What We Do in Life Echoes in Eternity

Quote of the moment:
Fratres! Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it shall be so. Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you are already dead!

Brothers, what we do in life... echoes in eternity.


- Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North and General of the Felix Legions. (sound clip). I decided a full-on cavalry charge at the new semester was in order.

In other news, the Artic Monkeys have the "fastest-selling debut album in UK chart history" and the magpies were up to "Four for a boy" today. Which boy, though?
