Only his hairdresser knows for sure.
I did a nice long entry yesterday. It was mostly devoted to how much I felt like I was at loose ends. I believe I may have mentioned something in there about straightening up around the place, going out for breakfast, renting a couple of more videos, and spending time but not money at Wal-Mart….
Jade: The Kitten from Hell
is still most assuredly a kitten. This was taken two weekends ago, when the Professor had just brought home his new Cuisinart. The cats were rough-housing in the debris of boxes and packing while he read the manual and tried to fit the parts together. KfH has definitely grown. A lot. But she’s still under…
LOL at Alimom.
I’m a Philly girl, Ali! I know what a hoagie is. I’m still curious what a hoogie is though!
Salamander VMD, CPhT
Well, if nothing else, I’m at least accumulating a string of letters after my name. I’ve applied for my first job as a CPhT today. It’s at a pharmaceutical service that supplies long term nursing care facilities, which need completely different packaging than home health care or hospitals. They want experience, but I think I…
Oh, grumble …
Just found out that my department is hiring someone. She starts in two weeks. She’ll be filling a new position that didn’t exist before she was hired. I am to be numbered among her other responsibilities. This means that I will no longer report directly to the big boss, but to her. That isn’t necessarily…
Look out AVMA – here I come.
I’m off to the American Veterinary Medical Association convention.[I’ve a sneaking suspicion I’ll be checking in before I get back. They usually have a computer lab set up at these things.] Fury22: Thanks, but you didn’t need to. I really would still have looked in once I’d gotten home. You’ve become part of the regular…
I hope those know-it-alls don’t make learning latin even less fun :o)~
And if I don’t actually see a car, then it can be anything I want it to be.
Remind the know-it-alls that the Latin language, and its pronunciation, evolved, so there is no one "proper" method. Furthermore, while we have some ideas how it was spoken in the Classical period, we have no definitive answers. All any of us can do is adopt the best guess. As the good folks at UPenn say, "The so-called Roman Pronunciation of Latin aims to represent approximately the pronunciation of classical times." If you want to see how they do it, try http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/jod/AG/allgre.8.html.
I think I’d have rather had your teacher than the first one I had, a Jesuit whose only goal seemed to be to make his students cry. He was a humiliation-teaches-best kind of guy. 😛 Not that singing mnemonic songs isn’t humiliating. Hmmm. Maybe they’d both suck.
Hope class gets better. 🙂
your latin class sounds like a scene out of waiting for guffman. lol.
and, as luck would have it…slithers behind nearest large tree branch…the boy and i bought two wicker papasans last night. sadly, when we got them to the apartment, we found that they’d given us the wrong cushion for mine. now we have to go all the way back and get the right one.
The egg is cracking!!!!!!

Doggone you Sal!
More tests?
It sounds like class is fun.
The couple sound obnoxious and rude.
You’ve still got me singing

re the mirror project site: it’s absolutely fascinating seeing all the different and unique ways people have taken self-portraits
if you’d like to submit your own one, they pretty much accept all submissions so long as they fit within size requirement

Vini vidi vici. Or something.
Both dogs are doing alright… Hooray!! What a nasty week we had last week but now everything seems better. I think the Dachshund had some problems with her anal glands yesterday (she’s been to vet because of them before), but my mum emptied them. It seemed painful for her, though. I’m thinking they didn’t empty themselves last week because she didn’t poop. LOL I know, a bit too much info.
And dammit, I took the past life test too! AND the doughnut test!
There is always "one" in any class, you are lucky, you have two know-it-alls in your Latin class (which sounds like it is going to be hard!). Feel sorry for the teacher having students that undermine him behind his back.

Nya nya, I’m a glazed doughnut and you’re just a jelly doughnut! Bwahaa!

The whizbang people hit my website 515 times this week!! Good lord!!!
LOL!
It’s good to know I’m appreciated =)
Those tests are dangerous…I know!
Do you think you could translate something for me into latin if I asked really nice like?
I thought you already knew what you were in a past life, or are sherpas not interesting enough for you?
