(no subject)
So, after ages of being Wickdeprived, I talked with capnwicky for the first time in two years. As a result, my roommate (and probably half my dorm, as apparantly I was talking heck loud...) thinks I'm a pubesistahing freak, but. Who the hell cares, I got my KOSECH fix for the first time in FOREVER.
I had the randomest day yesterday. It went kind-of like this: "I want bon-bons. I am going to get bon-bons. Mm, bon-bons. I am bored, I will not do my homework and instead watch West Wing and Smallville. Now I will watch Lords of War and drink coffee. Now I will call Kasey. Hey, look, it's two AM and I still have to read Agamemnon!"
I've figured out what I'm going to translate for my language component. I'm going to do a mix of LOTS of Seneca, from some excerpts from Oedipus to the scene near the end of Thyestes, where he eats his children and gets very full. Mujah. I talked with Steve about it and he seemed pretty happy with my choices. I'd really love to translate Aeschylus, but as I'm just beginning Greek, that would be ridiculous. Maybe I'll get a chance to do it for credit some other time, and if not, I can always do it for fun over the summer (next summer, when I've had a semester of Reading Greek.)
For a Freshman Pysics major, I'm sure taking an intense Classics courseload. 400-level language component, 10 credits of Ancient Greek, and an analytical drama class. I think I have a Classics problem. Also, last night I started to translate the Latin from Bartlet's rant in two cathedrals, but parts of it are strongly inflected -- (cruciatus in crucem), and I don't have a good church latin dictionary. I mean, I basically know what everything is, but it would be awesome to know a bit more about church latin so that I feel more accurate and knowledgeable. I think I'll talk to Steve about doing some work in Church latin (not that the nasty stuff could ever replace classical latin. Classical latin will always be teh shit and teh rhetoric.)
ETA: Kosech SO still has dildosexinablender listed as an interest, and I'm sooo in the mood for more latin fun anger.
