The Iliad on speed

You never heard Homer so... hyper. (Click on "hear sample".)
(They've posted the audio sample at the wrong speed. Just a little low-brow humor here.)

Typical Homer Quote.
Homer Simpson, that is! :-)

This audio sample looks just like his style of work.

Things I want to do before I die:

Read the Iliad.

Take ballet.

Write something real.

learn the harmonica.

Wear my cowboy hat down Main Street.

The Iliad is in my bookshelf.. I've read some of it, what I've read blows me away, the language.
(good translation!)

I start ballet next week.

I'm staring at this damn harmonica, I just gotta get up and play.

and wore the cowboy hat . . . . I wore it the other day while we were flying a kite, and it flew off my head into the bushes. I do love it though, it takes time to break in a new style.

Yo, you wore your cowboy hat down Main Street, and you're still not in da slammer? Ain't there a law against that?

Dang, woman, you're bold! :-)

I am bold, in my own way.
