his words like snowflakes. Yes, it's snowing! A lot.

It is snowing, and it is beautiful. The last time it snowed this much, I was in the MFA trying to write an article on the Monet special exhibit. It is nice to be able to stare at the prettiness from the comfort of my own room, rather than while running around MIT with no previous experience and no map. You know why the simile is always petals falling like snow rather than snow falling like petals? Because nowhere in the world are there this many petals, that's why.

Of course, I have to say something about Greek too. So: Just when I start getting frustrated with Euripides, he says stuff that I have roughly translated as "Women ought to stick together".

Also, there is a word for "gushing from the throat".

Sounds pretty!

Euripides! Yay! What are you reading? With whom? I'm currently reading Heraclitus, and he has a great line for archaeologists: "Those who seek gold dig much dirt and little else." It's weird to work with something so fragmentary, though. Feels a little like doing Hansen and Quinn exercises, although he's more into fire than soldiers guarding the eyes of Homer by the bridge. With goats.

Snow! It's been such a warm winter here that all the ski resorts are closed :(.
