The Greek word menis, which begins The Iliad means rage. (It's in the accusative at the beginning of The Iliad but that isn't what's important right now.) But it doesn't just mean rage, so much. In The Iliad it is only used to describe the rage of gods and of Achilles against Agamemnon. Isn't that interesting?

Jacob came knocking on my door, cause we'd agreed to go off and gather sticks to roast marshmellows with at Storytellers. He looked at me as I wandered over towards the door (where my coat was hanging) and said, "you might want a coat, you know." I laughed, said I know, put my coat on, and said "I'm not your girlfriend, you know, I wear coats."

I know it's raining today, but I am ready for my prisms to start making rainbows again. Any time, guys, sun, you want to line up and make rainbows dance around my room all afternoon, I will be very happy.

By word count, I am almost halfway to the minimum. By page count, I have about a third of the pages they want. I have bunches more to say, but right now I am sitting here at my computer, feeling stuck and playing Minesweeper.

They had Two Towers posters at the dining hall. I don't think they really knew why, but they were giving them away. So I took one. And now I look at my walls and realize that I do not, in fact, have any space.

On Saturday they are running two shuttles to Kinko's and shuttles most of the evening to the President's house.

The genitive of Zeus (at least in Homeric Greek) is Dios. Dios is also an epithet for Achilles: Atreides te anax andron kai dios Achilleus.

Realization. Tylor hit the same bits of me, I think, that Pratchett does. I quite like Pratchett, I own every paperback Discworld novel there is. I think Susan is awesome, and like Carrot an awful lot. Utena is getting me in the places Sandman and other Gaiman stuff does. And Gaiman I buy in hardback.

I have what probably amounts to two pages on Paris. (Paris, not Pyrrhus.) And how he is most definately not a hero. I'm not actually quite sure how long it is, cause right now I'm reading over what I had written and writing stuff out by hand, cause I find it easier to think that way. And while I have a rough guesstimate, I'm ont entirely sure how my handwriting translates into double spaced 12 point Palatino.
