POLYSYLLABIC!

DROMAEOSAURID! Troodontidae!

My happy and rhythmical neep of the day!

I shall send a special gold  "LICENSE TO PARSE"  sticker to anyone who can identify the metre in that last line :}

Amphibrachic tetrameter.

[sesquipedeviant]

I'll take tetrameter!
Amphibrachic? While I was after "one iambus, then three anapaests" i'm happy enough with amphibrachic; it sounds like a particularly delicate type of seahorse :}

[sesquipedeviant]

Btw, I just realised, I think I've packed my sticker making supplies (foiled!). Would you like a certificate that says "LICENCE TO PARSE" or a fridge magnet? Yes, I will make them, or hire my tiny minions to do the same!

Next time we see each other, you can dub me with a Macquarie.

[sesquipedeviant]

I do love that leafy logo!

[sesquipedeviant]

while it's suitably amphibrachic (and even brachiates) ... it's copyrighted! Even Orphan Law won't save me if i copy it!

[sebkha]

I just figured you might already have one handy for ceremonial occasions (like the bestowal of honors).

[sesquipedeviant]

Hah! No -- I do have a rather hefty three-volume Merriam-Webster's, though! I found it again in the storage area last night :} that reminds me, what are you doing the next couple of weekends? there could be some moving stuff with added chit-chat on friday night, or some internet-installing to talk over. i'm ready to be convinced that i need to buy an AirPort :>

[sesquipedeviant]

er, that should have read, "moving stuff with free food thrown in for you". Ooops.

[sebkha]

I'm about to be unusually free over the next few weekends, so this is eminently plausible. This coming Friday and Saturday are booked, but the weekend after is totally clear.

[sesquipedeviant]

alas, we're now limited to moving this friday and saturday :.
Oh well! at least the one after may hold social possibilities.

[sesquipedeviant]

Sorry, I didn't have your number on my new phone. Did you email it to me? it wasn't in my LJ comments when i checked 'em on the weekend, or i'd have sent you a text or something. social life is gravely limited right now, with no internet!

[sebkha]

I'll be visiting your place on Friday for raynulf's impending game, so I'll dump my details on you then!
