  • Well I’m back at school. I have my own room now (happy dance!) and although I have TWO closets and TONS of space… it does get rather lonely. I find that I am reading more than I watch TV or anything. Started reading “The Iliad” by Homer. I just read it and pace around my room listening to music. I sometimes feel like the man in the picture up there. All I need is a knit sweater, a grouchy cat, and a pipe and I am officially old. Bah humbug.


    Sometimes while reading The Iliad I wish I could be there. To see some of the women they discribe would be truly humbling.


    Andromache (Hector’s Wife)


    Hera, Queen of the Gods


    Aphrodite


    And the current fantasy love of my life….


    HELEN OF TROY



    There I’m done. I’d say I can quit any time I want to, but that day is so long in coming I might as well not.

  • You are a hopeless romantic. I can’t wait to get back to school. Luvyas and sorry I didn’t get to say bye.

  • I have a little hope so I’m not TOTALLY hopeless. Not completely. Yet.

  • Hmmmmm. . . Hera married her brother, Aphrodite was in love with Paris and threatened to encompass Helen with “hard hate”, Helen runs away from her husband and helps spark a nine year war.  Sorry, but being beautiful on the outside doesn’t mean good on the inside. 

  • I didn’t mean to make it sound like I was putting you down.  Your pics just made me think about how shallow some real women can be when it comes to looks but never develop their brains or ethics.  It’s been very hard for me to listen to some men (not you!) who put down all women because of the brainless and/or cruel actions of a select group.  My apologies if I offended. 

  • never read the Iliad myself.  Instead, I read the Odyssey by Homer.  Pretty good stuff, that.  Have a great week!

  • Odyssey is in the book as well, right after the Iliad. I’ll get there some day.

  • I have me own room too now. What adventures we both blog about :) !
