Zeus is never not funny.
My schedule for tomorrow:
10 am: Go to viol rehearsal. Woo!
11 am: Write Greek midterm on two books of the Odyssey. Fail miserably. Succeed!
12 pm: Frantically attempt to do Latin homework in time to go to the class you skipped on Wednesday. (NB: see if you can find textbook tonight.) Also, maybe remember to eat something?
1:30 pm: Go to Latin class. Ad lib when asked to translate.
3 pm: Revise the essay prospectus you flubbed last week and turn it in. Again, at least think about food. (And maybe caffeine.)
6 pm: Rehearse for Elizabeth Project. Remember not to fall asleep on viol, as it does not have an endpin and would end in tragedy.
8:30 pm: Arrive at KMFDM chez kurrs. Observe gore.
12 am or thereabouts: Collapse.
*whine*
In other news, I was thinking about it (don't ask why, I don't know), and I've realized that I don't really understand the large hairy bearded storm-god thing; I mean, I mostly just find Zeus worthy of mockery (see title. Also, I still want a "nous of Zeus" t-shirt). He's really just an obsessive wencher with a disastrous home life (and then there was Ganymede, but we mostly don't talk about Ganymede). There's also Baal, and maybe it's all the Biblical propaganda, but I'm not convinced at all. Weakling.
And then there's Thor. I mean, really. Thor?
*is promptly struck by lightning*
Which is all to say, really, who has a favourite type of archetypal deity? And what is it? And why?
Eecch. I'm going to go, uh, read some more Homer. Fun times.
