Nihil nisi bonum.

or something like that. I don't know a lot of latin phrases with the word good in it.

But glad you had a good time. :)
and this icon made me think of you. Though i dunno if you've seen pulp fiction to get it....

I've seen that icon! And I totally heart it! I should look up who made it and ask if I could use it. And thanks for thinking of me! :D

Wow! Glad to see you posting again. By the way, I have your Apples to Apples game. It was still in the apartment when I moved out, and I figured you'd probably like it back. :-P

Yeah, I'd completely forgotten about that--can you think of a time I could pick it up from ya? :D

Latin Camp? Do you mean GLA?

Otherwise... why didn't you tell meeee???

Sorry! I really should've told you. Because it's amazing. There is a conventiculum that happens every summer, late July, in Lexington, KY. It's run by Terence Tunberg (if the name's familiar, that's b/c it's the guy who translated Dr. Seuss books into Latin), and is basically a 9-10-day-long almost total-immersion program in which you improve your spoken Latin, learn new vocabulary, discuss ancient works of literature, have singalongs, and direct/act in small plays--all done in Latin! We at W&M have connections, too--Dr. Jones is a friend of Dr. Tunberg's ( ... )

Oh and walrus is 'odobenus.'

I had to look that up for my Beale-crazed students.

Sweet! I'm sending that info to a couple of my friends, since we'd been wondering about that.

Odobenum numquam audivi, sed nonnumquam me esse phocam canere soleo. Exstat etiam vox mediaevalis, ut videtur, "rosmarus."

Olim, classem de scriptis Linaeibus B sequens, in tabula publica scripsi:E-MI PO-KA
E-MI O-WA-TO-RO-QO
KU-KU-KA-TI-JU
Magister intravit, inspexit, et paene ad insianiam denique coactus est, quod interpretare non valeret. Breviter exivi, et revetens eum exeuntem vidi, qui me praeteriens "Cucu," inquit, "Catchu."

Obiter te saluto! Ut videtur mente non mentula cogitandum esse non a me ipso sed ab Alberto audiisti, sed sine dubio adagium a me sumpsit ille ;)

Valeas.
