I have dinner in the oven. Asparagus and sun-dried tomato fritatta type thing. (Vegan, so tofu instead of the eggs.) So far, smells good, though maybe a bit too mustardy.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hey. New board.
That sounds delicious, Hil. And I love your Ragtime quote.
Also, Andi, that example rocks. And now I'm sitting here saying "indefatigable" over and over, in multiple different pronunciations.

But why's it got to be such a daunting prospect to pronounce?
But that's what makes it fun (says the woman who only learned to say in properly a few years ago, from the Horatio Hornblower movies IIRC).

Mostly lurking...
I just learned how to pronounce it when I butchered it on the phone, talking to Deena.

Hey. New board.
The dictionary on my computer agrees, though it uses the ə for the "de" syllable, rather than a long e sound. Otherwise, all the same.

I always use Richard Burton's pronunciation on "The War of the Worlds" as my guide.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Whereas I have "Knights of the Round Table" from Monty Python in my head.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So far today I: went to Home Depot, put a second coat of paint on the kitchen cabinets, painted the pantry wall, cleaned the yard and grocery-shopped, all with my lovely DH.
Tonight we are going out for pizza, followed by going to see my friend Nancy's movie! Yahoo!
Tomorrow, hanging cabinet doors in New!House, couple of hours at the office, and cleaning and laundry at old house.
