He's lucky to live close enough to go to it. Underwater restaurant. That is terrific. I like the design and colours they chose. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorn Wilde Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Morning, all! I went to bed early and forgot to say goodnight. Took a while to fall asleep because of my cough, but I still got up at 10:30 today. Woot! Hope you all have a nice Thursday. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikiesboy Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 hamartia noun | hah-mahr-TEE-uh Definition : a flaw in character that brings about the downfall of the hero of a tragedy : tragic flaw Hamartia arose from the Greek verb hamartanein, meaning "to miss the mark" or "to err." Aristotle introduced the term in the Poetics to describe the error of judgment which ultimately brings about the tragic hero's downfall. As you can imagine, the word is most often found in literary criticism. However, media writers occasionally employ the word when discussing the unexplainable misfortune or missteps of celebrities regarded as immortal gods and goddesses before being felled by their own shortcomings. For example, a writer for The New Republic in an April 2018 review of Chappaquiddick (a movie about U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy) comments that "Kennedy's ruthlessness and ambition, which are treated as the family's hamartia in Chappaquiddick, are swept under the rug of his compassion." I do not believe i have ever seen or heard this word before. i like that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorn Wilde Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I feel like I ought to go for a walk today. It's 9°C, virtually no wind, and sunny. Gonna top at 11°C around 4 this afternoon. That's the time to take a stroll around the lake, I think. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorn Wilde Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hey, everyone. Paul and I went for a walk down by the lake. It was really nice. We were gonna have veggie burgers for dinner, but I've decided I'd rather have pasta, so we'll do the burgers some other day. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorn Wilde Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 This weird thing is happening again, where I'm starting to feel sleepy at a reasonable hour. Thinking it's time to put the laptop away and begin contemplating bed. Goodnight, DiC! Hope you've all had a great day! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Gray Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Husband when he came home. "Work thinks I'm weird!" Me, at my computer writing. "Work knows you're weird." Apparently, that's not supportive. Edited March 22, 2019 by Wayne Gray 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
