So I am gathering unto me requirements for degrees from the University of Utah, so I can finally finish off my formal university education lo these long years since it first began (21). Secondaryily to Rubinga's degree which is fine, but in the mean time I am studying for the required classes.
Check it before I wreck it: Major in Comparitive Literature and Cultural Studies, emphasis on Language and Literature, Major in Classical Civilization with emphasis on Latin, and a minor in English.
I would be basically a classicist, like C.S. Lewis, more than a philologist, like J.R.R. Tolkien (the two were great friends), since to study philology at the U. is to study linguistics. But I do love to study word origins. They fall together in my head the way numbers fall together for my accountant mother. So would I, the philologist, stand a better chance at the Krell brain-booster, than my wife, the future Doctor? Please watch the movie Forbidden Planet for an explanation of the last sentence.

The Emperor is most displeased
. . . with my apparent lack of progress. I seem to be generating followers left and right, if not official, which is fine by me.
So next week I promise to have something posted that actually relates to a Star Destroyer project.

Non Star Destroyer Projects
Posting something so I can reward my numerous followers (2 is a numer). I know other peeps check in though so more than 2 is a bigger numer than 2. ANYWAY . . . .
no star destroyer work lately, but thanks to my recent time off (thanks, economy) I have been hard at work on some other model projects I have stashed away. Namely some World War II fighter planes. Mostly finished years ago, they were shelved for some reason or another. Anyway now they are getting close to being presentable, so as soon as they are done I will get some pics up, should be in the next couple of weeks or so.
