Precious Mermaid Oil

My new roommate isn't named Piña Colada. His parents named him after a completely different fruity alcoholic beverage, but I'd like to show a token of respect for his privacy so I'm not going to tell you which one

While the Romans didn't have the guitar proper, they did have the forerunner of the guitar (and the word we get 'guitar' from), the cithara. Which was in turn a Greek word/instrument, the kithara, and it's usually Greek stems used to express passions or fears, so it doesn't clash with the Greeky philia or phobia. A passion for guitars would then be kitharaphilia, though a lot of those English terms normalize the a or i to an o, so possibly kitharophilia. Lyrae and citharae were different creatures, though honestly I couldn't tell you what the difference between them was.

This. This right here is exactly why I miss you so much.
Well, and for other reasons.

I miss you guys, too. I still get job alerts for positions in WI and am like, man...

Wait does this make the antikythera mechanism the first electric guitar?!

That's... really cool actually. My favorite part is the bit about the lady who changed her last name to Berlin Wall.

You'd make a good part-time mermaid. You have the right attitudes toward sex and violence for it.

Wait, where was Piña Colada staying before he moved in with you? I totally admire his willingness to adventure, but that was pretty lucky.

Yeah, I agree about LJ being weird for that reason.

If more people joined LJ, there would be more comments! I still check it and am glad to see an entry! I'd like to see one about this year's autumn adventures, but that desire is probably hypocritical as I have yet to post one. I did enjoy seeing you though!

Random LJ related question: Can I use the phrase Coffee of Annihilation in a story as the name of a coffee shop?

[lex_of_green]

Of course you can use it! May I read the story afterward?

[aliseadae]

Certainly!

There, I'm following your blogspot blog so I can keep up with your adventures there, too.

You have real adventures. Far more of them than I do.

[lex_of_green]

Yeah, but you accomplish actual things with your life, so it more than evens out. :-)
