Looking through a retrospective on Star Wars games, I found that this narrator pronounces Thrawn's full name (Mitth'raw'nuruodo) as "Mitthraw-nuru-odo". Interesting.
When I was a little kid, mosquito bites always led to gigantic red welts, hard and hot to the touch. They'd linger for weeks, itch constantly, ache, and often refuse to respond to Cortizone. Now, not so much. A mosquito bites me, there's a tiny red dot, and within a few minutes there's that raised white blister, and quickly the skin around it reddens, but an hour after that the blister shrinks and disappears, and so does the redness. Very soon there's just a vague reddish swelling, small, and it shrinks and is gone within a few days. There's itching, but it's less of an issue. It's like my body got tired of overreacting to mosquito bites.
Dear body: Why couldn't you have figured this out earlier?
