Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Never mind. They just fixed it. I'll try to find the cached version.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Here's the old version of the Kuzui page. Is SA still in school? The IP address came from her uni.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My maiden name and middle name are not at all Americanized (except insofar as they are transliterated), just very seriously mispronounced my whole life. In odd ways, because there's really no reason to randomly replace perfectly good vowels with schwa's that you wouldn't do in regular English. It just must be that the foreign panic button kicks in and suddenly all letters are incomprehensible.

Really, how is it possible to pronounce U I O and A all the same and wrong?

Anyway, my married name probably is Americanized although likely from the German so apparently not according to this thread. But his family has no idea where they're from and apparently no interest in it, so that's probably all I'll ever know.

Hee to the Kuzui page.

So she's planning to make a movie set in the Buffyverse with no involvement from Whedon? Good luck with that. I don't think Buffy is that big of a cultural phenomenon to do a reboot with a strategy likely to turn off much of the fanbase.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

The whole Sotomayor pronunciation thing makes me want to add back the double vowels and whatnot to my last name to re-Finnish-ize it.

Congrats on the new house, d!

I think Mark Krikorian should immediately start going by Mark Gregory like a real American or StFU.
