Twenty six seems like a lot, too much considering how little I've accomplished. I feel sort of meh. But that could just be upset stomach.
I've been reading sir Philip Sidney's "Defence of Poesie" and getting pissed off that he considers Cato the Younger automatically superior to his great grandfather, apparently because Cato the Elder's suspicion towards Greek learning, which led him to write his literary works in Latin, single-handedly creating Latin prose writing. Cato the Younger greatest (only) achievement is the creation of his own reputation (relaying heavily on that of his great grandfather). OK, so I have a big problem with Cato the Younger. And no life.
