What is a noun version of the word "vivid?"

Vividity? Vivacity?

I like vividity. Got no idea if it's right, but it should be.

Clarity? Or does it actually need to be a form of "vivid"?

I don't know about you, but I want those shoes, Strega.

Good enough! I have a terrible time judging what shoes look like when they're actually on someone's feet. There are some that I think are hideous until I see someone wearing them.

Oh, the bday isn't for weeks. Which is one of the problems, I suppose.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Ohhh.. vividity. Perfect!

Thank you! I knew I could count on y'all.

I'm finishing up my final portfolio for class. It's due tomorrow and I know I won't have time to work on it tomorrow during the day. It's going to be too too busy at, well, work.

I learnt it from TV.

I learnt it from... I actually don't know. Not tv ads. The most recent I can come up with is a romance novel. Of the stupid kind. In relation to a villain, not the hero, in any case. But still. Kids all around are learning it from Cialis or whatever.

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 just neglected the parts that weren't prurient.

Seems odd that Wikipedia would skip the best parts.

Then again, I could probably stand to watch a lot less TV since I dreamed about Lorelai and Rory Gilmore the other night.

Man, last night I dreamed that I was at a gala or some similar event requiring formal attire, and I was in a very heated argument with Mel Gibson. I even told him, "Look, you're very handsome in your white tie, but you're still a bigoted asshole."

Odd. Accurate, yes, but odd.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Seems odd that Wikipedia would skip the best parts.

It's not widely reported. You will note the big gap in the 70s in her history, and that she went from nun to Lesbian drug suicide so you could infer that she went through some changes in the intervening years.

But this is not something I picked up in idle bar chatter, but was a big article in one of the local newsweeklies, though back in the early 90s or late 80s, so perhaps not available through online searching.

Strega, the shoes are super cute.

Steph, if you ever get to meet Mel Gibson, promise me you'll say that.

Best overheard of a fellow teacher at the training I was at, "Hey, if a kid wants to learn something, that's not my problem."
