Happy Earth Day, people :)

Last night was Drew's party. His new place looks great, though I'll have to see it again when it isn't furnished with so many people :)

Don't get me wrong -- they were nice people. It's just there were so many of them.

I'm going to be spending this day tabling for the NDP. We have a game tomorrow, just so my players know.

I am still writing, and finally drew up a long-overdue plan for my novel. I have, in fact, been writing this whole time, even with all the other things I've been busy with.

I'm also reading a new version of the Gilgamesh and Enkidu legend. I'm halfway through and really liking it.

Life is good :)

I would love to get my little mole-paws on that when you're finished. I have been dying for a clutter-free translation.

*tries to picture you with mole-paws, and the image isn't coming*

This translation is very clutter-free -- all the clutter has been shifted to footnotes and endnotes. In fact, it's readable I may be finished it in time for tomorrow's game, and can pass it off to you then :)

I'm glad to hear your life is treating you well. Congratulations on the imminent move, by the way! You'll have to take some pics of your new place for us once you're settled in. When are you moving in?

Thank you, although after I wrote that, the day went downhill somewhat :/

Life is still good, though, overall :)

We're moving in July. July 1st is provincial moving day. It's always chaos because everyone moves at the same time. We're going to see if we can move some things in early -- the large stuff at least.

I don't have a camera, but I'm sure my roommate, [livejournal.com profile] montrealais, will have lots of pics. I'll link them when he has them up :)

Enkidu!

...he was a joke back in CEGEP, though for the life of me I can't remember why...

I could see Enkidu as a running gag. He is often played for laughs in Gilgamesh.

Plus, anything ending in a -u sound is just begging to be howled.

"Enkiduuuuuu!"
