lyricus melicus

Music is your only friend - until the end.

lyricus -a -um [of the lyre, lyric]

"We now live in an age that Walter Ong calls “secondary orality” (a repetition of orality but with differences). Rhapsody may have ancient roots in magic, but rhapsodists are not pagans or primitives. They denote neither the fall of civilization nor some presumed loss of moral fiber. On the contrary, rhapsodists emerge whenever and wherever oral skills—primary or secondary—are valued."

I finally handed in my Electronic Writing major assignment. It was harder than I though. I'm sort of happy with it, sort of not. I also handed in my reading journal.
