no cartoons, just the news
It's nine O'clock on a saturday....
and I believe the Summer is beginning to merge with the Fall, although I have a feeling this season will last about as long as Spring did, which was about two weeks and then it shot to 100 F.
I'd like to head over to IBC and see what could do for whoever finds themself in North Texas instead of New Orleans, but I've gotta work at One. Really, there's little for me to say since no one really reads this and all I'm doing is writing for my own benefit.
What a selfish jerk.
Here's a brief statement of the current:
Still in the beginning of the new semester, currently reading Richard Rorty, two books on Mozart, and the Epic of Gilgamesh. FinAid arrives next week sometime, and I'm w..a...i..t...i..n..g.. to hear if I won the Holocaust Studeis Scholarship. My research this semester will most likely focus on the Haskalh--the Jewish Enlightenment in the 18th Century, and perhaps applying some literary criticism to a film about the Holocaust. On the agenda for reading this semester (for my classes): Milton, Homer, Dante, Virgil.

Sorry-just saw the comment for the first time today. Eric Auerbach's masterpiece, _Mimesis_, contains an excellent segment on the difference between Homeric and Biblical texts. The chapter is called "Odysseus' Scar". You should be able to find the text of the chapter online if you 'google' the title.
