The lights are burned out in my room and it's going to drive me nuts all night. It's all fun and games until I start snacking on Excedrin. No, I didn't actually do that.

...[livejournal.com profile] trekreversebang! I don't know if this concept has been done for other fandoms, but it's a cool idea. Won't be signing up, but will definitely be stalking. I would recommend participation particularly because they have awesome mods. No, seriously. I am spoiled for big bang experiences for eternity because [livejournal.com profile] startrekbigbang was so on top of things. Probably a symptom of being part of one of the best fandoms ever, not that I'm biased or anything.

I'm so behind on my classes already it's not even funny. There was a week or so when I just didn't have my books yet so I was just mreh-ing through classes. Now I gotta catch up on the friggin' Iliad, among other things.

I'm repeating the same creative senior sem I took a year ago, which we can do as long as we pursue a different project, but it means I have to write another short story cycle and I've got nothing. I feel like the inventory of ideas I came in with as a freshman has all been exhausted. Unless I manage to turn what was formerly a novel idea into a series of short stories, which I am dangerously close to thinking is actually possible, but the ambiguity of said plot idea would be really frustrating to discuss with other people unless I get as completely awesome a group as I did last time; Unlikely. Also, I would have to approach the professor about the policies on expanding already completed work, etc., since I did write a short story involving the characters my sophomore year. Up until we actually start talking about what we're gonna, do, though, talking about the same Hemingway book again is so damn boring.

Write a series of genderbending stories about well-known characters. idk.

...Ok, I just realized that's a fucking terrible idea that would get really old after the first two. LOL.

LOL, it could probably somehow be done well, but not by me.

Oh, no, HOW ABOUT. I write about a bunch of iconic figures in fiction and make them gay oh wait...

no helpful ideas on your sem, sorry, but I had to comment because of the Iliad. Sp please forgive my curiosity: is it part of your studies?

Yeah, I'm taking a Greek Myth & Hero class as an elective. I like the Iliad so far.

I studied it in junior high - I liked it quite a lot. Probably because of all the battles and the gods involved :-P

I'm surprised by how detailed and beautifully written all the battle stuff is!
It would be nice if somebody did a film version that isn't as silly as Troy. Troy was fun, but a ridiculous adaptation.

It'd probably only work as a mini-series in order to be done well. the Odyssey was quite all right filmed that way...
