This can’t be right.
*Take This Test!*
I was supposed to be a chocolate glazed donut. Or a Boston cream filled donut. I don’t even like jelly donuts.

Putting Clueless to Work
At least, it would be Indian Summer, were the sun out. It’s in the sixties, and the bit of rain we had earlier this morning has passed now. I can even fancy seeing a bit of blue sky to the west, but I’m not counting on anything. I stopped by the shipping store last night…
Tonight’s Menu
– Shrimp and cocktail sauce– Pizza (bought half-cooked from my favorite pizzeria to be cooked the rest of the way just before dinner)– Magner’s apple cider– Pumpkin pie– Chocolate pound cake No muss, no fuss, no mess, no stress. I’m thankful.
The Company Christmas “Dinner”
Today our company had it’s traditional Christmas dinner. They call it “dinner”, but it’s served at lunch, and you still only get the standard half an hour to bolt it down before you have to be on your way. Roast beef, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans with almonds and cheesecake for dessert. I detest…
Questions of Taste
I came home tonight a bit late. I’m going to a friend’s wedding in a few weeks, and I’ve panicked about the outfit I’ve picked out. I’m afraid it’s going to be way too formal. It’s a long off-white dress with a mandarin collar and short sleeves. I was going to pair it with a…

So much to catch up on. Dozens of diary update notifications I haven’t yet been able to respond to. And quite a few items to update myself as well. I’m feeling a tad overwhelmed at the moment. OK, for starters, I caught this one over at MoonriddenGirl’s page. I’ve pretty much sworn off quizzes, but…
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.

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?
