I'm still learning Greek, which is cool. Not really literate yet, but it's getting better!

I plan on writing more about this at a later date, but I'm finding some interesting things. I'm learning more about what the Bible really says, although this is less a matter of issues with translation as it is actually reading parts of it for the first time. I look forward to being able to really sit down and read it. When people talk about an elegant mathematical formula or scientific theory, that's how a good Greek sentence feels to me.

I'm taking it easy this week. We had a kung fu seminar last weekend (Thursday-Saturday) on the luk dim poon kwan, Ving Tsun's equivalent of a staff. Problem is these things are about twice the diameter of the typical "bo" staff, and about 8-9 feet long. So they are heavy, which means a lot of conditioning is required. About 15 hours of that over three days is a lot, and I was feeling stairs through yesterday. So much fun!

Writing some more, and I have some vague ideas floating around in my head of things that I want to say. One day I plan on doing fiction too! I'm still trying to draw when I have a chance as well, but it's a lower priority than Greek and I just haven't had a chance to devote much time to it the last couple weeks.

On the more prosaic side, lots of playing Banished and let's plays on YouTube.
