23 of 30 - The Beach: Now With Pictures

[emosnail]

   As you may or may not recall, the other day I was forced to go the beach. It turns out there WERE in fact pictures taken at the beach. Not by me and not of awesome things like power stations 200 ft nuclear d-cups or the giant honey-stick, but pictures that can be used to illustrate my loathing of the beach:

NOW I know what your papa looks like!

That first picture is quite adorable, I would save it on my laptop if it was functional.
I know that head-down position very well (you in the third picture), that's your Iloathethesun/IneedcaffeineASAP/IneedsomefoodASAP/Bluh-ergh position. Hee.
That would be so awesome if Pavel lived with you, I love me some Russians.

Yea I've had strangely few pictures of him in the past, I guess he's just devious like that. The pic's a wee bit bigger on photobucket.

I've been reduced to weeping bitter tears. Bitter tears of sadness.

Notice that my technique is to hibernate.

A useful term to put into action here is ESTIVATE, which means: to sleep through the summer. Many members of this family have been known to attempt such actions in the past. Most, however, are now gainfully employed and find estivation quite impossible. MOST.

Estivation is an excellent undertaking.

ah, sure enough:

hibernal - adj : characteristic of or relating to winter; syn: brumal, hiemal

where does "estivate" come from? est-ivate should mean "to bring into being" as I read it.

hmm

how about "estival" - "having to do with the summer"; from latin "aestas" meaning "summer"

I wonder if festival comes from estival?

no, sadly it doesn't seem to.. festival is from latin festus.

anyway, are there any other est* words that have to do with the summer?

[emosnail]

Yes. Pictures are excellent. (=
