This is why I love flea.
Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jeez louise, Nilly! I wish you a better day as well.
It's fascinating - completely obscure etymology (Icelandic? Middle Latin? not convincing cases for either) and appears first in 1400 as "in kenebowe."
That is fascinating.
I have not technically written any part of my paper yet, but at least I've typed in one quote from the reading and properly cited it. So that's something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was reading what's the Jamaican version of the OED, and it was a bit depressing how many of the words were alien to me. But then I checked with my father, and he didn't know a bunch of them too, so I felt less rootless. Fascinatingly (and predictably, but whatev) they've traced a lot of the words to their specific African forebears. It's really cool to see the creolishness laid out like that. I haven't finished reading the non-dictionary bit yet, but I'm really hoping for something that breaks down the grammar of Patois, because I'd love to know how many of the non-English rules are home grown, and how many imported from elsewhere.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
PB: I liked how it ended, but why is everyone so STUPID? Why did Hale do anything that he did during this episode? GET ON A PLANE AND PUT THE ENVELOPE IN THE MAIL. GOD! He deserves to bite it.

What amych said. And even more so because I had to look "akimbo" up in teh dictionary and now have learned a new word.
Wolfram! How are you doing? How is the job hunt going?
I can't believe your landlord gave you a used oven. That's so cheap of him.
Well, it's newer than the old oven we had, so we already are a step ahead of where we were with the old one.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
My job, while not nearly as stressful and assheaded as Shrift's or Hec's, is making me DESPERATELY need to choke a bitch.
That is all.

PB: Everyone is a moron. And could they have underused Michelle Forbes any more? The ending was a big let down though, I really wanted to see them get out tonight.

I was happy to see Abruzzi was still alive. I love that guy! Like 24, he will recover from a near-fatal neck wound within the next two hours, though.

Ugh. I think having a job is both the motivation and de-motivation for finding a new one. People tell me I should quit and then search full time. I wish I had that luxury.
Well, it's newer than the old oven we had, so we already are a step ahead of where we were with the old one.
You are so, so nice.
