But I'll save one word for you

Well, that was a shock . . .


You're a Narrative writer!


What kind of writer are you?

This has been a good weekend. Friday morning and several hours this afternoon I spent with my good friend Peter Gould, one of the most incredible people ever to walk the face of the earth. Last night went toward the Met's production of Puccini's Turandot, where Krassimira Stoyanova as Liù blew the top of my head off (metaphorically; she wasn't quite that loud). And in defiance of Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazousai, thank you very much, I still like Euripides.

On to what you like. Since I have not yet figured out how to set up livejournal polls, is there something of which people would like to see more at this site? "Assyriology" and "Silly Quizzes" are perfectly acceptable answers . . .

I thought the connections between the riddles and the answers were no-brainers, but I think I would have been seriously tripped up by all the valid possible answers that come to mind, at least with the first two. I had an exam like that last semester, where the questions were multiple choice and even if you knew all the information the right answer wasn't obvious -- and you could have argued out all the alternatives lucidly in an essay, but you don't have the luxury of that, you need to give one short answer and hope you picked right. The idea that you can know enough and still get it wrong is pretty scary in and of itself. And I didn't even have a crowd surrounding me with bated breath and Turandot glaring at me.
