I am amazingly glad that February is over. I did not enjoy last month in the least.

This month, of course, we mourn the death of Caesar, but other than that, I see no reason why it cannot be a better month. After all, spring is coming, and it will be nice to get away from this deathly cold weather. Another way California is better than New York. ~~In addition to all the Greeks here~~.

Have you had any interest in the fundraiser position? I have received no e-mails but it is possible they might contact you instead, as you are seen to be more personable.

Also, when is Easter? I don't know the dates of Christian holidays.

Lastly - is the Youth Center planning anything for St. Patrick's? We wouldn't like the youth of the city getting themselves intoxicated for lack of a better option.

We should do something.

	Oh, pah. People still mourn that fellow, do they? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	At Camp Jupiter, we do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not that it's a walk in the park to be murdered by one's friends, of course, but he did have a damn sight more warning than most people. He might have turned around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turn around? What would he turn around? He was a wise Emperor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The account of him meeting that gentleman on the way to the senate is no doubt apocryphal, but I think the crux of the matter stands - when someone tells you you're in all likelihood going to die today, you do best to wonder if maybe you shouldn't go back to bed, seems to me.

But then, I've known plenty of people who would disagree. It hardly matters - wise or foolish, we end up the same. ... Some of us less stabbed then others, of course.

	Particularly if the soothsayer - apocryphal or not - truly had a gift. It is all together possible that he did. He was brave in not backing down, although perhaps it was a bit foolish. But then, bravery often is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And the kind of bravery that makes one's friends want to stab one to death is probably suspect on top of being foolish. They did a pretty thorough job of it, after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Romans tend to do most everything thoroughly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You can't argue with that. Thoroughly rash, thoroughly betrayed, thoroughly dead, and still thoroughly successful at wringing an empire out of a republic. He didn't do badly for himself, for a dead man. Me, I think my favorite thorough Roman was Apicius. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	From your posts on the network, that does not surprise me in the least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He got a salad out of the deal, I don't think he needs any more mourning. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm a big fan of how he tried to take over Egypt but then got murdered instead. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	tinnedtuna 2013-03-05 03:23 am UTC (link)
	Actually, we're right here. But then your cultures never did have an eye for detail. Look at the pathetic job you did trying to steal from Egypt. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	As someone who is a huge Spartacus fan, I spend every episode hoping they change history and he gets his ass killed even quicker. Sorry. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You're aware that I'm Roman? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	myeu_muh 2013-03-04 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	That's why I said sorry? To be fair, every place has it's own jerk hanging around. We've got Columbus day and he was a total asshat. ~~and not even American~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	feanaro 2013-03-04 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	I won't argue with that. I do find America's Imperial ambitions amusing, though. Apparently everyone tries to emulate Rome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey I've got nothing against Rome, and even I know they were pretty freaking incredible when it came to conquering crap. I just hate Caesar on the show. :[ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know that isn't really Caesar, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And thank God, because if the rebellion really were that stupidly hot, I'd cry even more. (Reply to this) (Parent)
