elabyMAN, I love vacation. I did NO HOMEWORK this weekend. Which means that I have to buckle down today and tomorrow, but still... a whole weekend with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caitirin with no homework hanging over my head. It was glorious. We even got, like, dishes and laundry done o.o
[edit for brief interlude in whichelaby ascertains that her answering machine isn't coming on, doctors call asking for bloodwork, various scheduling has to be done around vacations/classes, caitirin is summarily called and telephones and answering machines are unplugged, now to resume working correctly]
That was weird O.o
Anyway, I should get back to reading Malory. I took a break to try to find some drawings I'd been looking for, one for Caitirin and one from this bookhak42 lent me last year in which King Arthur awoke in the present day and Merlin was 11 years old. I also found my notebooks from my first year of college, which I'd been looking for - it turns out I pulled all the pages out and stuck them into a binder, and had forgotten I did that. Heh.
Back to Malory ^^;;

Date: 2006-03-13 11:16 pm (UTC)I like Geofrey of Monmouth for early Merlin & Arthur's youth, the pseudo-Walter Map Lancelot-Grail cycle for the grail stories, and the events leading to Arthur's death and Gottfried von Strassburg for my Tristan. Mallory does have some fun episodes though.

Date: 2006-03-14 12:22 am (UTC)I'm enjoying this so far, but not as much as I liked Chrétien de Troyes. I have a harder time understanding the language, obviously, but for some reason I can understand it better in the chapter about Lucius of Rome because it alliterates so damn much O.o Must be a flow thing. So far, I've only read How Uther Pendragon begot the Noble Conqueror King Arthur, the Tale of Balin and Balan, the Wedding of King Arthur, Of Nenive and Morgan le Fay, the Noble Tale Betwixt King Arthur and Lucius the Emperor of Rome, and A Noble Tale of Sir Lancelot du Lac. About 120 pages in all. It's pretty amusing, especially the fact that utterly random things seem to happen.
