I dunno... mine was serving pies. I'm just saying - pie.

What is even happening?

Pizza's a pie. But I'm going to Jen's mom's house, anyhow.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Mine served pickles. Huh.

I think askye's mom and my mom need to have a progressive dinner.

ETA: And Dana's - she could do the apps course.

In any case, we can't lose Pluto, because then what would we eat?

I guess we could still have jelly sandwiches, but for a mnemonic device that one's awfully hard to remember.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Man very early made jars stand up nearly perpendicular.

I never needed the mnemonic. I didn't even need to memorize the planets - I just read about them (when I was six or seven) and knew them.

Art Crawl!!!

I don't know why I'm surprised that there is a minor planet mailing list.

I guess I was so surprised that I went into excessive use of the letter s.

I can't remember the order of Jupiter through Neptune without the mnemonic. You get beyond the asteroid belt and I get totally lost.

move out and draw fire

I learned the mnemonic after I'd learned the planets (I was really into astronomy) and it was harder for me to remember than the planets' names, in order. Same with the Roy G. Biv thing - I knew the color order before I could read.

So I thought "mnemonic" meant "something that unnecessarily complicates the act of remembering."
