New type of verb conjugation

These are my vocab for Monday. Not exactly flowchart material but I used my flowchart program anyway to make the pretty flashcard-looking blocks. I'm finding the "making of a graphic" method for learning Greek to be pretty effective. After a few blocks, I start copy/pasting from other blocks containing similar material, which I think helps me cement to connection between the different permutations of a word in my mind. I am an e-learner.

Misadventures

I decided to leave my vocabulary learning for the daily quiz until this morning. I've been waking up at 6:30 anyway so why not use that time to learn the words, rather than precious afternoon or evening hours, right? Wrong! For about 45 minutes of dream time, just before waking up, I dreamed that I did wake up and that I had slept in until 8:00, just 1 hour before class and 1/2 hour before chapel. So, I frantically searched for my text book to learn vocab but couldn't find it. And people didn't have the right textbooks with them so they couldn't lend theirs to me to learn from. Then, I would dream that that was just a dream and that I woke up from it but that it was still 8:00 and I still couldn't get my hands on a text book. Then I would dream that I woke up from that dream ... you get the idea. Stress dreaming about stress dreams. Argh.

Of course, all my tension could have been sympathetic tension because, while I was dreaming, Rob was stuck in a traffic jam in Chicago, missing his early flight to Denver for Kary's wedding. He made it in the end, though. I just got off the phone with him: he's in Denver now, waiting for Kary to pick him up at the airport. I had lots of people in class praying for him to get on another flight with no added expense or bother. Rob says that they offered him standby on the next flight, didn't even ask why he missed his flight. And, despite being informed that the standby flight was full, he got on with 5 minutes to spare. God rocks.

New charts for Greek

I got all my homework done at lunch but, despite having the right answers when we went over the material in small group this afternoon, I managed to not be able to explain how I got the answers I got. [sigh] That's when it's time to make a chart, check out the flow.

Dreamcatcher screenshot

From the hit game, Neverwinter Nights. In this series, the Dreamcatcher series by Adam Miller, Rob and I both ended up with our characters marrying our henchmen in a skillfully programmed wedding scene. Much anticipated by those who play for role play value, the characters actually "kiss" (i.e. their faces touch) once their vows are completed.

NWN funny screenshot

Moving files from one computer to the next is a great way to get back in touch with all your stored info. One of the pictures that I tripped over last week was one that I had been looking for but couldn't remember where I filed it. In the game Rob and I play (Neverwinter Nights), you can take a screenshot of whatever is happening in the game at any given time by hitting some key, usually 0 (zero). This is usually done to capture a great battle scene or action shot. I would take pictures for scenery value, do portraits of the characters Rob and I played together, with our henchmen. I would sometimes then edit them a little, for aesthetic or humor value. Here's one of my favorites. The redhead gal is one of my favorite characters, Tahni Vey. The redhead guy in the back is Rob's character, Jerrik Crevinn. The shot was taken during the Aielund series that we played last year. Tahni was stretching (unexpectedly) while I was taking the screenshot and the mouse was hovering on her, hence the stat report above her head. It just looks like she had awareness of it being there. An amusing fluke. I put the speech bubble in later to highlight her "reaction". You can see a bigger version of the picture by clicking on it.
