And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

YAAAAAAAAAAY msbelle'n'Mac!

I dunno if it's a faux pas to ask in Press, but does anyone have a media bistro account?

I was gonna offer up DH, but it looks like Google came through first. Your editor rocks!

there is no such thing as a cement mixer, and it should properly be known as a "concrete mixer."

Oh, Hebrew got it right then, because that's how we call it (um, with the Hebrew words, of course). It's amazing how kids (of all ages. Um, me included) are fascinated by these trucks.

Nilly, yes. I only know a few key words in Amharic (toilet, for instance).

He knows yummy goes with food. I use hand symbols for going to bed.

English word's he knows: shoes, yummy, hello, sleep, airplane, mom, yes, no, thank you, water, stop, wait.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's a pretty good start, msbelle.

Oh, Hebrew got it right then, because that's how we call it (um, with the Hebrew words, of course).

Yeah, thinking about it, I don't know why we keep calling it a cement mixer, since cement is one thing, part of what makes up concrete.

In other news, I just stumbled on the non-annoying version of Inside The Actors Studio: Movies 101, on AMC.

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

I just discovered ordering pizza online.

Talk about culture gaps for Mac.

Yay, kisses!

Also, great mention, Allyson.

Oh, and about the vegan using cows to plough--if you're the sort of vegan that thinks honey and yeast are crossing a line, labour seems a bit much to ask of the creatures out there.

I'm coming to the conclusion that I just don't understand how my heating system works. Here is how I think it's supposed to work: a. the boiler downstairs is running, my thermostat is set at a temperature, the radiators run to get the apartment to the temperature. When the apartment is at that temperature, they stop running.

Here is how it is working: the thermostat is set at a temperature. The boiler downstairs is working. The radiators run until the boiler is so low that the safety valve shuts it off. I fill up the boiler and we start over.

That can't be right, can it?
