It's a repug holiday today: composer Richard Wagner was born in Leipzig, Germany, 1813.



It's only Wednesday. My big task for tomorrow: try really hard to not poke my eyes out at work.

Today in History

337: Emperor Constantine dies. Although quite dead, his embalmed corpse continues to act as head of state, receving state dignitaries and daily reports from ministers as if nothing had changed. Constantine's macabre leadership continues through winter. - Sorta makes you think, doesn't it?
