It's 16th June

[swatkat]

Today is Bloomsday. Exactly a hundred years ago, on this day, Leopold Bloom set out on his epic journey through Dublin. A quote from Joyce himself:

The task I set myself in writing a book from eighteen different points of view and in as many styles, all apparently unknown or undiscovered by my fellow tradesmen, that and the nature of the legend chosen would be enough to upset anyone's mental balance.

In honour of the day, we shall now have a moment of "ohmygodhowcouldhedoit". (And, I'm also wearing blue and white, but that is sheer coincidence)

Germany-Holland was borrring. What's wrong with the Dutch? Sheesh.

And. I finally have Photoshop 6.0! *war dance* I still can't believe how amazing it is. I mean, the effects - the same effects look so different here than it does in PSP! Of course, this means I'll have to learn everything all over again. I'm fine with that. *g*

How did I miss that all these years? NPR devoted an entire segment this morning discussing the novel with lovely readings by some professor with a wonderful voice. I'm even tempted to go back and reread it..... nah. lol Too daunting a task. I have to admit to being assisted by Cliff Notes the first time around.

Ahhhh!

No wonder our copy of "Ulysses" suddenly took up residence on my kitchen table! LOL!
