Today was good for two reasons: 1) I got to do a pool workout, which helps to keep my joint pain under control. The weight of the pool water helps to squeeze out the fluid in my joints. And it will help me get fitter. 2) I finally got to start reading Milton's
Paradise Lost. Yes, I am aware of my English-Major geekiness right now, but I think that the composition of the work, its allegory, extended metaphors and intricate/poetic descriptions are beautiful. Plus, I find the whole "other side of the story" vibe, alluring and intriguing. You go through so many emotions. Lucifer is kind of like the Phantom from
Phantom of the Opera. At first you feel sorry for the dude, and then you realize just how far gone the dude is. His screwed up logic almost makes sense. Key word ALMOST! Satan's f*cked up crazy. lol.
