Word of yesterday: debuccalization

Government web domain of yesterday: No, I'm not talking about Change.gov. I'm talking about PandemicFlu.gov. Crazy times we live in...

So confused and yet I agree.

Maybe he's talking about the card game? Shrug. I picked up a bottle of Plymouth gin the other night after seeing it mentioned far too many times for me to go on living without knowing what all the fuss was about. Yet to really give it a go. Yet to give it a go at all, actually. Also unclear as to how much I LIKE most ( Read more... )

I saw Chris Trapper at the Lilac Festival last Friday. I took one picture of the crowd and one of the stage, then just sat back and enjoyed the music. And a PB&J. Some of you will recall that I saw Trapper perform a few months back in a very different setting. I think I preferred the Water Street show's feel, but the setlist of the Lilac Festival.

I'm slowly moving my office from Meliora to Lattimore. Let this stand as my official announcement. It is not a political (in the bad sense of the word) move. Ask me more about it if you want to, but basically I'm going to be doing more work with Joyce in the future than I have in the past. Interestingly, I'll be doing more work with Dick in the ( Read more... )

1. lizzybeth529 and I just stumbled upon my real backup plan. It's not to own a leftist patisserie. It's to have a talk show a la Jimmy Kimmel, who has oodles of "friends" (childhood and celeb, I suppose - never watched JKL much) to come on & hang out & be on TV. Doesn't that sound like fun? Oh, me. I remember looking forward to college and thinking of all ( Read more... )

Wow. I was having a rather crappy day, on the whole. And then I read Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. It finally made sense. Before now, I only ever understood it out to 5. Yesssssssss!!!

Coincidentally, I ate Buffalo Wild Wings for the first time in far too long. Thanks, jisalynn. (That was actually another good thing. I'm ( Read more... )

And now, some ling-blogs that supernerdily analyze aspects of popular culture:
Family Guy and intonation
Starbucks and vowel harmony

(Is anybody else getting "Invalid year value" errors from LJ?)

Some of you saw that last entry as appearing at noon on Sunday. That's not the case. It was posted at 3:25 AM. Lordy. I ended up going to Parkleigh with Doug, then to Pittsford Wegmans, where I bought what I needed to make Fontina and Onion Soup and pulled pork as well as some necessities for the week. When I got back to the house & started ( Read more... )

It's been a nutty weekend. Alison got people organized to go to On The Rocks on Friday night. It was Happy Hour from noon-9pm. I thought that New York banned happy hour years ago (seriously) and MADD agrees. Yet clearly, Happy Hour still exists. Shrug. I asked the bartender if the 2-for-1 deal applied to pitchers too, and it did! Hot diggity. Vik, ( Read more... )
