My two all time favorite butt-kicking women. I’m leaning towards a Xena victory.
I am doing a project on Athena and why she would win if the Olympians had a contest for best goddess. I already have wisdom and generosity as trait for her, but now I am stuck… Any help?
I’d go for Xena. I need tough love.
Think my wife would be less jealous of Xena?
Julius Caesar, a play about statehood and leadership, is one of the most quoted of Shakespeare’s plays in modern-day political speeches. Why do you think this play about conspiracy and assassination might appeal to politicians today?
I lovee this show but I havnt been able to find any good sites with full episodes. I would buy the dvds but thats just not in my budget right now =(
Shakespeare Act 3
Options are:
a. Caesar will no longer have to deal with the trivial details of government
b. Caesar has been spared years of living in fear of death
c. Caesar will sit among the gods sooner than the conspirators will
Or a character like her in those times?
I don’t think much of it. I was just talking to my friend about applying for jobs today and made up this scenario. She thought it was hilarious, but I am pretty sure she was a little drunk.
Today I applied for a job at a bank. I had a garden variety resume. Times New Roman, fancy paper, delivered by singing telegram. Normal stuff.
She looked it over and asked me about any special skills. In retrospect I think she meant knowing math or counting, maybe a different language. Apparently Latin wasn’t a particularly useful class, aside from learning to properly fit a toga.
I thought for a minute…Well…I can name every Bea Arthur role since 1947 in chronological order…I iron my own shirts…I’ve seen every episode of Glee at least six times…
"I’ll stop you there. Considering this is a bank, I don’t think we are looking for those types of "skills"
Okay…so…this being a bank, I don’t expect to be able to get a cheeseburger at that drive up window then…
No, I can give you a lolllipop.
No, I am an adult…do you have cherry?
Here, why don’t you look in the bowl…
Oh, you have a lot of flavors. I’ll take the cherry for here. Take a lime for the ride home…it’s a long ride, better take two…I’ll just…few more…
They’re for the children…let me just take this back…
Gimme a minute…oh look! A mystery flavor!
So I’m on the curb waiting with my bowl of lolli’s, I have about 7 in my mouth…they are very time consuming as a food…it would take days to get through the bowl otherwise…I’m thinking, you know, when I was a little girl growing up, I wanted to be a princess…okay I wanted to be a unicorn, but some things were explained to me and I settled for princess…anyway, I couldn’t help but think I had realized my childhood dream in that moment being escorted out of the bank with a bowl of candy. Who else but a princess could be preceded by the sounds of sirens, escorted to a marvelous carriage by guards, and given her own room with a toilet in arms length…
Yes, truly I live the good life.
If only my mother could see it that way…
Did they still wear sandals and togas when they were in snowy parts of Italy, or in England? I mean, they got all over the place so that must have had something to wear besides their bedsheets didn’t they?
