Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Yes, Trajan has a column and a forum.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think Trajan also is a font-- a sort of all caps, roman looking font.

Ooh, and an arch which is (apparently) no longer around.

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

Trajan's the shizznit!

If I only had a brain...

The lettering on the Trajan Column is one of the great achievements of humanity. Beautiful, beautiful work.

Punishingly Intricate

The one I saw looked like C-Span BC. Might have to watch another one.

Oh yeah it's gotten totally juicy and sad.

I can't even.

Rome is must-see tv for me right now. Rome, TDS and Soprano reruns are about all I tune in for at the moment, on purpose, that isn't european football.

It's pretty rough, with the murders, incest, betrayals, seduction/manipulations, heads on spikes, intrigue, and sympathetic characters circling the morality drain. Excellent stuff.

The Greeks are like soccer, and the Romans are like American football.

Bwah! Yes, though I'd have said that the Greeks are a bit more like rugby, while the Romans were cricket test-match. YClassicalSportsMetaphorsMV.

Septimus Severus! The only black emperor! If anyone was going to be the shizznit, it'd be him, I think.
