The Semantic Circuit
Dec. 30th, 2003 01:01 pmMore wacky Prometheus Rising thoughts.
This is the first chapter I didn't have to keep re-reading because I kept thinking, "huh?" No, this one I kept re-reading because I kept thinking, "yes!" I make a good living because I have achieved a level of proficiency with this stuff. And anyone who paid attention to discussions of the Will classes/trances knows how closely my magical work is related to language and the naming of things.
I'm going to stop here for a while again to devote some actual time to these exercises -- trying not to think I've "tested out" of anything. I can't wait for the one where I'm supposed to get racing on caffeine, then "...find a victim and explain the universe to him or her, until they are able to escape..." Sounds like fun!
Later, I will no doubt agonize over whether I'm stuck here...and cower before I read about the next circuit -- Socio-Sexual. Yeah, that'll afflict me for sure.
