Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

ooooh, i want cool ranch doritos.

Not unless you're reading dirty poems in Latin.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

'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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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!

I will inform New Zealand. Because this will be new to them.
