another list;
I don't usually check my Livejournal or update it, but I'm going to use it to organise what I need to do anyway. Largely because I seem to fail at using written organisers these days.

After Li Bai's 'Jing Ye Si'
After Li Bai’s Jing Ye Si
moonlight falls on the floor before my bed
i think it’s almost like
frost
in that space between what’s above my head and
what’s below my feet
is that reflection of
home
i step on nostalgia
toes on the cold floor
and slump back into the fluff -
reading the poetic edda, 1
Hiardir that vito, nær thær heim scolo,
oc ganga tha af grasi;
enn osvidr madr kann ævagi
sins um mal maga.
Cattle know when they ought to go home,
and then they leave the pasture;
but the foolish man never knows
the measure of his own stomach.

utterly random updates;
Well, I really haven't updated my Livejournal in a very, very long while, so I figured I'd do a bit of a random write-up on the things that have been going on so people on my Flist can have an idea of what I've been up to over the past couple of weeks.
The primary thing on the list, of course, is Greek - Ancient Greek, that is. I've been back at ( Read more... ) -
gettin' greek;
It's frankly been ages since I last updated my Livejournal - honestly, there hasn't been much that I've been feeling like blogging about, but today's something I feel like writing about. I started summer school last Monday and Ancient Greek has been absolutely. insanely. intensive. But it is also oddly fun ... it's a wondrously odd language which ( Read more... ) -
back in da housssseee
I'M BACK! My nose doesn't seem very happy though. It's been weird since I woke up ... at 5am in the morning. I have a feeling my body assumed it was the new sleep cycle when I went to bed at 10pm and so happily woke me up 7 hours later. This will take a while to get back to normal. Or maybe I should just stick to the new cycle so I can sleep early ( Read more... ) -
and it's all done for the year;
I've finally managed to pack almost everything that I need to clear out - save for a couple of loose items which I will figure out tomorrow - and my room is this close to being as bare as it was when I first came in. I cannot believe that it has been an entire 9 months since I moved into hall. I am glad to be moving but at the same time, I know I ( Read more... ) -
on war;
Chiron had said once that nations were the most foolish of mortal inventions. 'No man is worth more than another, wherever he is from.'
'But what if he is your friend?' Achilles had asked him, feet kicked up on the wall of the rose cave. 'Or your brother? Should you treat him the same as a stranger?'
'You ask a question that philosophers argue ( Read more... ) -
a light revamp;
I finally got around to revamping my Livejournal with a layout I got from Fruitstyle, just to stop my Livejournal from looking too much like a kid's basic HTML course project. 's not a terribly riveting revamp, but I figured it's nice to implement some sort of proper colour scheme for once (yes, I know there isn't really any colour. Keep your wise ( Read more... ) -
unsleeping;
I wasn't aware it was going to happen again, but here we are: insomnia's keeping me up again. It's been 2 and a half hours since I've tried sleeping, and it's not working out well. I'm not sure if it's my cough keeping me awake, or if my mind is simply refusing to go into sleep mode: it might be the 20-minute nap I took from 7.40pm to 8pm, but that ( Read more... )
