Shitfucker. Mister Kitty's always had a wheeze, but now he is gagging when he eats tonight after a puking episode this morning (sometimes happen.) Not sure if it is related or not. Anyway. He's a 15+ year old cat, these things worry the fuck out of me. He'll eat treats, but still gags after, though has so far kept them down. He got a lot because with the insulin, he can't afford not eating. Damnit. Doesn't help that I was just reading about pet cremation options. NOT ANYTIME SOON GODDAMNIT.
msbelle, that's one option.
In high school, I translated swatches of Julius Caesar’s “The Battle for Gaul” from Latin to English while nibbling cheese crackers.
I took four years of Latin in high school and belonged to the Junior Classical League; I translated Catullus in my spare time while crunching on Cool Ranch Doritos and sipping a cold Mountain Dew, but only because it was
homework
and some of those poems were
dirty.
ooooh, i want cool ranch doritos.
ooooh, i want cool ranch doritos.
Not unless you're reading dirty poems in Latin.
I'm not insane for getting absolutely cheer-uped by Dr. Who, right? This show reminds me the stuff I like about life. Also, that I might need more of this life things.
Hell, my one consistent wish has always been (grammar?) a time machine.
(Yeah, and a better understanding of English grammar wouldn't hurt as well, but that's something I can improve on my own. Alternatively, I can't invent a time machine on my own).
Some
of Catullus is dirty? Try all! Very, very dirty. And scurrilous. Hec would love it.
'Has always been' is definitely advanced (and correct) English grammar!
Bonus points for correct use of parenthetical question.
Thanks, Theo!
Cool news of today: yes, one can print on pergament paper! And it turns out great. The booklet for the album-I-like-gift-for-friend is gonna be so beautiful. Yay black and white CC licence pictures of the Flickr's lazy search-shire.
Huh. Some bunch called the Legatum Institute has ranked Australia as the world's most prosperous country. [link] The US ranked equal 4th. At a rough guess, there's unlikely to be much statistical difference between the first 20 or so countries, but the important message to take away from this is that we beat New Zealand.
Which Dr. Who cheered you up? I was immensely cheered by "Partners In Crime" over the weekend. Fun times!
