Tempus

Man, I kinda wish my school did that version of AP Latin instead of Vergil. Why? Vergil has a habit of ignoring the rules of the language when it suits him. Then again, I doubt that my favorite Catullus Poem would have been part of the curriculum. (Poem 16 FTW)

the song is by Jet. Unless they did a cover. still, that's the version I've heard.

Well, that would depend on the color of the elephant, wouldn't it? Also, that note reminds me of something I saw once. It was a pin that you could clip on your shirt, with a quote from one of Shakespeare's comedies, "The Winter's Tale". "Exit stage left, pursued by a bear." Why can't they use that one in English class?

I'd suggest using "It's A Small World After All", but that's probably a violation of the Geneva Conventions.

Great Googly-Moogly indeed. I can't stand bees, wasps, or an of the yellow-black stinging monstrosities. I think I actually have a mid-level phobia. And it doesn't help that my parents always wanted to eat outside this summer. "It's nice out, why don't we eat outside?" And we'd usually have meat, which wasps seem to be attracted to. Still, at least those weren't the Japanese Giant Hornets. Three inches long, and they spray FLESH-MELTING ACID! Nature just likes to screw with us.

Sorry, Hewkii, gemstones don't count, otherwise the yellow would be OK. 2009's sets are made, not of plastic, but of WIN. Win that has been melted down and made to look like lego pieces, but still win.

That would be an awesome tattoo. If I ever got one, then I'd go with one of the Salvador Dali melting clocks. That way, when I got older, the clock would just get more melty. Lateralus is an awesome album, but I've checked, and it's not an actual Latin word.

Weird, my AP Latin class only has 4 people too. Is that including the oft mentioned Dr. Jones, because if that's the case, then I have V I don't know any scandalous Greek words, but I have a book full of Latin phrases, including every possible grammatical form of... Y'know what, I'm not even going to use a euphemism here. Not only am I throughly biased against them, thanks to reading all three of George Carlin's books and listening to several of his albums, but I can't think of one that doesn't have a possibility of getting me in trouble. There are some appropriate ones, such as; Parentes mei dimidium Europae despolia verunt. Ego tamen nil accepi praeter hanc tuniculam misellam.

Catullus and Horace...eh, I got Vergil. And may I say...By the beard of Zeus, the Aeneid is hard to translate. especially when you have to do it completely literally. You lucked out with the whole drawing thing. My school's so big, that there was no way for me to take the art classes I wanted. (Painting 1 first semester, Painting 2 second semester.) And by big, I mean about 4,000 students big. My school is bigger than some colleges. What's it like learning Greek, by the way? There's a college I found that offers greek, and its one I really would like to go to. Wait a sec, you have nine periods? What time do you start school in the mornings, and how long is each one? Then again, the seven minute passing periods needed to get from one end of school to the other might explain why I only have 8.

DVDs... From my collection, I'd have to take Dr. Who, series 1-3, Pulp Fiction, The Shining, The Wall, The Song Remains The Same, Batman Begins, Snakes on a Plane, My George Carlin DVDs, all of Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse movies, Life of Brian, Holy Grail, Princess Bride, Pick of Destiny...and thats about it. But that's just me. Have fun at college.

Palmer Eldritch...Oh, right! Philip K. Dick FTW! Yeah, my spellcheck does stuff like that too. Its the most annoying when I'm writing dialogue, since people don't always have perfect grammar when they speak.

I'm pretty sure I drove past that Star Wars store when i was on vacation up in Portland and Seattle. In fact, I know I did. ...Small world. I cannot believe that place had one of the original Millenium Falcon sets. I wanted to go in there, but nooo, m parents didn't want to stop. And the Minifig pack And is it just me, or does one of the Rubber band guns, the one at the top of the first picture, look vaguely Halo-ish? As a slightly random side note, if I didn't have such horrendous allergies, then I'd totally live up in Portland.

Sounds like Takadox, in my opinion.

Yeah, that's where easter comes from. Christianity used a lot of pre-existing pagan holidays for theirs. Also, the Easter Bunny comes for an old germanic (I think) folktale about a rabbit that flies and lays eggs. that explains everything.

Wha?...The dude in the third picture looks like Dave Mathews. Is that him, or am I just kinda crazy?

Discworld is good. So far, I've only read Going Postal, Monstrous Regiment, and Jingo. What I really like is American Gods, by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman. Also, I would reccomend H.P. Lovecraft. Sure, it might warp your mind, but so what? I've read most of his stuff, and I'm sane. Now if I could just get out of this padded room...

Listen everyone, I don't see what the big deal is. If you dislike the set designs so much, go and det a job at Lego or something. I'll admit that the sets in ,07, other than the Barraki, are rather dissapointing. So what. You can't change things by whining. Since pictures of the rest of 2007 surfaced, complaining is all I've heard. Just concentrate on the good stuff. And besides, Brutaka had some of the same design gaps you complain about. He was still a good set, right? Or was that just because he had a bunch of gold pieces? That's the reason? You won't complain if a set has nice, new colored pieces? Sheesh...

Dude, I pity you for having that stuck in your head. I lucked out, since the song stuck in my head this week has been 'Voodoo', by Godsmack. Seriously, that is one of the worst songs to have stuck in your head. Besides 'It's A Small World After All". *shudders* uuuh...no. No way. that honor goes to 'Layla'. Rock on dude. I apologize to any whose taste in music I may have insulted.

It depends on things. But what this entry makes me think of is the paradox of time travel. If you use time travel to go into the past and stop an event from happening, let's just say Jimi Hendrix's death, then in the future you would not need to go back in time and stop Hendrix from dying. Thderefore, the futre would probably end up beng ruled by a bunch of monkeys or superintelligent ameobas. Moral of the story: dont mess with the space-time continuum. Which sucks, because if that paradox wasn't a problem, I'd totally go back in time and stop all the dead rock stars from dying. But, to get back on topic, things never work the same way twice. EVER. When time is rewound, whatever happened before will have been undone, so that gives everyting free reign to occur differently. Tempus Frangit (Time Breaks)

You definitely got more Lego Bricks than I did. All i got were the four '07 small sets. Wait...Over The Hills And Far Away...Nightwish stole the name of a Led-Zeppelin Song! nevermind. Umbra does look like little more than spare-part fodder in my opinion. And really, Umbra, Umbrae is a feminine/neuter noun. Shouldn't be used for a male character's name. Eldest, eh. If you've read Eragon, Do Not See The Movie. Too short, and really innacurate to the book. Durza's still creepy, though. The Witches' Day Planner? Sounds interesting. What's it about? I ask because I go through books really fast, and I'm always looking foor new stuff to read. And yes, Brutaka is excellentius. That's all I have to say

I dunno. Bill Nighy doesn't sound quite right. But then again, I've only seen him in Dead Man's Chest. Perhaps Chistopher Lee as Takatu. And Christopher Walken as Schattenu. Or Jack Nicholson as Takatu. I shall think about this. And who would be good voice actors for my own characters.

Sounds good. Out of curiosity, when was this book written, because the description of the villan sounds a lot like The Crimson King, from The Dark Tower series, by Stephen King. The bringing together of many different people sort of reminds me of The Stand... I have Got to stop reading so much Stephen King. Gotta get back to good old fashioned Dune, H.P. Lovecraft, and Tolkein. You have convinced me to check the library for this book when I get the chance. The book has a great opening line. Almost as good as Snoopy's "It was a dark and stormy night." And I have a strong stomach. I have to, since both my parents are doctors. If you've ever been to a dinner party with a lot of doctors who are talikng about their jobs, you need a strong stomach... That't all I've got.

Whoa...This is one of those things where the solution is right in front of your face, but you don't see it. Sounds very plausible, considering the BoM's penchant for intimidation, blackmail, and general threats. But there is another possibilty; the BoM and Makuta specifically, could want to end the universe, and reshape it according to their whims, or perhaps simply rule over the chaos and darkness that follows. I only think that because I've been reading The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, and the primary villan, The Crimson King, has a similar plan. You never know.

Ahhh, yes, the weekend is truly a glorious thing. Those days when I can just relax in front of my computer, and whatch the episodes of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Even so, This week was relaxing. Only a math test, which was easy. I did get to miss some of english class, due to Latin. My Latin teacher, Mr. J, managed to get a British historian to talk to us about Julius Caesar, and the Punic Wars. The guy's name was Adrian Goldsworthy. He actually told the students who were listening an amusing anecdote about Julius Caesar. The whole thing about him saying "Et tu, Brute?" was probable untrue. Supposedly, when the assasins assaulted Caesar, Julius used one of those extremely sharp senatorial pens to stab them. at one point Caesar supposedly said, "*blank* you Casca! What the *blank* *blank* do you think you are doing?!" Supposedly. Still, that is a lot funnier than "And You, Brutus?" And I give a thumbs up to you for the Mythology reference.

Dude, I am insulted by referring to Latin as dead. Latin Language: I'm not dead yet! Case in point. Yep, the whole Lucifer/Venus thing is a little strange. I don't recall him ever actually mentioned in a myth, and I've read a lot of myths. Whoa, kinda weird that my class just did a set of notes on Fero, Ferre, Tuli, Latum-To Bring, today in class. Vale
