Woohoo! Go me, with the being all productive 'n' stuff. As an aside, one of my tasks for today was "Start reading Paradise Lost" This is one of those things that I'm pretty sure I was supposed to read in school at some point but never did. I've given myself permission to take it slow, just a paragraph or so a day, so that I can really digest it / think about it / look up the references, instead of feeling like I'm being a slacker if I don't gulp the whole thing at a sitting...which is good, because it's not easy going. I'm enjoying it, but it took careful parsing to untangle the web of subordinate clauses so that I could figure out what the first sentence was saying. I'm looking forward to it.
