Happy birthday, ChiKat!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Example: Eminem is TOTAL beast mode, but Green Day is garb.*
What? Emmett is totally garb.

The status is NOT quo.
My students still say cool.

I hope cool is still cool.

I should add that I have never heard them say raw, beast, or garb, and I suspect they'd make fun of anyone who did. Maybe it's an LA thing?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I think cool has moved out of slang and is just a part of casual speech now.
Beer bread with TJ pumpkin butter . Two thumbs up. Or eight if you want to count very one at breakfast today. ditto lemon bread.

Coffee:
OMG people, I need to be productive today and am SO uninspired. I think maybe I should start a pot of coffee.

This too shall pass.

I haven't heard these either. Tight, yes. And other things I can't think of at the moment.
Grammar fans should enjoy the training experience I had Friday. I had a training session with one of my doctors for writing notes. I had already noticed that his notes were much more coherent than many of his colleagues when he picked out a single 'were' and declared that he had to change it to 'are' to match the tense of the rest of the note. I commented that his notes were grammatically superior to many I had seen and he took pride in telling me of starting out in an English major before medical school. I then mentioned that he was clearly a fan of the serial comma when he got excited and said it was essential for clarity. A most unusual conversation with a physician for me. They are usually casual to the extreme with the grammar.

Laura, we saw erinaceous today (and her husband) and I told her that you used Wordnik as your first dictionary stop. She was very pleased.
