All The Time.

Yeah. I do this all the time and thought it was pretty appropriate to post. I was like that when I saw him in the Star Trek commercial on the Catching Fire DVD.

Hehe.

Stuff...and Cats.

Ginger and Fili have decided to play a game of chase. I just hope they don't end up going into my room and messing it up. Then again...I don't think it could get any messier. *sigh* I have to do la-la-laaundry. Oh. And now the cat climbed up that chair and then launched himself off of it. I hope he doesn't hurt himself.

Anyway, today I got a new poster. I haven't actually seen Iron Man 3, but I wanted an Iron Man poster. And that was the one I could find at the store. Still haven't gotten my Loki one yet. *sadface* But I am going to get that one off of Ebay at some point. Hopefully before the year is up. (Fili just launched himself off the spinning chair onto my brothers top-bunk and then threw his body off of the bed. And Bilbo decided to join in.)

I had said goodbye to Merida and put up my Iron Man poster. YAY.

Before:

And after:

You will also notice that the wall has changed colors! We painted our room this summer. (The paint spots on the ceiling tell that we did it ourselves without Dad's help.) My Akatsuki robe is in the first picture too. I like that robe. :D AND it is kind of cool how the blue/heart/thing looks like its glowing! How sweet is that?

(We had a Tornado watch yesterday and the internet went out. So I am finishing this post up today.)

And now I really can't remember what I was going to post last night. I stayed up until they cleared the warning. So I was up until 12am.

The 50th Doctor Who Anniversary special is (if I am correct) coming on Saturday. Except, our cable doesn't have BBC America and the nearest Cinema that is playing it is in Philadelphia...and I doubt Mom would want to drive Margaret and I six hours to go see something she is not even into. But then...

...

We shall be waiting until it is on DVD.

On a much less depressing note, MOM BOUGHT NUTELLA TODAY!!!

I have never had Nutella, but Margaret is making a Nutella pie for Thanksgiving...I can't wait to taste it. The Internet makes it seem like it is the equivalent of eating a rainbow, puking up unicorns, then eating those unicorns and then having those taste like babies, happiness and more happiness.

Yeah.

But even though I have never had it, this is what I felt like:

I babysat and cleaned all day so I am tired.

I am going to finish up on the computer and go watch Once Upon a Time.

UGH ANOTHER FANDOM!

Sic semper tyrannis.

 I came up with "Sic semper tyrannis" as the post's name because it has been stuck in my mind since last Thursday.

Here is something from Wikipedia for those who are not familiar with the term:

Sic semper tyrannis is a Latin phrase meaning "thus always to tyrants." The full quotation, Sic semper evello mortem Tyrannis(literally : "Thus always I eradicate tyrants' lives"), or "death to tyrants" or "down with the tyrant." The phrase is often said to have originated with Marcus Junius Brutus during the assassination of Julius Caesar, but according to Plutarch, Brutus either did not have a chance to say anything, or if he did, no one heard what was said:"Caesar thus done to death, the senators, although Brutus came forward as if to say something about what had been done, would not wait to hear him, but burst out of doors and fled, thus filling the people with confusion and helpless fear..."[1] 

The phrase has been invoked historically in Europe and other parts of the world as an epithet or rallying cry against abuse of power. It is the official motto of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the city of Allentown, Pennsylvania. In the United States it is best known as the words John Wilkes Booth said that he shouted during his assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.

Now, I had originally thought that it meant, "Long live the tyrants." But now that I think about it, that thought it basically the same as "Thus always." I am not very good with my Latin. I got maybe 6 lessons in the book before I wanted to switch to Italian. I like Italian much better.

 Though, it is true that Latin is pretty much the "base" for languages such as Italian. Latin is also a base for Spanish too. Some words in Latin are very similar--if not the same--to some words in Italian and Spanish. I am not sure if French is included in this, however. That would be something I would have to look up.

 For example, Gratias is Latin for "Thanks." Such as Deo gratias--which is Latin for "Thanks be to God."

"Thanks" in Italian, is Grazie. It's pretty close to the Latin word for thanks. Granted, I am not very good with my Italian--yet, and I did think it was spelled g-r-a-t-s-i...Nevertheless, I will continue to work on it. As for the Latin, I know a good deal of it from things I have memorized over the years. I cannot speak it fluently like I can English, but I mentally know a few things...such as prayers and the like. But if you asked me to say them out loud, well, I am not a public speaker. :)

Anyway, to finish up what I was saying, the Spanish word for "Thanks" is gracias.

Gratias.
Gracia.
Grazie.

I believe them to be fairly similar.*

I didn't think this was to be some sort of lesson on the similarities of "Thanks", but I guess that's what it turned out to be!

I believe it was originally some sort of rant on a News post my Dad sent to me about Merida.

Another day, I guess.

I's a beautiful day outside. It's cold though. I am inside because I have been feeling under the weather. Figured I would read something before I either took a nap, or watched a movie. My dog didn't want to watch anything with me today. ~sob~

I found a "Pajama Diaries" comic in one of the gazillion papers my little sister saves for me--I cut the funny ones out and put them in a scrapbook. Like the ones used for photographs. Weird? Nah--and it was totally, totally true.

Ahaa.

I gotta go. I might watch/read something that has to do with Lord Of The Rings...

I don't know.

Have an awesome day now.

*This is my opinion of the languages. It may be true, it may not be, I read it in a book somewhere...I apologize if it's wrong. ^.^

My fate was changed because I was BRAVE.

    Yesterday my Dad took some of the family to the theaters to see Disney/Pixar's Brave. That was my first time in a movie theater, so it was very exciting. It was a lot bigger and quieter than I thought it would be. We had to walk through a few halls that were completely covered with carpeting. It was dark except for some lights here and there. I felt like I was in NCIS, on my way to go get questioned for something I didn't do. ;)

  As for BRAVE...It was AMAZING! The animation was awesome. The music was awesome. Merida's HAIR was AWESOME! The wet hair and wet fabric was awesome. The story was good. The fighting sequences were a lot more intense then what I am used to seeing from Pixar. But it was enjoyable and I have to admit that I did jump a couple times during the bears' kerfuffle. Everything was very enjoyable. There where only like 2 parts that were kinda awkward for reasons I would rather not um...I had heard that the humor was much like Dreamworks. And it was...Pixar OUTDID itself on Brave. The scenery, animation, characters, everything. Loved it and I would TOTALLY recommend it. Good family movie. I think that I will end up getting the DVD and memorizing every line WITH the accents. ♥

  We tried to come up with a moral to the story. Came up with, "Don't trust a witch," and, "Don't turn you mum into a bear." 

 Afterwards we went and had Linner, or Lupper, or Dunch or Dupper, or whatever you call Lunch/Dinner, at Pizza Hut. That was--as far as I can remember--my first time there as well! The pizza was really good. And the setting was all brick and black and white checkered table clothes. Very classy.


 All in all, it was a very good day. Near the end of it I got gut-rot on Whoppers. Those things are like seriously addicting. The malted stuff inside makes them very filling.

 Well, there are CHRISTMAS movies on the Hallmark channel which is awesome...and I need to do research on the history of Idaho...That should be fun. Heh.

 Have a good, muggy, weekend.
