But apart from...

[erastes]

All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

THIS – apparently.

Thanks, Romans. Not.

In other news, more Sherlock! Only three more epis though, which is most unfair.

Thanks to my mate Henri for both of the above.

True Blood

1. Don't you kill Hoyt, Jess - don't you dare!

2. I am beginning to warm to Russell's looks. I embarrassed myself by wanting a dark, handsome brooding King who was pretty much invulnerable to anyone in the area, but I'm beginning to get him now. He's a small, sad little man in a dirty raincoat.

3. ERIC'S RINGTONE! PRICELESS!

4. Sookie and Bill planning their pretend life. *sniff*

5. Oh Eric, what are you up to?

6. Terry, I still love you

7. The sign in Fantasia “No Biting on the Premises.” Well, no-one ever stuck to that!

8. Oh, Eric….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*worries*

I somehow missed Eric's ringtone. What is it?

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

I don't watch with the sound on, only the captions. It said [jolly tune] so now I'm curious too.

If it's "Pennsylvania 6-5000" I'm gonna die.

I don't know what the tune was, but it was uncharacteristically "jolly" and made me snort my tea out of my nose.

I'm trying to remember, as I pegged last night. I think it was "What a Wonderful World." I'll try to catch a rebroadcast, and then I'll be able to tell you for sure.

I love gladiator sandals. Just not with socks.

The new Wiccan character scares me, just with her looks. She's not bad on the character thing, but there's something weird about her face.

I love and adore Terry. I want my own Terry.

I'm liking Pam more and more. And I am getting Eric better. I love his sense of humor. But at base, he is still a viking and still has that mentality.

I can TOTALLY see Bill teaching third grade. And every kid in his class would look up to him and love him. If he weren't so broken inside. There is something badly broken in there and a lot of time, it's like Bill doesn't even see or hear the people he is talking to.

And Russel. ZOMG. He proves my point immortality makes you clinically insane. Carrying Talbot around in a crystal urn? Meep.

And it appears that Vampires don't go off either, he's still bright red. Blick.

It's nice to have physical proof of sock wearing though it's been known about for a while. The Vindolanda Letters refer to socks and also underpants so I guess they wanted to keep their bits warm too!

I've only seen a little snippets of True Blood series 3. It sounds fantastic.

I refuse to believe they wore socks with sandlas. It was a stray bit of material on there. Absolutely. They wore the socks for bedtime. la-la-la *covers ears*

I wish they'd go back and CGI them into films.

Maximus saying "ARE YOU NOT AMUSED?" would mean something more.

They used to wear hoodies (http://www.earlybritishkingdoms.com/kids/images/birrus.jpg) too. The birrus britannicus, starting the British males reputation for sartorial elegance that persists to this day!

:( isn't it horrible when accurate history shatters ones illusions?

Something about that picture - I think it's the way it's cropped - but I keep thinking the top part shows a roman soldier sitting on the loo...
