0720: Harry and Me - Calypso 'Caly' Malcolm

[pottersues]

I was reading an article today about how memory disorders are portrayed in movies. The guy writing it said that most films are depressingly inaccurate. Out of nearly a hundred years worth of movies, he only found three that depicted a memory disorder with any accuracy. They were Memento, Sé Quién Eres, and Finding NemoI think I'm going to go watch

Let me explain, briefly, the difference between O and Oh.

O is the word used in the Star Spangled Banner: O say can you seeeeeeeeeee!
O is the word used when talking to people: O Great and Mighty Voldy, please don't kill me!
O is the name of a character in a pornographic novel, but we won't get into that....

Oh is an interjection. It has an h at the end. Oh well, oh no, oh I don't care, uh-oh.

GET IT STRAIGHT, YOU FRAKKIN' IDIOT!

O is the name of a god-awful modern adaptation of Othello..

I didn't want to know that.

I watched five minutes before changing the channel
"Let's put Othello in HIGH SCHOOL! Won't that be cool!?" ::twitches::

Hey, chrismactaggart... good to meet you. I was just wondering what's up with the massive number of posts from you over the last few days?

At first I thought everyone suddenly got this thing for blonde fairies, but then I was like, Wait... this is one person.

Not that there is anything wrong with blonde fairies!
I love blonde fairies!

it's called "Needs distraction from THESIS"
Snarking on Sues is a good distraction :)

and thanks :)
it's Halinor from the comic line W.I.T.C.H.

Though this is bringing back pleasant memories of Vergil...

O Meliboee! Deus nobis haec otia fecit:
Namque erit ille mihi semper deus, illius aram
saepe tener nostris ab ovilibus imbuet agnus
Ille meas errare boves, ut cernis, et ipsum
ludere, quae vellem, calamo permisit agresti

[undeadgoat]

Meliboee . . .

I must needs find that for some translation assignment, methinks, because of the all-=time coolness of that name. Even if you un-vocative it.

Erm . . . maybe I mean "put it in the nominative"?

[conuly]

*grins*

Translation into Latin, or from Latin?

[undeadgoat]

From. My friends all think I'm crazy for liking Vergil, see, so of course I obsessively translate the Aenied . . . But the secret to that one is that my teacher knows it well enough that I can just go up and ask a question and it'll be answered.

[conuly]

Tell the truth, I think you're crazy for liking Vergil too*. But my professor when I took it was an expert, so we didn't do much work - we just listened to him talk about it :)

*Caesar and Cicero, they're more my style.

[undeadgoat]

I've heard that Cicero is a "bitch with adjectives", but. I'm only in Latin 1, see, so all my upper-classmen friends are through Latin and they regale me with horror stories and things.

I /love/ Vergil o_o
We read the whole Aeneid last year in class.
But, don't you like Ovid even better? :o

[undeadgoat]

. . . Because I've never tried him? I'm in Latin 1, see, so I've only been exposed to Virgil in "go out there and find real Latin"-type projects, and not in class, see. In class it's still mostly kiddy-Latin.

[grey_bear]

Not O, but a letter or two away is M, and the book "The Sexual Life of Catherine M" or something along those lines. Its about a woman called Catherine (shock horror) and her sexual friskiness.

And its infinitely more interesting than this pish.

I was thinking about the infamous "Story of O"
