labor day blues
The "Things to Ponder" widget on my iGoogle homepage said this the other day: "how would we know if a word was miss-spelled in the dictionary?" It succeeded in its purpose, as I sat there thinking about everything from how dictionaries would lose their credibility to how maybe there's some government conspiracy against certain words... o.O
Yes, that [^^^] is what happens when I have too much free time. I've now figured out why I did so many things in high school - because the effects of NOT doing anything would have been far worse.
But yeah. College is amazing. UCF is a great school, my classes are going well, and the people I've met here are awesome. I know it will only gets better from here :)
My music of choice at the moment is by this band called The Cinematics. They came and performed live on campus last week, and I've been listening to them on repeat since then. Their songs "Break" and "Rise & Fall" are my faves. So go check them out sometime.
Ok, enough rambling - for now [insert Umbridge giggle] :)

Harry Potter Theme Park (!!!)
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
On May 31, 2007, Universal Orlando announced that it had secured the rights from Warner Bros. and from British author J. K. Rowling to bring "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" to Islands of Adventure.[1] The twenty-acre island will feature attractions, shops and restaurants set inside such locations as the Forbidden Forest, Hogsmeade Village and the iconic Hogwarts castle. Some existing attractions within the Lost Continent are to be updated to the new theme, and will be joined by a state-of-the-art attraction that remains unannounced. Groundbreaking is scheduled for this year, with completion of the expansion planned for late 2009. The new island will replace a portion of the Lost Continent, while expanding the park into what is currently a backstage support area and employee parking.[2]

WOW, talk about something I can't wait for :)

Prior Incantato
Yesterday, I made a hot dog in the microwave and for the life of me I couldn't remember how long I put it in there for - "was it 40 seconds or 45 seconds?" Its time like these when you really wish Harry Potter magic was real...

Latin = fun
So, I'm here doing my Latin homework and we have to look up various Latin phrases and such. A few of them amused me greatly, so I'll post them here.
Obesa cantavit - The fat lady has sung.
O! Plus! Perge! Aio! Hui! Hem! - Oh! More! Go on! Yes! Ooh! Ummm!
Optimus magister, bonus liber - The best teacher is a good book
Orbes volantes exstare - Flying saucers are real
Parva leves capiunt animas - Small things occupy light minds (small things amuse small minds)
Pistrix! Pistrix! - Shark! Shark!
Absum! - I'm outta here!
Amicule, deliciae, num is sum qui mentiar tibi? - Baby, sweetheart, would I lie to you?
Ascendo tuum - Up yours
Machina improba! Vel mihi ede potum vel mihi redde nummos meos! - You infernal machine! Give me a beverage or give me my money back!
Monstra mihi pecuniam! - Show me the money!
Musica delenit bestiam feram - Music soothes the savage beast
Nemo risum praebuit, qui ex se coepit - Nobody is laughed at, who laughs at himself. (Seneca)
Veni, Vidi, volo in domum redire - I came, I saw, I want to go home
Noli turbare circulos meos! - Don't upset my calculations! (Archimedes)
my favorite:
Nolite id cogere, cape malleum majorem - Don't force it, get a bigger hammer
:D
