========================================
Slept from eleven to three, then again from five to ten.
Mostly cloudy.
Highs in the upper 30s.
West winds 5 to 10 mph.
Finished listening to the audio book of Agatha Christie's The Secret of Chimneys.
Good.
Started (re)reading Charles Stross's The Atrocity Archives.
Ran my personal MacBook backup.

> Quintus Ennius loved alliteration and produced a few verses, which he probably did not intend as tongue-twisters, but which might be called that:
>
* O Tite tute Tati, tibi tanta, tyranne, tulisti.
> * Mater optumatum multo mulier melior mulierum.
> * Stultust qui cupita cupiens cupienter cupit.
> * Quicquam quisquam cuiquam, quod conveniat, neget?
> * Machina multa minax minitatur maxima muris.
>
> I collected these from various 19th century authors I found on Google Books. Finding proper citations for Ennius is somewhat out of my league, as most of his work seems to have survived only in small fragments (for example, the second one was quoted by Cicero in De Divinatione 1, 66).
