2/11/11-Here's an idea: Instead of protesting Valentine's Day, why not just celebrate Lupercalia? Rampant frivolity, feasting and sacrifice makes for a fun weekend all across the board!
2/12/11-I have had a glimpse at sartorial nirvana: Walking down a street in London where everyone knew how to wear a suit so well that everyone I passed had taken a huge risk in choices that turned out to be amazing. Example: chocolate brown velvet, double breasted with a wide lapel with a delft print blue and white shirt and a yellow tie. Crazy? Maybe. But the fit was PERFECT.
2/14/11-I think Tonks just volunteered to be the sacrificial canine tonight. Prepare to meet Lupercus, you blasted dog!- Tonks thrashed the backyard and I was very angry. I still haven't finished cleaning it up.
2/15/11-I am totally blown away sometimes by how old civilization is and how Egyptian things were ancient even to other Egyptians. How freaking wild is it that we still know the Epic of Gilgamesh or that the pyramids are still there? How have we not gotten bored yet?
2/16/11-I am burnt out. I want to crawl into a hole with a good book, some epic films, and not see another biped for seven days.
2/17/11-Diana the virgin goddess is also a goddess of fertility. How does that work? Sounds like a thesis begging to be written to me. :D
2/18/11-You'd better feel guilty because at any moment you could get the beating of your life for something you've done, only you'll never know what.
2/19/11-Why does my homework always seem to follow historical patterns? This weekend it's Alexander. I must conquer a test on the Greeks today, ride through reviewing Mesopotamia to get to India where I have to read the Ramayana, and then back through Mesopotamia by Tuesday night. What took him months and years I will do in four days. Harrowing expedition indeed!
2/21/11-I realize that you can't stand being alone for five minutes, but can you not latch on to me of all people? I NEED to be alone, away from homo sapiens; especially those on the lower end of the evolutionary chain. Let me go on a walk by me onesy, PLEASE!!! My goodness, I thought I was clingy!
2/21/11-Deism and democracy be hanged. God exists, and he's not asking for a majority vote of approval, and you'll just have to live with that, won't you?
2/22/11-I am going to kill your boyfriend. I am going to KILL your BOYFRIEND!
2/22/11-AAAAAHHHHHSSYRIAAAAAHHHHHH!!! I drew a panda. WAHAHAHAHA!-I think I was driven mad by studying for midterms. After this I comment on the status and call John Lennon a Marxist hippie D-bag, and I mention my dog's habit of chewing on her own paws.
2/23/11-The cradle of civilization becomes its deathbed. But they don't call it the Fertile Crescent for nothing. Spring will come again, a new day will dawn, and the light of the 'Sun' will bring rebirth.
2/23/11-Well, I think that's enough empire smashing for the week. Assyria certainly has had their first syllable handed to them on a silver platter by yours truly. *cracks knuckles with self satisfaction*
2/24/11-I had a street bum tell me I was pretty. Considering the myriad of inappropriate things he could have said in his permanently drunken stupor, I'm extremely flattered that he deemed this compliment the best thing to say. As alcohol is a truth serum of sorts, I'm convinced that he was not being facetious and that letting this go to my head is allowable.
2/25/11-Instead of the usual 'What class is that for?', my coworker asked 'Where are you going today?' when she saw me pouring over my textbook. I smiled. 'Rome,' I responded. I guess I live the metaphor more than I thought
2/26/11-Family loyalties, ha. What family loyalties? I've just joined in on the war. I keep my ancestral name in memory of greater men, but from the rest of them I set myself apart. My wounds run red, my quarrel is with the white!
2/27/11-You may think you have power as the governor of a subterranean province, but you need to learn quickly that I'm no mere neighboring upstairs governor, I'm the blasted emperor. Under this roof my word is divine law, and I'm banishing your boyfriend. If you don't like it, I can install a new governor.
2/27/11-Funny enough, on the red carpet I'm all about the dresses. Why? Tuxedos are not suits. Duh.
2/28/11-Patriarchal blessing. It's about ruddy time.
3/1/11-I don't have enough dishes for me AND you AND your blasted boyfriend. I've been more than accommodating, the least you could bleeding do is wash the frakking china! You have hereby lost the privilege of benefiting from my generosity. So let it be written, so let it be done.
3/3/11-What do we do with broken or unwanted pottery around here? Chuck it out the window and pray it falls on a slave's head and not a citizen's. When in Rome... wear a hard hat.
3/3/11-Let's put it this way: I did so well on my midterm that it was as though I dragged Sauron out of his tower and threw him into the fires of Mount Doom along with his stupid ring, all before tea time. One DOES simply walk into Mordor.
3/4/11-Artemis: I am the first and the last. Apollo: I am the Son of God. Exploring the duality of the Olympian twins in fiction. Genius! Spring break can't come soon enough!
3/5/11-I don't like it when professors can't answer my questions, but I suppose I do like looking for answers myself too.
3/5/11-It's officially a bad situation. I fly into a panic and start frantically searching for a way out whenever I hear her coming in. I'm not safe in my own house. I don't like socializing.
3/7/11-How about, instead of going to school and working today, I stay home and watch Gladiator, eat some ramen, read some Tolkien, and sleep?
3/8/11-Yes, food is biodegradable (for the most part), but there is a difference between biodegradable and recyclable. If you'd like me to, I could probably whip up some necromancy and reanimate that chicken carcass you threw in the recycle bin and let it terrorize you for the rest of your life. THAT would be recycling!
3/9/11-Well, aren't the Romans having a laugh?
3/10/11-So Trixie doesn't know what cashews, pecans, and hazelnuts are........... and that's all I have to say about that.
3/11/11-Pirate cats make poor oracles. Then again oracles make even poorer oracles. What? Say that again? Oooooh I dunno, I think I've... cross? Boss? Moss? DAMN!-Watching 'The Last Unicorn'. Another 'drunk' status for me.
3/12/11-Mythological Mindset= Eternal Perspective, and I'm trusting my God to guide me through the torrential rains. When Thanatos comes knocking I can greet him with a smile because I know I'm ready for that last adventure. I'd like to say I'm excited for death without sounding morbid, but there's perhaps no way around that.
3/12/11-I have found THE bust. Apollo. Three dollars. Thank you DI!
3/13/11-Geez, Magen. You're such a Pharisee! (And don't I know it.)
3/13/11-Sometimes I wish everyone I knew was dead. And by that I mean that I only want to associate with the deceased. Er... I mean that I only want to hang out with expired pers-... you know what? Never mind.
