A declining we will go

Posted on December 3, 2003 Written by Diane

One of the things I’ve always wanted to do is learn Latin. Yes, I know: Linguistics degree from Stanford and I’ve never studied Latin. What are universities coming to these days?

If, like me, you don’t have the time to take a Latin class at a nearby university (UCLA Extension, I miss you), you can join me in the online Group Latin Study, which is starting a newbie Latin group in January. You’ll need Wheelock’s Latin and 38 Latin Stories. Join the mailing list and then ignore all the groups that aren’t 2004-Lilac. (All the Latin groups use one channel, but thankfully it seems most people are good about having the appropriate headers on their messages!)

Ave, Caesar. Et cetera.

And back away slowly

My new favorite site: Put Down The Donut The name alone earns it two snaps. (How old is that reference?) I need all the support I can get this holiday season, and a simultaneous ode to and warning about Cinnabon is my kind of place. (Why is there now a Cinnabon is every airport? Evil! Eeeeevil!)

My other favorite about-weight-loss site is the Skinny Daily, a very well-written site by a woman who herself lost 100 pounds (and has the pictures to prove it!). Her essays are informative and inspirational.
