The current word that has peeked my interest is, in English, credit or credibility. In Latin, the verb 'to believe' is credare, credo (to believe, I believe), or trust. I just learned this verb in French. Croire. It's always fascinated me, for some reason. I wanted to turn it the Latin version into something of a statement famous from a favorite anime of mine. However, the verb 'to give' fit better than trying to convert credare into 'to entrust' or a giving of trust, since the statement was a command. If you're curious, the phrase in Latin is, Da Mihi Tuum Cordem. (Give me your heart, from Princess Tutu)
Also, I have three songs for you--
Lord of the Rings Symphony (Compilation, with commentary from composer)
Look for the bass clarinet!
Fiddler on a Roof -- If I Were a Rich Man
Carrie Underwood -- Blown Away
Also, in my World Mythology class, we have just finished our section on Greco-Roman mythology. So, I thought this would be an appropriate time to make mention that my female protagonist is loosely based on a figure from Greek mythology, perhaps one of my favorite goddesses.
Side note, we begin Norse mythology today. I'm excited for Loki.
Also, I saw the new movie Warm Bodies, twice in the past week. I enjoyed it so much, just as I thought I would, that I was happy to see it with another friend who wanted to see it desperately. I'm determined to eventually read the book it's based on. But on a whole, the movie gave me a new interest on zombies, a new perspective. The zombie genre always interested me on the survival angle-- see Amanda Hocking's Hollow series, and the Walking Dead.
Speaking of the Walking Dead, I love that show. I have not, however, since the latest episode and I will vehemently seek anyone out who spoils the new episode for me.
