He also does a great NeroFelix was born in 50 AD—CE if preferred, though to me "79CE" just doesn't have the ring of "79AD," and I'm looking forward to using that one in the future, but where was I... ah, right—and he has just turned twenty. I provide this detail for any students of ancient history. Or, anyone with access to Wikipedia.


Annum horribilis. But first: a party


P.S. - Foreshortening is hard. I need to work on that.

I think you should write something with foreshortening.

I think I'll toddle off and draw some more... I'm back to doing that thing where I draw instead of paying attention to... well... life...

Like that joke Latin teachers always tell... there's a line somewhere in the Aeneid where students always scan it wrong by reading AE-ne-as instead of AE-NE-as and the teacher always waits for that moment to say, "Do you think Dido would have slept with Aeneas if he'd had a short penult?"

Hey! My Latin teacher never told that joke! I clearly went to the wrong school.

Mine told me *about* it, but I didn't get to experience it for myself. Not that I scanned perfectly, but just that I never got that line in class.

Are you online at the moment? I'm on Yahoo and AOL if you feel chatty.

Sorry to have missed you! I'll have to sign on to AIM more often and lurk in wait :)

I'm attempting to be on AIM right now, but I'm getting a bit overwhelmed by multitasking :)
