Cold and snow and...ugh.
Nov. 8th, 2003 01:15 pmIt's supposed to snow Thursday. Oh. God. I'm so not ready for winter. Can I come down to the southern hemisphere? Or can I at least go back home, where it won't snow for another couple months?

I managed to figure out a way to connect my most out-of-left-field point to the rest of my essay. Now it's sort of out-of-the-border-between-mid-and-left-fields. Still absolutely no textual evidence to back it up, but you can buy that Yeats viewed himself as the swan from "Leda and the Swan," in that he stole all the myths of the Irish countryside, made them into beautiful poems, and then the poems caused the Easter Rising in the same way that Leda's egg, which hatched Helen, caused the Trojan War, right?
Er, yeah. I'm just glad that's not my thesis.

A note to everyone on my friends list: if I have your address, you're getting a Christmas card. If I don't have your address and you want a card from me, send me an e-mail. If I have your address, but it's changed recently, also let me know, 'cause getting mail returned is no fun. You can feel the post office people frowning at you. ;)
