Of course I also never expected to define the word "polyglot", complete with explanation of the root word glottis, while hanging lights in a theatre. Which happened today.
I love hanging lights. This is why.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Of course there was the alternate definition of "someone who is very popular at lesbian parties".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My National Geographic swab thingy shipped! I was so expecting backordered to mean forever!
I can't wait to swab myself. Or perhaps I shall have a friend do it and pretend it's Warrick from CSI. Whatever.

Mine did too!
Look at it this way, if they were swabbing you on CSI, you'd either be dead or a suspect.

Swouncing
What's the advantage of being in a different timezone, if I *still* have to wait for news? Usually, I get to miss them, and don't have to wait for them, but now I'm going to do both.
Because, of course, Jess and Fone Bone's baby is all about meMeME. Clearly.
In other, a little less self-centered news, since I don't know when I'll get to be near a computer again until after the weekend (I hope I will, but just in case), I'll post already that according to the Buffista Calendar, Saturday, the 16th, will be askye's birthday, and send her already early wishes for a great day and a wonderful year.

Kitty-travel-ma for Raq's travelling diplocat, and regular kitty-kidney-ma for Teddy today.
It's a sign of how foggy my brain is this morning that I can't remember what the word is for when you rearrange the letters in one word to form another word....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Anagram?

This! Choose this!
That ancestry thingie is so cool; I'm going to be all nosy about Theo and ita's experience with it, because I totally want to do it.
And, I'm off.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anagram?
An anagram of a word is the word spelled backwards, right?
The anagram of anagram is margana.
eta: Nope, I'm thinking of palindrome. Obviously I have not had my enieffac.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Not necessarily spelled backwards - just with the letters rearranged.
