Jul. 22nd, 2006 12:25 pmSorry for being dead to LJ the last ten days or so -- I've been quite busy.
My list came in for the English Literature comprehensives. I have about a hundred works to read or re-read before September 8. Some of these "texts" are short as sonnets, others are novels hundreds and hundreds of pages long.
I've been reading Everyman today, a late-medieval morality play. It actually calls itself a "Moralitee Playe" right on the first page -- it's funny to see that announced as anything other than a joke.
(There's a scene in it where Everyman is having a conversation with his worldy possessions, especially his gold. How do you stage that? I picture a talking treasure chest.)
The summer storm we had on Thursday was the best ever -- I've never seen lightning like that. We lost power for seven hours, but it wasn't so bad, and lucky![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
montrealais loaned m his cellphone sho I had an alarm clock for work early the next day. The power came on just as I was leaving the house.
And editting continues, at least when we've had electricity :)
