Dinner with minnehaha

[lollardfish]

lee_os invited minnehaha to have dinner at Minnehaha's house. A synopsis of the dinner is here. It puts me in mind of Catullus 13.

Cenabis bene, mi Fabulle, apud me
paucis, si tibi di favent, diebus,
si tecum attuleris bonam atque magnam
cenam, non sine candida puella
et vino et sale et omnibus cachinnis.
Haec si, inquam, attuleris, venuste noster,
cenabis bene; nam tui Catulli
plenus sacculus est aranearum.
Sed contra accipies meros amores,
seu quid suavius elegantiusve est:
nam unguentum dabo, quod meae puellae
donarunt Veneres Cupidinesque;
quod tu cum olfacies, deos rogabis
totum ut te faciant, Fabulle, nasum.

I was just thinking that myself.

You don't have any season 2 of "The West Wing" dvds around, do you?

K. [maybe I should go to Blockbuster and open an account and rent them]

[lollardfish.livejournal.com]

No, although we were unhelpfully discussing buying season 1 today.

you & your culinarily inspired friends are evil. Or, perhaps, you & they are not, but your recounting of the event online in 2 different languages is evil.

(or evil for those of us who haven't dined well w/good friends & good drink since Thanksgiving)

[lollardfish.livejournal.com]

Yes. But it's a dry heat!

... not to mention evil for those of us who left Latin behind them in HS.
