Random Post of Randomness

So survived the exhibit but Scott did bring the Plague into our house, and now I'm plagueridden. On the plus side I think I may have what Lyndsey got instead of what Scott got, as my main symptom is fever, rather than headcoldy stuff. So, er, yay. So I'm sucking down fluids and chicken products and being grumpy.

Sideways relatedly when Scott was feeling better before I got the plague we went to see The Eagle. It made me deeply deeply happy. Soooooo many little historical details they got right, with bonus slashiness. Seriously, most of the film is HC. It's pretty incredible. *happy happy sigh*

avictoriangirl made a banner and a wallpaper for Expected Learning Outcomes which I'm expanding in bits on top of everything else.

There was something else I was gonna post but I don't remember what it is. Dangit.

Wait..The Eagle gets points for historical accuracy? But, but, but - I was all excited to go see it and make fun of all the places they were bound to have gotten the Roman-ness WRONG. I was going to lord my seven years of Latin Class over all the uneducated masses, and point out that they were pronouncing the words wrong and everything...... You've crushed my heart with this news.

Now, I suppose I'm only going to see it for the sweaty soldier boys :-(

Yes. The only two teeny-bits that were wrong was the thumb's up/down thing which is always gotten wrong--largely for cultural reasons--and the gladiator versus slave thing.

Otherwise its quotations, Latin vs. Gaelic, and nerdy nerdy happiness.

Also slashiness and HC.

*happy sigh*

I wanna go 'gain.

YOU, m'dear, are going to enjoy the absoltue hell out of The Eagle, if you haven't already. It's just...just...! *happy sigh* I wanna go again, that is all.

Oh dear, I hope you feel better, bb! *squeezes you*

Wasn't "The Eagle" AWESOME? I am seriously Jonesing for some Marcus/Esca fic.

And speaking of fic, I can't wait for more "Expected Learning Outcomes"! *bounces*
