You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

ita, the E600 that msbelle linked to is usually available at Michael's. I think that Bourget Bros. in Santa Monica carries it too, but I dunno if they have a retail store any more (it's been a long time since I could do any beadwork).

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

I think that Bourget Bros. in Santa Monica carries it too

I have never heard of them. Will google. Okay, they are no more. Sad for a store I never knew...

Looks like there's a Michaels in Santa Monica. Score!

And now to nap.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I have been on the lookout for a scrubber with a long handle and haven't seen one. Alas.

You could use a toilet scrubber that you just NEVER EVER NEVERNONEVEREVERNEVERNEVERNEVER stick in the toilet.

Hivemind query: do you know what the word "comparanda" means? Do you find it odd? I got a phone call from a colleague asking me what it meant after I used it in a document, and I'm wondering which of us is out of step.

Unrelatedly, is it FAIR that we should be interviewing 10 candidates for 2 internships next week? Like I don't have anything to do with my time!

Never heard it before, not quite sure what it would mean. I first assumed it was spanish.

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

Comparanda I would guess at on the similar example of corrigenda: items to compare. (Corrigenda are items to correct.)

Latin, baby!

The number of people who don't even understand when I say "indices" instead of "indexes" is kind of freaky to me. I didn't even take Latin as a language; you just pick this stuff up when you work with books. Or, some people do. I had to explain what recto and verso mean the other day.

I have no idea what comparanda are, but I may have been able to noodle it out by context. I, too thought it was Spanish.

I have *no idea* what recto and verso mean.

Also, neither my Spanish nor English dictionary recognizes comparanda.
