Hmmm, guess I should say something

1. Anyone else see that North Dakota TV ad? SacaKAweja? Is that how her name is pronounced? I always thought it was SacaJAweja, just like it's spelled ( Read more... )

music, shopping, cooking, dad

Uh, yeah, I don't get rap music either. I mean, uh, "yo, bling."

It's Sacakaweja. We had a US History teacher who made a big deal about it. I will never forget the pronunciation again. :-)

Oh, and the emphasis is on the second syllable--SaCAkaweja, not SacaKaweja, if you know what I mean.

Ditto-ing this, though its my NoDak born husband that makes a big deal out of it, as his favorite fishing spot was on a lake named after the lass.

But if it helps, the first time I ever saw mention of "NaNoWriMo" was in a post where it was all lower case and being from northern Wisconsin where everything has an indian name, I assumed it was some sort of late harvest fest ;)

:)) I might try NaNo again this year. I actually have an idea for an original fic this time. I'm going to spend some time doing characters charts before I decide whether to try NaNo again.

I always thought it was pronounced Sacajawea but since we have been visiting sites along the Lewis and Clark expedition and reading Undaunted Courage I have found many variations of spelling and pronunciation. I think we don't know how she said her name. Spelling in those days was more creative than it is now. I don't grasp rap, hip hop, or most current day music. Color me an old foggy, I guess.

We were at a web cafe and they were playing the Rolling Stones, I don't get Mick Jagger either. He makes me think of a banty rooster.

Congrats to you for finding something to make...

Nice gift ideas for Mr. Annearchy.

annearchy May 6 2006, 16:23:07 UTC

Actually those gift ideas are for my father. Mr. Annearchy is getting a couple of shirts with breast pockets (his request) and a rain jacket, which he needs desperately IMO.

*headdesk* This is what happens when I read through things too quickly.

The shirts (3 of them) are now "boughten" as they say in northeastern Wisconsin. Alas, I couldn't find a rain jacket at either Kohl's or Target, so I might sneak into Burlington Coat Factory next Saturday and see what they have.

I hate Burlington, due to their return policy.

Your hail mary sounds good and gives me courage. I love things like that, and have become spoiled living alone and being able to indulge the Ed Spencer in me (Ed Spencer is a man at church who mixes his food)

Most rap music seems monotonous to me.I was born too old, I reckon.
