i very nearly forgot....

today, on my way to work, i ran into my landlord in the lobby. we talked about greek again, as we typically do when i run into him, but since my semester is finally ending, i'm gonna have the time to persue it. he's of the opinion that the way to start is with pronunciation, and to demonstrate, he recited a passage from the illiad (some of ajax's lines, which are good), with such vigour and pomposity...

i already liked my landlord, but his enthusiasm. its hard to describe, but its encouraging. he even took a moment to clear his throat and compose himself before he began reciting. it was great.
