Amor Vincit Omnia

[said_scarlett]

I've been reading an interesting book. It's 'The History of Natural Love', and it's a look at how the idea of 'love' has evolved from the time of the Golden Age of Greece up to modern-day America. The author's own extrapolations leave much to be desired, but the snippets of poetry and other historical and literary documentation is fascinating. I've only made it to the section on Roman marriage - the first section was Greece and the various forms of 'love' adhered to there - but it's a neat little read.

I've also been plundering Lovecraft and re-visiting old favorites. I spent the morning immersed in 'The Call of Cthulhu' and again decided that Hohenheim would make an awesome Lovecraftian hero. He still sounds like Locke from LOST in my head, but that will be changing this weekend when I finally hear his dub voice. I am both frightened and excited by this.

I have a good many things I could be doing right now, and I suppose I should get off of my butt and do them.
