I've only taken one year of Latin in school, but I intend to pursue the subject on my own, and perhaps in college. My first year Latin teacher told us to ignore macrons, and after that absolutely nothing was said on the subject. I never paid any attention to them...should I have? I literally don't notice them now, and I have no idea when they should appear. I'm feeling like I should've paid attention from the beginning...then I'd have some idea of their use and application. So, are macrons important? Should I start figuring them out? Annnd, any tips? (There are some translation help requests below this post - I don't mean to bump them down.) |

I've recently started to practice my Latin outside of class and have taken up composing sentences. I started with a very short conversation, consisting of two lines of dialogue. In English, it'd sound best as: "If you walk out of this house, don't come back." "I won't want to come back." In Latin, I've got both of these lines as: "Si e hāc villā ambulas, noli redire," and "Redire nolebo," respectively. So, am I on the right track, or am I horribly, horribly wrong? I have to say that I'm mainly confused with the "e hāc villā" of the first sentence. Do I have that anywhere near right?

I'm a few weeks into my first Latin class, and I'm lost on this sentence: cena sumit aliquid de nocte etiam aestate Dinner also takes something from the night in summer? |

Did you pause today to remember those who fought and suffered or died in past wars or who are fighting and suffering right now? Just remember that we're not the only ones who miss loved ones oversees |

We are currently experiencing that dangerous period of civil instability, interfridgnum. Efforts are being made to ensure succession, and Uncle Freezer is serving as best he can as regent. If the dishwasher revolts and seizes the throne, or the washing machine goes anarchist and floods the bathroom in protest, don't say I didn't warn you. This post was made on dreamwidth.

Calendar page updated. November 10: L.A. Confidential; Fast, Cheap & Out of Control I'm starting to think that maybe I should somehow differentiate between those articles that turned out to be fairly serious essays (the Election article, f'rinstance) and those that are really perfunctory, like this one. |

I'm still here checking the posts a couple of times a week. Most of my writing is for books and artist statements. Trying to do some postcards and letters but not getting a whole lot out. I'm currently struggling to write a short series of how-to-draw essays to accompany little books of my notebook ink drawings. Actually, the writing part was pretty easy for the first one, as it's really just what I ramble about if folks ask me about my process. What is difficult is building the books into a printable form with the resources I have access too. I began by building the book on the blurb software, thinking I'd just put it online on demand. However, while blurb was fine for the portfolio book We will be rich for the rest of our lives, it does not feel suitable for a small black and white book. I would like to see the book printed in a very simplified format at first, either by myself at IPRC or Atelier Meridian or in collaboration with Publication Studios (or another friend who does some printing). Unfortunately, the blurb software doesn't allow my to convert the book to a pdf or print anything but a marked proof outside of the blurb website. I dont' have InDesign or Quark on my pc. I have Scibus, but it is clumsy and it crashes. I don't have working cd drive nor do i own a thumbdrive. I email the jpegs to myself and spent Saturday afternoon at the IPRC rebuilding the little book on InDesign only to see the disasterous picture file compressions when I printed out a rough. Bleh. So I am temporarily stuck on the project. It also struck me this morning that the jpegs i emailed to the Singer Gallery in Denver for an upcoming show may have arrived much smaller than I sent them. I hadn't thought about this danger for sometime and I feel awful - yet emailed jpegs coming from Denver to me have been fine, so perhaps my method of importing the ink drawing jpegs into InDesign from my email was faulty. I've been prepping canvasses, reading history books, and going on explorations out here on the penninsula. I've found plenty to work with and am planning the new paintings, some to show here in the spring and some to ship to Denver as I go. Afternoon Edit: Whaddaya know: thank you |
