In Latin we don’t say “I love you,” we say “Pedicabo ego vos” which means “You are the image of my heart.”
I just think this is really beautiful.
I translated this last year. It’s from Catullus and he says: “pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo” which means “I will sodomize and face-fuck you.” Catullus was not really a nice guy.
Winter has come
It is now minus 13 degrees outside lol. And I have to go walk my dog… winter is so awesome!
Reading Seneca
This man has got to be the biggest Hypocrite in the history of mankind. He had 300.000.000 sestertiens and preached poverty…
My Sinterklaas poem for my mother :)
Laatst was de Sint de weg weer kwijt,
Hij wordt oud, het is een feit.
Dan denkt hij snel aan Annemarieke, dat maakt hem blij.
Niemand is immers dementer dan zij!
Niets is beter voor zijn humeur,
dan als haar sleutel weer blijft steken in de deur.
Toch heeft hij een traantje gelaten
toen hij dacht aan haar nazaten.
Zulke genen, dat gaat nooit goed,
een zeker recept voor pure rampspoed
En ja hoor, daar ziet hij een junk met fiets lopen,
ah, die van je zoon stond vast open.
Door dit boek over het brein worden beiden gesterkt,
en blijft de schade wellicht beperkt.
Bah, someone stole my bike
I had to walk home which took me over two hours. Welcome to Amsterdam…
that awkward moment when you can’t game because you did too much math and your hand hurts
I’ll just have to watch Game of Thrones again…
Season three is coming!
astrophysics!!!
Tomorrow I’m finally going to the Dutch institute of astrophysics to do research on muons! I wrote them a letter and they allowed me to come a whole day hahaha. Maybe I’ll post some data tomorrow
The Age of Nerds
Being on the internet so often I feel like there is a quiet cultural revolution going on in America with regards to nerds. I now often come across people who actually say they are nerdy in order to be “cool”, which traditionally sounds contradictory by definition.
A change in culture like this will spread to Europe, it always does. Perhaps the next century will be known as the age of nerds?
