Earl Grey. Hot.

Well, it isn't hot anymore...sort of lukewarm...hmm. I'll go down and refill my cup.
Ah. Third cup of tea this morning. It's good tea. I can taste the woodyness of the plants.

Dr. Madsen said we had to get aquainted with Greek and Roman mythology...I never asked how far this aquaintance is supposed to go. Is this a know-their-names-and-be-on-a-friendly-basis kind of aquaintance? A go-out-to-coffee-once-in-a-while aquaintance? Or are we supposed to get intimate? I don't know if I want to go that far....there's no telling what I'll be turned into.
I'm halfway through Bulfinch at the moment (I wish I had a book where they used the Greek names, but Bulfinch is what we've got so it'll have to do), and ask far as I can tell, it's all damn fool stories wherin foolish mortals get changed into something else. A rock. A stag. A bear. A cow. A spider. A whathaveyou.
Which isn't to say I don't love reading it...hee. It's fantastic. (And it's not the Iliad. *glares at book*)

Got my last black and white roll back...lots of weird 'this is me, being artistic!' shots of bikes and boats and garbage and street signs. Yeah. But there are some I want to take into the darkroom and fiddle with...hmm. Superimposition of the dragon fetus and the Merton tree, that would be interesting...they have the same shape.

Also I was productive and went back to school clothes shopping. At White Elephant. (You didn't think I'd go to the mall, did you? :)) Naw. New clothes for less than 20 dollars (should be pounds, should be pounds!) including something funny for Liz--don't let me forget to give that to you.

Okay. I really am going to be productive now. Read the Iliad. Or at least Bulfinch. Or pack. Or something.

Or not.

Mmmmm, tea. Possibly my second obsession, after chocolate, hehe.
Actually, they have equal value in my eyes, I just have different relationships to them. Chocolate is more passionate and all-consuming, so to speak, while tea is calm and comforting.

Am rather food-oriented today. *wanders off to rummage for edibles*

Nibbles. Snacks. Things to keep me working...
Mmm. Altoids. (Wintergreen of course) :)

...for less than 20 dollars (should be pounds, should be pounds!)...

You too? ^^

[elanor-two.livejournal.com]

Oh god yes. All the time. Keep wanting to hop on the Underground, too. :)

And automatically looking right first before crossing the street, rather than left...

[elanor-two.livejournal.com]

Yep. And I keep nearly driving on the wrong side, too...well, at least, left turns always feel like they should be free turns instead of the right ones. Hee.

Earl Grey. Hot.
Captain Picard is my hero.

Jesus, I'm such a trekkie...

[elanor-two.livejournal.com]

Yay! I was wondering who'd notice that...:)

Damn, the man had taste. No better tea.

Looks like I got beat to the punch in mentioning Picard :)

Definitely the best captain of any of the five series. Need to watch more TNG, though. None of the four episodes that the Pomona College Unofficial Star Trek Club watched this weekend was a TNG episode :(

Captain picard... probably the only Frenchmen with a British accent. Although I absolutely loved the way he said "Mon dieu".

"Superimposition of the dragon fetus and the Merton tree, that would be interesting...they have the same shape."

Dragon fetus? Now you've caught my attention.

[elanor-two.livejournal.com]

Want to see? Go to my...um...next post down? Not sure, anyway, I put some pics from England up on the web. Yep. Dragon fetus in Oxford. :)
