Today = complete wash-out; that's international code for hungover as fuck...i blame the alcohol. So i've sat in my room, bemoaning the head and stomach, whilst indulging in many cadbury flakes, simultaneously watching Pride and Prejudice on dvd.  Mr Darcy has just metaphorically slapped Caroline Bingley round the face with the "it has been many ( Read more... )

Four days til finals, and I am quite content in my lack of knowledge.

I think we should have a retro paper:

Caecilius est in horto. Caecilius laborat.
Canus in via latrat.
Coquus est in culina.

You get the picture.

As for the Greek:

χαιρε ω φιλε - that ought to be the extent of the translation side.

I'm not even going to start on P.I.E. and word formation ( Read more... )

Ah to be back on the pleasant green and pink pastures of LiveJournal - 'tis like I never left you

So far I've been told to get a copy of Isocrates's Helen and Plato's Phaedrus leading me to suspect that this year's Ancient Greek Literature course is aiming towards philosophy. Must certainly beat this year's obsession with fate and destiny in such works as the Iliad and Odyssey ( Read more... )

tra-la-la-bum-tee-ay etc...etc... as he drove his car through the Parisian streets perched atop his old banger...Georges was his name. Almost as good a character as Edgar the evil butler. I seem to have quite a thing for the bad guys of disney: Jafar, Scar, Edgar, Iago etc... something quite amusing in their futility *would include creulla de vil ( Read more... )

Having spent the last few days watching the entire first season of Queer as Folk USA [yes, I'm well aware I'm 3 seasons behind, but I also bought seasons 2 and 3 on dvd and am downloading 4 off kazaa now!] I finally arrived at the last episode. All I can say is *shiver ( Read more... )

...of having to keep an apostrophe on the clipboard and Ctrl+V every time I need one. Poor, poor laptop. Nasty, evil Ribena. "What's a boy to do?" I ask myself. Listen to copious amounts of trashy music starting with the soundtrack to "school of rock" - ok not trashy but I need to build up to trashy - I have the "Bridget Jones's Diary OST" in ( Read more... )

Just spilt ribena on laptop - I no longer have use of right shift key, the apostrophe/"at" key, left, right, up or down arrows, the end key, the right windows key and the equivalent of left mouse-click button. It is making typing very difficult - I am having to avoid words that contain apostrophes and am finding the loss of the down arrow very ( Read more... )

LOL - I thought the olympic opening ceremony was rather impressive - something about mythology - quite wonderous...eeek *le pant le pant* who was that guy running through the tape as the place and year of each olympics was announced - HOW CUTE? BUt I think my highlight was seeing Bjork dressed in yet another monstrosity - not quite as bad as swan ( Read more... )

I'm having a terrible day *sob sob* - I think I must have got out of the wrong side of bed or summat. I've been feeling tired, miserable and generally unwilling to do anything but vegetate all day ( Read more... )
