I went to the dentist for a check-up and a cleaning yesterday. I realized tonight while getting ready to floss that I find the hygienist to be attractive. Note: I do not regularly floss and my flossing just now wasn't very good, but that hygienist made a pretty convincing argument. I really like what she had done with her eyeliner. She easily made ( Read more... )

^I've been wanting to be able to use that as a title since I watched the new Psych episode on Thursday. ^_^ I also watched the new Misfits episode on Saturday. I also watched some more Arthur over the weekend. ^_^ slowly going through that series, teehee. (teehee because of the content of series and with whom I've been watching most of it and the ( Read more... )

So today I learned that Asch/Ginji (Tales of the Abyss) exists out there as a pairing. Somehow I had never thought of that before. (Probably 'cause I'm not a huge Asch fan ( Read more... )

The other day, I was doing my Latin homework and found something with interesting... implications? subtext? in my Latin dictionary. (Yes, dictionaries have subtext... IDK)

From The Bantam New College Latin and English Dictionary Third Edition by John C. Traupman, PH.D:

I just finished spending over a week in California yesterday. I was there for the NJCL Convention at UC Davis, but I also did some sightseeing with other students from my school district and some Indiana delegates in San Francisco before the convention. The best part of sightseeing had to have been going to Alcatraz. We had fun on the ferry ride ( Read more... )

Vergil's Aeneid, Book X line 481

I know I haven't read anywhere near all the lines of the Aeneid, but I still have to say that this is probably one of the most powerful lines in there. It's not all that striking out of context, so it might be hard to understand out of context. Still, when I read this ( Read more... )

Recently, in my Latin class (which usually consists of two people sitting in the hallway right outside the Latin room ^_^), we went over there part after the storm where Aeneas looks out over the sea to see if he can see any of his comrades lost at sea. (This is becoming more fun to type than I had expected.) Anyway, one of the guys he's looking ( Read more... )

It's actually slightly less than a week (:<), but that's not important. What is important is that I'm leaving to go to NJCL convention tomorrow morning, and I won't be returning until late morning or early afternoon on Saturday. Just in case, in the unlikely event that anyone was planning to try to contact me next week, don't... or at least don't ( Read more... )

And now I finally get around to it.

( Long post is looong... )

In an earlier entry, I wrote about a footrace that took place in book V of the Aeneid, in which Nisus tripped a guy so Euryalus could win the race. Good news! They're back in book IX, and they're still friends... or more...

( If I don't watch out, I'll start to contemplate writing fanfiction )
