Dr. Lavigne has begun setting up a new website for Classics courses and the Classical Society webpage. Having himself designed the layout, he made the unfortunate error of requesting criticism from Adrian and me. We restricted ourselves to suggesting he perhaps change the font, with a further comment from moi about his misspelling of "archaeology" (as "archeology", which is an accepted alternate, but only by uncultured swine, i.e., the same people who might allow the pronunciation "for-tay" for forte in nonmusical contexts). The site is coloured hideously and navigable only with difficulty. I suppose I shall remain silent, though, as compiling a list would consume time I would rather spend elsewise.
Adrian informed me Sharada will carpool the four of us (Jennifer ist Nummer Vier) to eat at an establishment called "Saigon" this weekend. What little I know about Saigon consists of information from war movies and an eleventh grade U. S. History textbook, but I have eaten at the restaurant once before and found the fare acceptable. It would be cheaper than buying food to prepare a whole dinner, more than likely.
I burned the index finger of my left hand with a hair-curling iron.
