An assortment

[mbarrick]

Well, I paid for my stereo camera this morning, and it will be shipping by insured USPS. I can hardly wait until it shows up.

In a fit of massive geekery I bought this:



The Latin edition of Harry Potter. Honestly, could anything be geekier than that?

I took some Latin in university and always wished I had gone further with it, so this will be an exersize in stretching my brain. I've wanted this particular book for a while since finding anything between "canis in via sedet" basics and Pliny the Elder is that isn't painfully dry is pretty much impossible (although there is a translation of Winnie the Pooh out there, apparently).

And lastly, I am anxiously awaiting the approach of noon, which is 9:00 Tuesday morning in New Zealand, to see when my interview will be set up. It could be as early as tonight, but I expect it will be set up for a little later in the week.

Can you read Chinese? That's considerably more useful than Latin around here.

I've never spent much time studying Latin. Trying to remember noun genders has never been a strong ability of mine and is usually an early roadblock
