Organize!

The Chief here, wasting my lunch hour on the internet as usual...

I wanted to do some rejiggering with the blog to try and get a little more consistency and (for me) simplicity. Until now I've been just fooling around, posting pretty much as the spirit moves me. And the spirit tendeth to bloweth where it listeth. Fucker.

So here's the deal: from now on I'm going to try and do 3 posts a week or thereabouts.

Midweek (Tuesday or Wednesday) I'll post about some "thing" that interests me: books, art, music, soccer, the films of Russ Meyer, whatever - what my grannie would have lumped as "the infernal culture". So the Hump Day posts will be about my personal oddities, loves and hates.

Friday I'll post about politics and "ideas": war, peace, love, death and Republicans.

Sunday is "Family Day": where I post about funny stuff that the Peep and Mojo do, activities, travel, etc.

Hopefully this turns the GFT into something a little more easily accessible for my two readers. (BTW - thanks, gals, for the aid, comfort and comments: you're gentlepersons and scholars).

And with that, I leave you a rainy Wednesday and the pen of Frank Cho: artist and monkeyboy. Had I such a gift, I'd never leave the drawing table...

Civis Romanus sum

You scored as Augustus.

You are Augustus! First emperor of the Romans and one of the greatest statesmen in the ancient world. You brilliantly eased the old Republic into the Principate and set the path for an empire that would last for centuries and form the underpinnings for all western civilization. Hail Caesar!

Augustus 89%
Marcus Aurelius 82%
Antoninus Pius 61%
Tiberius 50%
Vespasian 50%
Hadrian 50%
Claudius 46%
Nerva 39%
Domitian 36%
Trajan 32%
Vitellius 25%
Nero 21%
Commodus 0%
Caligula 0%

While I'd rather have thought I was the Vespasian type, at least I avoided any similarity in the loathsome Commodus/Caligula category...
