Woot. Mumsie's back.

While that may sound a little sarcastic, it's quite true. She's been in San Francisco the whole weekend, and having one less person to take care of mayhem boy is a tough gig. Especially when the other one's not much better!
Anyway, it's all been pretty mellow lately. Sometimes it isn't, but I almost always am. Going to finish Le Morte d'Arthur soon. Interesting book. I'm on the "Tale of the Sangreal" right now, or, as is more frequently expressed, the Quest for the Holy Grail. Sooooo much symbolism. Bountiful Biblical allusions as well. One example is when Sir Percivale (supposedly a lifelong virgin) sleeps next to a lion. "The lion shall lie down with the lamb," anyone? It's also a bit striking that the Grail has origins so much older than the British conversion to Christianity. I mean, it'd be hard not to see that there's some Celtic magic hidden away in that little cup.
