I was no great fan of the ending of The Dark Knight, but then I read this article, and now I'm not so sure ( Read more... )

So, within a week of my return to this fine nation, I had to have one of my organs removed (it was one of the ones you don't need). This has proved to be a painful and unpleasant experience, but now that I'm not in the hospital anymore, it's also incredibly boring. I have all this excess energy, both mental and physical, and nowhere to put it ( Read more... )

Like all geeks throughout the world this summer, a large portion of my mind has temporarily been taken over by The Dark Knight. I didn't even like it at first viewing, but it wormed its way into my brain. The movie came at an odd time; my interest in Batman and comics in general was at possibly an all time low. Add to that my general apathy towards ( Read more... )

You know, I never seem to post when I am actually doing something interesting with my life. I just got back from the UK (with a slight detour to Paris as well) last week. It was intense and wonderful. I saw five million paintings, lots of old buildings, God's own public transport system, Oxford!!!!, and a bunch of plays and shit. I drank my own ( Read more... )

David and I have been in the process of unfighting for the past few days. This morning, he sent me an e-mail saying that he saw a video the other day that perfectly expresses his feelings for me.

That video? "Iran So Far"

Consider us unbroken up.

I love it when I get my Classics news from the Yahoo! homepage. No really. I fucking love it. Apparently, someone found the "oldest" representation of Caesar (that's Gaius Julius, by the by, although the AP doesn't feel the need to clarify that for reasons known only to themselves). Older clearly means "more accurate", so I guess we can all settle ( Read more... )

Good Lord. What could be more distracting when one is trying to study for a final in a class on Roman urban life then fucking Gladiator being on TV? Honestly. What a cruel trick HBO is playing on me. Luckily I have all of tomorrow to study as well. If not, the only thing I would be able to recall would be inane details like "haha, the Romans never ( Read more... )

I just finished the best paper I have ever written. It may, in fact, be the best paper ever written in the history of my university's undergraduate classics program. My professor is going to burst into tears of hysterical joy when she reads it. She will regret that she decided to spend the next semester on maternity leave instead of mentoring me as ( Read more... )

My ticket for the New York Bad Seeds show is for the 200 level. Center stage, but still! No amount of emoticons can express my grief.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are TOURING AMERCIA!!!My plan at the moment is to the New York and Washington shows. Why he must eschew Philadelphia, I have no idea, but whatever. I am just glad that he is setting foot in this nation once more. There better be fucking General Admission at the WaMu theater, though ( Read more... )
