'Jaynestown'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am clearly not a foodie, because until clicking I thought Barb was saying that Roaring Forties was a singing group.
Um, whoops? ::blushes:: I didn't realize-- figured the serving suggestions would imply that it was food, esp. given the cheesy tenor of the discussion.
Still... it's a really, really good blue cheese.
Well, I thought your post was just multi-tasking!
In high school, I translated swatches of Julius Caesar’s “The Battle for Gaul” from Latin to English while nibbling cheese crackers.
She means the pre-made, six-in-a-package, cracker with yellow in between cheese crackers, right?
Dow is up 936 points.
I guess they're happy that the governments are bailing out all the banks.
Yay?
We did not make the first possible earlier flight. In fact that flight may now have a mechanical, which doies not bode well for us making the second option. We are charging the computer in order to watch cartoons while waiting.
I just went to the Obama website to get some numbers to call, and they gave me 25! Too many, people! The last time I did this (Kerry? can't remember), they gave five at a time, and I often did more than one set of five, but 25???
Latin??? Seriously??? FAIL.
My mother loved Latin. When she did her education degree, she studied Latin too, despite opposition from the administration, on the grounds that it was being phased out of school curricula and she'd never use it. She had to go to another uni for that one course. (And when they checked her existing Latin abilities, they threw up their hands in horror at her accent and exclaimed "You went to a Catholic school, didn't you?")
I think she was really rather happy tha I did a year of Latin at Uni too.
I took two semesters of Latin in college, too. I had visions of going on for my PhD in medieval English lit, so I thought taking Latin for an elective was a good idea. After five years of Spanish, it was pretty easy, but I finally figured out that academia wasn't for me.
I took a couple of semesters of Latin in college, but I was awful at it. Russian was easier.
I had a serious craving for molasses cookies and then realized that all the ingredients were in the kitchen. The first batch just came out of the oven. Mmmmmmm.
In Maureen Dowd's defense (and I can't believe I said that), she was playing off a big article the NYT just did about the resurgence of latin in popularity in public schools.
Also, I vaguely tangentially know the guy who did the latin part of the article.
