woodfaceMy sis called earlier to tell me she had corrected my chapter on the basilisk. She asked me to drop by as she had made chocolate mouse for the first time and she wanted me to have a taste. So I dropped by and it was very yum. My sis is a great cook.
When I came back home, my parents were back too. After seeing Troy I had told my sister that I should read the Iliad and the Odyssey as I didn't know the story all that well. Apparently my sister told my mom this and she bought me a dutch translation with both stories. Bwah, now I'm tempted to just start reading.
Neopets is proving to be very addictive. I got this potion that should allow me to transform a pet into a Draik pet (which is a limited pet). Apparently it's worth a lot of neopoints so now I don't know whether to sell it, save it or get myself a draik pet with. Decisions, decisions.

Date: 2004-05-23 01:28 am (UTC)But I just found my copies as I was cleaning out my parents' place, and have long thought that I should read the Iliad again when not being forced to for academic reasons, to see if I could appreciate it (I mean, it *must* be good, right? It's been around an awfully long time)...

Date: 2004-05-23 03:48 pm (UTC)And Briseis? I remember her. Sort of. Does she ever get mentioned again? You'll have to let me know... I vaguely remember thinking that Chryseis was somehow important for the two seconds she was mentioned and it was a big goal of mine ot find a way to reference her.
Er... I should get out of bed and help my roommate pack up his stuff from the kitchen... should should should...

Date: 2004-05-23 04:07 pm (UTC)But you're inspiring me :) I'm out of school now, at least for the moment, and should get back into reading again. No reason to run in fear at the sight of anything more literary than a Harlequin Desire paperback. I will!

The translation I have is from 1959 and it's all in prose. It's a bit stiff but enjoyable. They claim to be loyal to the text. =o)
