Happy belated pi-day. I managed to finish baking a batch of small berry pies and ate one just before midnight.

Also happy birthday Albo!
And as for you, Gaius, you should have listened to your Etruscan soothsayer. They always know best.

And I have to say, I really love 'soothsayer.'

I just got home from some much needed (or not) make-up shopping. I'd been meaning to look at benefit Coralista ever since my local counter got it in mid February. The lady at the counter was very friendly, but she almost made me look like a clown. No sane person would apply bright blushes under my so-called cheekbones, it looks ridiculous (and it's ( Read more... )

I only got three hours of sleep tonight, but my day has been quite normal. I even managed not to doze off in my Etruscan Ceramics class, and that's rather impressive, last week I manages to type 2 1/2 lines of periods and another of 'a's a bit later when I fell asleep for a mo.
But apparently the lack of sleep is catching up about now (so excuse my ( Read more... )

Finally finished with the 'oh noes, the evil dude totally treasonéd on us'-rhetoric Greek thingy.

I can has slash now? (and I can't believe I just used lolcat, it's worse than Yoda).

I'm not eloquent and everybody knows this. I'd rather write short, concise sentences than Caesarean abominations.

Sometime that really sucks and I envy those of you, who write for fun or profit. Usually when I'm writing a paper and I run out of things to say. Of course I could have chosen a different speech to summarise, but Deinarchos' speech ( Read more... )

I'm currently working on a short presentation about an inscription featuring a pantomimus. Yup, a freakin' mime. I'm going to look him up in the prosopographia in a moment, but due to several name changes (both because of being slave, then libertus, and just because) I get to look in the sections for Aelius, Aurelius, Agrippus and Apolaustus.

While I did finish cleaning my room before my deadline last Wednesday, I still have stuff to do. I usually do only basic sorting while a clean and end up with various boxes for crafting supplies, cosmetics, uni/paper/stationery, and other stuff. And then these boxes stand around waiting to be emptied... Amazingly I just tidied up my crafty/knitty/ ( Read more... )

Cleaning sucks. But at least I have a deadline to work towards (Wednesday at 12:30 pm), otherwise I would never have started. In fact (and I'm seriously shocked, dismayed and ashamed) I last properly cleaned my room almost a year ago, and it's really noticeable. The dust, the hidden stashes of mostly washed but endusted washendum clothing, lots of ( Read more... )

My nails are kinda purple-blue. I certainly didn't expect that to happen when I painted Alessandro's Pro White Hologram Lavender (you can see that one pure on the first amber-ring-pic) over dark purple. Not really my colour; I won't layer these again.
I have a bit of a hate-hate-rarely like relationship with my nails. The general shapes aren't ( Read more... )

I slept quite badly tonight and woke up even more often than usual. So getting up relatively early (at 7) wasn't so bad. Epigraphics was pretty good, though I'm not sure why the paper I have to write has to be 10 pages when I only have 20 minutes for the presentation ( Read more... )
