Also, St. Louis, MO, which the founders probably didn't expect people to pronounce, "Saint Lewis".
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Humm. They're showing La Traviata free in the park in Tel Aviv on Thursday, only I'm supposed to show my CSer Jerusalem that day (and I thought about taking her to see an outdoor screening of Princess Bride).
Dilemma, unless she hates free operas or The Princess Bride.
And if she hates The Princess Bride, I'm not sure I wanna host her.
But... free opera! In the park! So what if it's gonna be hot as hell?
Finished groceries shopping, and now compiling a list of the things I forgot + the buns that's awesome and fresh to pick up from the store in the morning. And then, cleaning. And then, getting back to the my arch nemesis Excel file. And I still want to watch a Buffy ep and read tonight (Innocent Blood, P.D. James, very very very good). Better start with the cleaning, then. Sigh. Evil Excel file.

I think I pronounce Lewis and Louis almost the same way. What am I missing?

Is Worcester generally pronounced "wooster", or is that a weird NE thing (we're also good at mangling French and Native American words)?
By the reverse, it took me forever to figure out when I heard "sinjun" on various BBC programs, it was "St. John".

Me too. I don't think it was until I saw a Jane Eyre production from PBS. Which may have been when I was 16.

Good lord, I hope no one say that typo.

I just realized I am wearing a skirt that I've had since I was 19. And that was 14 years ago. I guess it is sort of classic?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
All my clothes wear out much faster than that.
Hmmm... wait, I think I have a few t-shirts that old.
