End of the Day - Latin - and Full Metal Alchemist

[sisabet]

Because Dorinda is a terrible influence (::hugs::) I've had the I-man ep "Insensate" on repeat since I walked in the door about 2 hours ago.

I am also helping The Boy with his Latin homework. This is really scary considering the only Latin I know has been learned from Pop Culture.

On the bright side, The Boy and I have been walking around the apartment going "Quid Pro Quo, Officer Starling. Now tell me about the lambs!" for like an hour now and it is still funny.

I told him when he finally finishes, I'll let him watch episode 6 of Full Metal Alchemist and this led to a very long discussion about how much episode 4 really and truly sucked. We have different reasons apparently for the dislike of this episode, mine is mainly disappointment at reinforcing of gender roles and identity that normally would not bother me, but I expect more from this show. His concerns center more around the fact that "It just *sucked*!"

But episode 5 was better. More Mustang. Apparently this is turning out to be a very good thing.

I am so tired and I have much vid I want to do and a very long and early meeting tomorrow. So tired. I just want to think my vid and it be finished. I think merryish was supposed to be working on developing that technology.

Ep 13 is the first of my favorite Mustang eps. Oh baby.

Episode 4 is an aberration. Ignore it.

MUUUAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Behold my evil!

And of course you're right, it was a safehouse that got blowed up, not Bobby's house. Bobby has an apartment. I can't think where my memory was at.

Perhaps I was stunned into amnesia after watching form-fitting-polo-shirt Bobby casually whipping up the best calzone ever?

Dorinda

P.S. Love Bobby's line after he lets himself in, "So I gotta *call* now?" Not in the slash stories, honey, you just keep right on letting yourself in.

Oh the "So I gotta *call* now?" was just soooo perfect. Just so. Oh man. And Bobby getting up with the gun and then it is just Darien he goes right back to the food and he stalks Darien and that is just accepted. Sigh.

And - They are not nice people, are they?

Tomorrow we watch... ::waves magical hand around:: OH! Den of Thieves!! Bobby goes to visit him in prison! With the HANDS!!!!!!

More pop-culture latin for "The Boy"

Semper ubi sub ubi. {It's a pun, btw. I;ll let the two of you have fun with the trans}

Futue te ipsum et caballum tuum. (fuck you and the horse you rode in on)

Morde manubrium meum (More or less it means "bite me")

Me transmitte sursum, Caledoni! (beam me up, scotty)

You realize of course, I am teaching him all of these tomorrow??

I really hope he doesn't get kicked outta school. Hee!

Carpe Diem!

It's a good excuse to get him to watch Dead Poets Society.

Also, my mother's family name, Lobsinger, has the motto "Illegitimus Non Carborundum". In 8th grade, I did a big project about the Lobsinger side and had the name and the motto in big letters up at the top. One of the teacher priests saw it and thought it was funny. It roughly translates as "Don't let the bastards get you down."

Oh, wait, there's a hillarious scene in Top Secret where a priest is reading off a list of everyday latin phrases in this ultra serious voice ...

I'm watching FMA, too, as it's showing on the Cartoon Network, and I think ep.4 is waiting for me. I'll be warned. As it is, I have to admit that I'm not quite getting the love others around my friendslist have evinced for it, but I'm willing to wait to be hooked...

Witch Hunter Robin, ototh. Love. So. Much.
