So I'm writing this really awesome paper for one of my classes and it's reminding me how very much I love the ancient Egyptians. The paper's about what iconography the Virgin Mary took from Isis and when I started researching into it, there was much more than I thought. Even the vulture is seen as a Mary symbol, which I found interestingly odd. (something about how people used to believe their eggs were fertilized by the east wind. @_@)

My only problem on the paper is finding images large enough to use as examples. Why are all the suitable ones so tiny? Narg.

I love Egyptian art, their myths, the way they thought, everything. Okay, the whole incest thing was strange, but that didn't generally happen outside the royal family and even then it was only during times when they felt the need to establish their power more firmly. Pure blood and all that. But come on, a dung beetle for a sun god? How awesome is that?

(Yes, I'm strange. You like me that way.)

In other news, Katie's birthday was yesterday. I sang happy birthday to her. She told me not to lose my day job. ^^ Work is good, school is still a pain, but I'm getting through it. I signed up for classes this morning. Only two! I'm considering picking up another just for fun one, as I think it'll cost the same anyway (damn you UT!) but I'm not sure. The idea of only two classes has such a draw. ^^

That's all I got.
