*Firstly, I love Dante. I love how the Divine Comedy is both high-flying epic adventure, political commentary, and personal vengeance, and how he can be literary and brilliant one moment and totally childish the next (Filippo Argenti, anyone?), although that's all part of the literary brilliance as well. I also love the way Dante the Pilgrim interacts with Vergil, and I think it is incredibly sweet, and have probably doomed myself to utter scholastic-dorkness by saying that. But I do. It's adorable.

Also I really want to sit down with paper and pencil because there are so many images from the Inferno that I want to draw [Vergil shielding Dante's eyes from Medusa, Dante flipping out at Nicholas III, the wood of suicides, the three animals, the Geryon...]

And Erin and I have decided we want pet Geryons to live in boxes under our beds, and make funny purring noises, and eat salesmen and Mormons who come to the door. So it shall be.



*Can I reiterate how awesome Ultimate is? I don't know why; there's just something incredibly satisfying about that powerful flick right before it sails across the green. Plus, the concept is just cool. I mean, really.



* I have to write a critique of an essay for my writing-consultant application. I don't really know what to say besides, "this needs a lot of work." Which is kind of the point, but still...I'm okay telling people when they're right there, I just need to figure out how to put the words on the paper. Which I guess IS the point, so. There you are.



* Finally, for some reason this always makes me laugh. A lot. It shouldn't. It's kind of pathetic. But it's so funny.

No no! Only the uber-crazed Mormons who try to convert you like spoonfeeding yogurt. Not you. I'd introduce you, and Bernie The Geryon never eats anyone he's introduced to. :)

Awwww. I want to be spoonfed yogurt.

But MY GOSH. They're 19-23 year old young men! Half the time they're hot! (What can I say? I'm a bad person. :D Missionary-scoping is one of the best, most fun activities a young Mormon lass can do... so fun. Heh.) Why would you WANT to drive them away? ("...uhm, religion? What? Oh yes. Just keeping talking. Mmhmm. *stares*")

But cheers for being introduced to Bernie the Geryon (the name has kilt me); sounds like a winner.

Ahahaha!

...I actually have never been accosted by a door-to-door Mormon (I haven't really been accosted by a door-to-door anything, really, except canvassers). I feel like I'm missing out on something.

And sure. I'll introduce you as soon as I get him. :D

The penguin thing is amazing. Always will be, no matter how silly it is.

Do the Inferno drawings!! I love how many artists that book inspired. My friend Martin did his senior presentation on it last year, and drew a lot of creatures from the book during his research. (He also dressed up like Dante for his presentation and danced to a parody of "Diso Inferno" that included the line "burn, sinners, burn!" It was a good time.)

[elanor-two.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! Burn, Sinners! *snerk*

If When I draw them, I will post them. :D
