
tata!.....:)
