So I was sitting in my TA class which teaches the classic texts (such as Homer, for those who aren't familiar with it), and the teacher mentioned Nemesis. Of course the first thing I though was "OMG Resident Evil!"
Nemesis is the Greek goddess of indignation against, and retribution for, evil deeds and undeserved good fortune. She was a personification of the resentment aroused in men by those who committed crimes with apparent impunity, or who had inordinate good fortune. (picture shows Nemesis, left, pointing with a dissaproving finger as Helene is persuaded by Aphrodite to elope with Paris. Tykhe, her sister, is presumably here a dispensor of ill-fortune.)
Nemesis first appears in Resident Evil 3 as the game's title character and primary antagonist. The product of years of research, and named after the "Goddess of Vengeance", the prototype is deployed by the Umbrella Corporation to hunt and kill all surviving members of S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics And Rescue Squad) as a field test and as revenge for the destruction of the original Tyrant.
My favorite hobby is letting my mind wander. I also tend to spend hours of time on my laptop, because it helps my thought process. I like researching random topics.
Most of my inspiration comes from my classes. There are a lot of things that I think people would find interesting to know, and if I'm going to write essays in my free time, then dammit I want people to read them.
So, in no particular order, here are some things that I know I will eventually "blog" about, and if I don't list them then I will eventually forget about them:
(warning: most of these will be based on my obsession with mythology.)
1) Nemesis: Greek mythology vs. Resident Evil
2) Friends: Social Maturity in Collage
3) How Disney screwed up the story of Hercules (with an extra reference to God of War)
4) Ebola vs. Resident Evil
5) Shared myths between Japan and Greece
6) My Epiphany with Grammar (possible Jabberwocky reference)
more to come, if I can remember
