So! Being in the resolution of blogging more often, and not currently having any grand musings or ramblings with which to bless you, my avid readers (I love you both), I figure I’ll give a basic run-down on my life these days.
One word: READING. I’ve been actively rediscovering my appetite for verbiage, and it’s been grand. I just finished Dumas’ The Three Musketeers, and upon learning that it is the first of a trilogy featuring the same characters, I promptly ordered the next two books. So those are on my reading list, along with Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, a biography of George Washington, The Portrait of Dorian Gray, and The Count of Monte Cristo. Should be fun. I’ve realized that reading consumes a lot of time, and therefore is to be a lifelong pursuit. Works fine for me.
Also, reading all these swashbuckler books has irrevocably decided me in favor of learning to fence. I want to learn the differences between the Spanish and Italian and French schools, and to get into some of the really hardcore European martial arts. Didn’t know that the knights had martial arts, did ya?! Well they did!! If you guys want, I can do a whole spiel about those. I would enjoy that. I’ve got plenty of material on Oriental martial arts already, and could probably do a series on martial arts. In fact, I shall! Consider that my new project. I shall begin as soon as I return from…
EUROPE. I’m going on a study abroad trip to England and France, centering around the great Winston Churchill and WWII; so we get to visit London and Oxford, see Blenheim Palace AND Chartwell, and then spend most of our time in Normandy before ending our trip in lovely Paris. I’m rather excited.
Anyway! That’s all for now, hope you all appreciate this little newsflash. Be safe, grace and peace to you all.
