i'm reading a really fascinating article about athenian humanism, how athens' imperial, crusading, impious and somewhat immoral doings after the persian war came as a result of their abandonment of their territory to persian destruction in order to face them at sea. it's really persuasive and fascinating, it's a really seductive creation myth for the character of a people.

the snow has stopped, which stinks, because in spite of the wailing about how it's spring and that it shouldn't be snowing anymore, this is really the finest snow there is. because it's a shower rather than a blizzard, a fleeting pillow fight that makes the air come alive. snow is the most beautiful thing in the world.
i would love to have some leisure time, a really gluttonously oblivious day when you only realize at sunset that a day has passed, when clocks are not symbols of doom.
