Obstructions
July 14, 2008
Computer broken. Posting from the damn library. New computer ordered, but delayed by holdup with the credit card. Why do I have the credit card, if every time I need to use it I have to call some 800 number and recite Gunga Din backwards to a machine?
Birkensnake update: I now have nightmares about screen printing. But supposedly the covers are done (I haven’t seen them all myself). I think we’re still waiting for thread to arrive in the mail, for the final act of binding. The truth is I have little control over this phase of the operation.
I also had a nightmare about Greek verbs. A couple of years ago, before I came to Brown, I was teaching myself Greek out of a book; now that I’m done with Brown I’m teaching myself Greek out of a book again. But now, unexpectedly, the verbs haunt me. Particularly λαμβανω, take, receive.
