Poetic Tuesday

[salinea]

Flatter un créditeur, pour son terme allonger,
Courtiser un banquier, donner bonne espérance,
Ne suivre en son parler la liberté de France,
Et pour répondre un mot, un quart d'heure y songer :

Ne gâter sa santé par trop boire et manger,
Ne faire sans propos une folle dépense,
Ne dire à tous venants tout cela que l'on pense,
Et d'un maigre discours gouverner l'étranger :

Connaître les humeurs, connaître qui demande,
Et d'autant que l'on a la liberté plus grande,
D'autant plus se garder que l'on ne soit repris :

Vivre avecques chacun, de chacun faire compte :
Voilà, mon cher Morel (dont je rougis de honte),
Tout le bien qu'en trois ans à Rome j'ai appris.

Du Bellay

With dedication to DylanFanatic and the receding standarts of education, language and the commecialisation of art.

can't wait for the review :)

but I wasn't expecting the season to end like that.
It's the Empire Strikes Back of the show :) structurally sound, but the fact we didn't expect it made it great IMO (although Azula overplotting Long Feng was a bit too easy yet awesome!)

I love the Fire Nation family, they totally hit my screwed up family dynamic, as you say :) Lannisters or Blacks or Amber... just love those dynamics. And I adore that the show had the guts to do that with Zuko. He can be quite the idiot, doesn't he?

This show gives more credit to its audience's intelligence than most
They think about the implications of the powers in a way I found typical of roleplayers :)

No more Mako though :-( Is his replacement any good? Probably won't get to S3 until later in the week.

I think he's alright, but... well you'll see.

The other day I was watching this hilariously bad movie called Rise with Lucy Liu and I was surprised to see Mako was in it :)
