Festina lente
My favorite Latin adage (of 2): make haste slowly
The answer to last week: 1. Gerri 2. Tom 3. Ugh, Roman
Ides of March tomorrow! Usually on the 13th of the month, comes the 15th on March, May, July, and October. Please. Please please. Please someone play this I, Claudius drinking game with me. Lots of wine! You also get to eat a fig and a poisoned* mushroom! You get to scream “NOT MY HEAD” You get to see a young Patrick Stewart, (though he kind of always looks the same age to me)! Please, nerds. It’ll be great. We can wear togas! Zoom togas! Think about it.
*Actually poisoned? Your call.
Thanks to Jill for this! Sound advice for us all.
It reminds me of this one time I did karaoke with a friend and a handful of her coworkers while their company was restructuring, meaning flattening out management tiers, meaning unpredictable layoffs. What an experience, all these fireds and possibly pre-fireds singing Take This Job and Shove It and Time of Your Life (Good Riddance) and CeeLo with abandon like you’ve never seen.

I feel so seeeeeen
“Guess I’ll put this scroll in the scroll/potion/grenade jar!”
Why did this get recommended to me? I feel so flattered, YouTube algorithm (but potentially insulted) But mostly delighted. Fuck er up, Daphne.
Not trying to make anyone jealous, but here’s a picture I took of one of the few Roman-built walls in York (315 AD) that weren’t demolished by the Danes (867 AD). Did I cross the rope to touch it yes I did.
MKK: she sent this—congrats, parents!
K that’s a wrap. If your friends stab you tomorrow it means you’re very important, which is a nice thing to know.

I used to catch bits of “I, Claudius” on Bravo and the only thing I remember it for (besides young Patrick Stewart who does basically look the same) is being the only other time I’ve seen Magenta from “Rocky Horror” in anything. I still think it’s weird that she exists anywhere outside of that role, like teachers outside of school. They just live there, right?
