A story her folks can be told.

I'm home at the moment with Day 3 of a cold (day one: aching throat; day two: scratchy throat and runny nose; day three: ceaseless ooze of mucus from sinuses, and thanks for that, sinuses), breathing through my mouth and snorking and generally sexing up the joint. No use taking DayQuil, given that text is my anti-drug: the ensuing reaction might ( Read more... )

Something about your posts makes me love footnotes :)

I think it's the length. You get to the footnotes, and you think, 'Dear lord, the end! I love you guys!'

Also I use them for added sarcasm.

The footnotes make me think that I'm reading something academic and that I am, therefore, being productive, even while I'm putzing around on live journal.

I hope that this comment is sufficiently delayed that you are now entirely well, but if not: FEEL BETTER, RAY-RAY.

(I just wrote "FELL." I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.)

I want to see pictures! PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES.

Your reference to Counselor Troi? Because of that, I went on a wikipedia -- uh, there needs to be a word for a half-hour wasted on wikipedia, bouncing back and forth between entries about a television show you've never watched -- anyway, I now know who Counselor Troi is. And also her plotlines -- the arranged marriage! the actual marriage! -- and those of several other characters. "Characters" means these people are not real. "Characters" means I could've been doing other, more useful things.

DAMMIT, JIM.

We read Samuel 1 in seventh grade. I hated seventh grade, but stories about necromancy are always a good thing. Biblical numerology, on the other hand? IS A LOAD OF CRAP. "Why look, if you add the values of the letters together... you get another number, to which we will randomly assign significance!" "Oh, and ( ... )

Okay, so you know what I said, about the wikipedia whorl? See here. It is still not a word but a picture is worth a thousand words and maybe one mention of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

And maybe I meant "whirl" but "whorl" brings us back to your spiral, after all.

Does it count if your majorly delayed comment is mostly repeating back my own writing and adding "hee"? It does, because yay for com[pli]ments. Speaking of which, I must forward to you MA's reply to the email you so kindly helped me word.

It's mildly important that you have passing familiarity with the first two iterations of "Star Trek," so I'm glad to have prompted your research trip. But forget Troi's plotlines - did you see what they made her wear? Although perhaps it wasn't that much worse for her than for the male actors. At some point between now and the federated future we will all be replaced by molded plastic: no sags, no dangles. And big, crazy hair for everyone who isn't bald ( ... )
