lamb=lamb [sounds like cloning]
Four paragraphs left to write for homework, or thereabouts.

Found and interesting website the other day. I'm all for the pursuit of knowledge, but this seems to be getting a little carried away:
http://www.northvegr.org/lore/latinsaxon/
It's a Latin-Old Saxon dictionary.

It's interesting though. You can see the origins of English in it.
Latin: lapis (stone)
Old Saxon: stên

Latin: amicus (friend)
Old Saxon: friund

Latin: lux (light)
Old Saxon: lioht

Latin: domus (house)
Old Saxon: hûs

Latin: agnus (lamb)
Old Saxon: lamb
Some things don't change much.

Only a little left to do tonight, so of course, I have to waste time looking at comparisons of the main ancestor of English and English's major tributary.

Nerd? Me? Never.

It's sort of funny, people will tell you that Latin helps with vocabulary. I keep finding that I don't see the Latin in English words until I have a vague idea of the meaning.

Really hoping I do not have poison ivy. I didn't see any, but you never know.

I keep waking up with bruises on my legs--my shins, my knees, the fronts of my thighs. And now one or two on the backs of my hands. I'd love to know what I'm doing in my sleep. (All right, people, minds out of the gutter. Now. I mean it.)

Tired. Feeling sick.

I really have to get this work done.
