"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

The classic New Orleans accent is said to sound a bit New Jerseyish.

I asked a linguisics prof about this once, in the context of John Fogerty's sounding like a New York chorus girl from 40s movies ("goil", etc.), and he told me that it's the same effect developing twice: Irish immigrants' accents transmuting in the New World. The weird part is, that "goil" particular part of the accent has almost completely disappeared from New York, except for a vaguely similar effect in native Yiddish speakers; I think it persists still in New Orleans.

I'm sitting in my office with my monster coat on my lap and my llama(?) wool scarf around my shoulders. Just not right.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I was one of those horrible people who has 18000 bags with them during rushhour commute. AND THEN the Post Office I thought I could stop in before work didn't open until 9, so I didn't even get to mail them yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

MIT Mario Bros = hilarious. But shouldn't those kids be studying?!?!?

I'm going to walk to the subway, and curse each homeowner who has not yet properly cleared their sidewalk of snow and/or ice.

Grrr! I hate those people. Especially because it just compounds over the course of the winter.

Here is my problem: I just don't care about either of the classes I have left. But I need to. Bleh.

And the stupid president is on the television. Luckily, I have the Boondocks on the DVR.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I ran through my Boondocks yesterday (the premiere had rolled off the TiVo) and thought it quite interesting. Not hysterical, like I was expecting, but interesting. Hella violent and not optimistic. The latter NSM of a surprise as the former.

I generally want to re-watch the first 5 or 10 minutes, usually because I can't believe they really went there, but the rest nsm.

I know, right? I wasn't expecting the violence.
