Could not take the Spenser essay any more (there is only so much one can say at a time about knighthood and deception and self-contradiction and pride and humility and the definition of nobility and obligation), so I took a break to clear my head. I ended up doing more background work on "The Summoner's Tale," mostly because Catherine fascinates me. I love her to pieces, but she's so messed up.
Anyway. Here's another snippet, which helps clarify some of her motives for trying to kick-start the end of the world as we know it... as much as one can ever clarify such a thing.
( Reckoning )
In other news, the downstairs entryway light and the second-floor landing light are both dead. I love my house (it's an 8-bedroom, rented out by room), but it's really a run-down piece of crap sometimes. And I think one of the toilets flooded yesterday. At any rate, the bathmat was suspiciously soaked and stinky, and left in a crumpled pile by the toilet. *sigh*
