trans...something.
Isn't there a word for when you force your alphabet to someone else's oral language? Like what you do to get romaji?
eta: No, I guess that is transliteration, 'cause it's going from pictographs to roman letters, both written. Hmm.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Transubstantiation?

Trans fatty acids?
I think Trudy is right. Transcription is writing down something that was oral.

I need a nap like burning. And to spork some people. But I can't, so instead I'm going to listen to the Pixies REALLY LOUD.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Paperdol, is there a Buy Buy Baby or Babies R' Us near you? You should be able to find a car seat base at either. Target might also have them, but IME their in-store inventory is pretty shabby.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's been a slow natter day.
So this morning, I got up, looked at the clothes I'd picked out last night, and thought "I am too tired to put on a skirt."
How do you guys get dressed for work? (minus two points to anyone who says "one leg at a time.") Do you pick your clothes out the night before? Do you wait and see what you feel like when you wake up?

i'm lucky, Dana. i can wear jeans every day if i want to. some mornings it's still a struggle to find a shirt i want to wear and i usually just end up throwing something comfortable on.
ION i have my shiny, new ipod and i have named it metallipod.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Paperdol, there's a Babies R Us in West Covina and one in Van Nuys. Like Jessica said, they should have a good stock of bases.

How do you guys get dressed for work?
Usually I check the weather that morning, which helps me decide long/short sleeves, etc. Then I just grab whatever that fits the criteria. Unless there's someone I want to impress, but that hasn't happened in a while....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Do you wait and see what you feel like when you wake up?
I mostly wait and see what I feel like when I wake up, but there are definitely nights where I know the next morning is going to be a dress day. Dress days are the easiest, because there's no matching.
