In Memory of Archie G.
Beloved Father and Husband.
I will always regret not listening to Ghost with him more. We didn’t have much in common but music was the thing we often shared.
This drawing is late. He passed in June 2023 but it’s been to hard to draw something that makes me think of him.. then at the same time I really wanted to. I didn’t want the drawing to be sad but something HE would’ve thought was cool and I would’ve been happy to show him (didn’t always show my family my art but this, I might’ve been like “Hey dad, what do you think?”)
Love you Dad.

Ea est potens ignis flectrix nomine Pelia quae mente sua displosiones creare potest.
Ego ipse olim, contra opinionem, quemdam virum cui similis facultas erat conduxi ut Avataram interficeret.
Id non bene successit.
Noli te male habere. Nuptiis meis perditis, Corram interficere conata sum.
Res huius modi eveniunt.
She’s a powerful firebender named P’Li who can create explosions with her mind.
Ironically, I hired a guy with a similar ability to kill the Avatar myself once.
Didn’t work.
Don’t feel bad. I tried to kill Korra after she ruined my wedding.
It happens.
(Fons Imaginis.)

University starts again for me today. I really have a lot to do because the final exams are in a month.
So there's nothing better than going to the library after my seminars and studying while it's raining heavily outside.

Winnie Ille Pu
Who the heck translated Winnie the Pooh into Latin. Why would you ever do that.
(It is a rhetorical question: I am aware of the translator on the cover.)
I found another Pooh book in Latin!

writing monstrosities in my diary but it's okay because it's in latin and I'm using a glitter gel pen

You wandering and winsome little soul,
The body's guest and its companion too,
Into what places now will you depart?
You pale and stiff and naked little thing,
You won't make jokes the way you're wont to do.
Animula vagula blandula
Hospes comesque corporis
Quae nunc abibis in loca?
Pallidula rigida nudula
Nec ut soles dabis iocos.
--The dying poem of the Roman emperor Hadrian, cited in the "Vita Hadriani" of the Historia Augusta

I’m so tired of people discussing what’s the greatest truth Donna Tartt wrote in The Secret History when it’s obviously this one
“You want to know what Classics are?" said a drunk Dean of Admissions to me at a faculty party a couple of years ago. "I'll tell you what Classics are. Wars and homos.”
