Xander ,'Beneath You'
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.
I have a friend whose niece sings and dances up and down the aisles of Trader Joe's. She's five - it sounds cute.
When I was three or so I kept dancing in the grocery store. My Mom said, "Trudy, you're not supposed to dance in the grocery store." "Then why are they playing music?!?!?"
She let me keep dancing.
ohmygod. That cake!
Thing that made me smile most recently? yoga!
And watching a guy from Togo kick ass on the kayaking course. Very cool.
Singing in a grocery store or anywhere else that people are moving around freely is different than something like a gym or airport or waiting room (or, for the love of god, in the office) where you're more or less stuck in one spot.
Oooh, I dvr'd today's Olympics just so I could watch the whitewater kayaking. I'm so looking forward to seeing it!
It's not as annoying as singing, but several people at the Y have the volume so loud on their iPods that the music leaks around their ears.
Help! My brain is failing. Doesn't @ have a more formal name than "at sign?"
The quiet car on Amtrak specifies "working" headphones for any electronics. It's an important distinction.
Ginger, I've been meaning to ask when I saw you on the board the same time as I was - is there news about Bicyclops? If you posted something after the beep me item, I missed it.
Doesn't @ have a more formal name than "at sign?"
"eyeroll sign"? (But seriously: not really. At sign, or At symbol, or the never-heard-it-before Commercial At but nothing fancy and latinate: [link] . Also, some of the non-English names for it at the bottom are awesome.)
I seriously think that the @@ emoticon may be our greatest linguistic legacy.
