bedlamsbardAm five episodes into Rome S1 right now. Octavian is my favorite. Also Caesar and Atia; I just keep wondering what crazy shit she's going to pull next. And Pullo! I really want to like Vorenus, but it's not quite working. I do feel really sorry for his wife; she's trying so hard. And I am curious about Octavia; I feel that she has hidden depths.
(I know so little about Roman history that most of this is new territory for me, sadly. No, I haven't even read the Shakespeare. I really need to take a Roman history class; I have a pretty strong grasp on Rome past about 300 or so, about when it turns into the Byzantine Empire, but most of my background is ancient and classical Greece.)
In conclusion: still hate people. Taking Japanese makes all other foreign languages seem easy because you don't have to learn three new alphabets. (Quote from Latin: "Why did they even bother inventing English? All the words are the same!" Not my quote; Latin full of vocal majors and pre-med people.) Geology is so boring I may weep. (Seriously, a memo to the rest of the class, I really really hope plate tectonics isn't new to you, because I think I'm on go-round number four or five.) Tomorrow I have a lab, also likely to make me weep; please to not be going for the full three hours, yes? On the bright side, Friday I only have Latin, not geology. Desperately want to bake cupcakes.
