More Pictures from the Rally

Stolen from some friends of mine on Facebook:

Restoring Sanity

Probably my favorite sign I've seen online from the rally this morning.

Danny Boy

A truly moving take on the classic Irish tune.



P.S. Turns out the Latin sentence I translated for a blog post yesterday was the one I had to translate on the test today! Bam.

Latin Insanity

While dutifully studying for my Latin test tomorrow, I realized I needed to make a blog post. Lacking any better ideas, I decided to make it about some of the absurd things those Ancient Romans did that I'm struggling with 2000 years later.

I Am Batman

(I failed to update my blog for yesterday! While I sit here contemplating my wrongs, have a funny picture)

My Professional Acting Debut

Pay close attention at 0:35, you can just kinda see me in the background.

Stephen Fry on Linguistic Pedants

Stephen Fry (aka Jeeves of Jeeves and Wooster fame) is one of those people whose voice is so pleasant to listen to that I could probably happily listen to him talk about anything; Morgan Freeman is another. Luckily, this excerpt from one of his podcasts (full version here) is actually quite fascinating, and I agree with him wholeheartedly. On top of that, someone has made an excellent video to go along with it, using a technique called Kinetic Typography if you want to be fancy, or "moving text" if you don't.
