the schedule is still hectic, but less involved projects. Plus as of yesterday I have some help.
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.

Good to read.
Regardless, could you please explain your tagline?

Oh, they're great! And you're definitely both. Does the dictionary also say how you pronounce them? I need to know, for when I look for opportunities to combine them in conversations (um, not that I get to converse a lot in English, but I can always plan ahead).

no pronuncian on the calendar. M-w.com says :
Pronunciation: 'sel-"küth
Pronunciation: "ka-l&-'pi-j(E-)&n

Thanks! New words! Yay!
(I need to Google and find the meaning behind the pronunciation symbols. I need to do it for a little forever, because I keep needing that, but I never do. Oh, well.)

What is even happening?
Nilly, if you go to Dictionary.com and look up a word, after they write out the pronounciation of a word, you'll see a link with the text "Pronounciation Key". If you click that, a little window will pop up that explains the symbols.
Here, go to callipygian: [link]
The site does have a sound file, but it's only available to for-pay users (which I'm not, so I can't help, there).

Thanks, Cindy! I'm usually using either m-w or answers.com (um, when I'm not looking straight for an Hebrew translation, or when the English-Hebrew dictionaries fail, which happens more often than not, sadly enough). Now, I have another link.

I had just assumed callipygian was derived from Calypso, Odysseus' lover, and pronounced it accordingly.
I want bagels for breakfast, but that would mean running out to buy some. Hmmm.
