ides of march

ides of march

The saying "Beware The Ides Of March" is certainly a very well known one. It stems from William Shakespeare's famous play "Julius Caesar" when a passer by, as the story says, warns Julius Caesar that harm will possibly come his way "no later than the ides of March".

For those no longer privy to Shakespearian English, the "Ides" refers to the 15th of March, and, though it seems as if it were just New Year's last week, that day is a mere handful of hours away, occuring Tuesday. Though clearly the warning was meant for Caesar at the time, it seems as though there is still much to fear currently. Between the nuclear reactors in Japan refusing to cool and posing a huge threat to much of Asia, as well as the general natural disaster(s) in Japan on their own, it seems that it being wary of the Ides of March may still be a good idea.


So as the ides of march approaches tomorrow if you didn't know where the term came from, you do now.

sister wives

Tonight sees Kody Brown, the polygamist-turned-reality star appearing on TLC's show Sister Wives as season 2 of the programme begins. The show will go into detail on how the man who has 4 wives, Meri, 40, Janelle, 41, Christine, 38, and Robyn, 32, goes about his daily routine when he has a household with 4 wives and 16 children living in it.

"So, at the school, you have to fill out the emergency contact information," says Christine, with whom he has six kids, ranging in age from 15 years to 10 months. "I have always put Meri and Janelle on my kids contact forms but under relationship, I've left it blank." This year, she says she's going to call them what they are – the other moms – and see what happens.The entire Brown family moved from Utah to Las Vegas at the beginning of this year and continue living openly in their uniquely blended family of "plural marriage."


So a bizarre living arrangement is put under the microscope on the show tonight where it's revealed what it is like to live in.
