i'm getting married in the morning

I feel terrible looking at this blog and seeing that there are no posts at all in March. Which means I guess that there are not many people reading at the moment? You have all probably given up on me. It makes me sad because I do check the blogs, and I like a nice regularly updated blog to keep me entertained and up to date. It's just that with moving house, organising a wedding, and not having home internet, it has been a little hard. Happily I now have some spare time. Well, it's not exactly spare, but printing things takes a long time and it's the computer that has to do all the work, so I'm free to update! Yay!
And what's news? I'm getting married in two days! Which is pretty crazy. Andrew and I have been running around like mad all week, and I'm sure not everything we wanted to do will get done. Note for others, when getting married, doing everything yourself to save money may sound like a good idea, but may also drive you crazy. And therapy doesn't come cheap these days you know.
But I am excited, and looking forward to things happening, and no longer needing to be planned for, and then the day will all be over and Andrew and I will go away and not have to do anything anymore. Sadly there will still be a lot of moving house, unpacking, etc. to do when we get back. But no matter, a holiday is as good as a holiday they say.

Oh, and I'm graduating! They sent me a letter and everything. My graduation is on the 23rd of April. It's a pretty big month all round I guess. I'll be pretty lazy after this... But always willing to help people who are getting married! Yeah. Anyhow, that's kind of the stuff that's been going on at the moment. I'll have to be rushing off somewhere else soon, but hope you all enjoy your days until the next blog post. :)

    Oi! I read that!
    No, I've just been lazy, and no time. Crazy shift hours. My next post is scheduled for Sunday after Trees' wedding. Unless something exciting of that calibre comes up ;)

    "Marriage is supremely different." Someone I know said that, so I guess we will have to put up with erratic postings. But I do look forward to reading them.
    Love,
    Dad

famous first words

Skimming through the internet the other day I came across a reference to a line of startling familiarity, a line that made me realise some first lines stick in your head forever: "Sing Goddess, the rage of Peleus' son Achilles" (funnily enough,  I can never remember the first line proper until I see it, as my friend and I spent much of year 12 Ancient History misquoting it as "rage Achilles, rage on Agamemnon". We were also amused by the fact that 'Xerxes' backwards spelt 'Sexrex'. Yeah, mature I know.) From Homer, The Illiad Ironically, a first line that I find impossible to remember is one of the most recognisable for me. I'm not usually very good at first lines, but there are a few I'd know anywhere... "Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote" My English classes at university drummed this one into me- the first line of Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales'. I think Chaucer is a genius, but this first line is not quite ...

on verse

I had alot of time to kill on the bus trip back from Canberra, and so I was reading through my English textbook (The Norton Anthology of Poetry, 5th edition, so not too bad at all)for about three hours. This is just so that you understand the cotext in which I came up with the idea for this post. Why do people always associate poetry with rhyme? It doesn't have to be the case. And I think that most people would know that alot of poetry doens't rhyme, or is at least not in rhyming couplets. This is not even a new idea. It's not just these new-fangled poets who dispense with tradition and so rhyme. Old English poetry doesn't rhyme, it alliterates instead. Shakespeare often wrote in blank verse which means NO RHYMING. Robert Browning doesn't always write in rhyme. In short, poetry doesn't necessarily equal rhyme even before the 21st century. Now, I have to confess that I am a bit biased in this as I always thought that rhyming couplets tend to sound silly. And abab...
