...And I have done practically none of my Physics. Durn.
And it won't be a long one, either. I've written five chapters, uploaded three and only need maybe another three to finish it. Whoo! A finished piece of writing.
Reading the Odyssey today (translation, I'm afraid. I don't think I'm quite ready for the real thing) and it struck me how cinematic Homer's writing is. Like a Quentin Tarantino film. Flashbacks (constant references to past episodes in History/Mythology) and premonitions all over the place. You can just hear the 'Bride Rage' theme tune, every time Odysseus contemplates killing those wretched suitors.
It's brilliant.
