It's been a pretty busy several months. It started with a leak from the apartment above which lead to some major reconstruction of a bathroom and the laundry room. This lead the roomate who owned the place to decide to move shortly after the holidays. This lead to said move, including camping out for a week waiting for the girl whose place I was ( Read more... )

Hi all! Things have been a bit busy. Philology is a very fun but not easy class. But it has convinced me it would be totally worth it to read the Norse Eddas and Sagas in the original language^^; And yes, some day I want to tackle Beowulf in the original Old English.

I am talking about major structural changes - adding in a character, inserting a new plot thread, redoing a part with a different ( Read more... )
