Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Not sure if I'd want to see the movie described in this xkcd: Outbreak

I'd like to see that movie!

Quick question: Prof. Juan Silva-Martinez. Someone has referred to him as Prof. Martinez. Is that wrong, or okay?

That's not quite a "meet cute."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's not quite a "meet cute."

It's my kind of meet cute.

I cannot find my security badge this morning.

Grr.

On the up side, it's boots day (juliana Caterpillars, denim blue lace-up work-style almost to the knee). So that's something. Now to move my car out of the paid parking and buy myself some breakfast.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Someone has referred to him as Prof. Martinez. Is that wrong, or okay?

I don't think it's right, but it might also be a mistake that he's used to.

So, is today over yet? How about now?

Now?

My nephew has decided to go to college at ETSU and follow his Bluegrass music dream. I don't suppose anyone here is anywhere near Johnson City, TN?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Growing up in Maryland I was raised to say AppaLAYshun, but a friend of mine in college who grew up in Tennessee convinced me it was AppaLATCHen and I've never been able to go back.

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

So, is today over yet? How about now?

Somewhere, in an alternate reality where we are all good people. But in this reality, we're bad people and are being punished.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Not over yet. I've done quite a bit of work though, so maybe it should be.

Thanks, Dana. I decided to change it and err on the side of caution.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Growing up in Maryland I was raised to say AppaLAYshun, but a friend of mine in college who grew up in Tennessee convinced me it was AppaLATCHen and I've never been able to go back.

I live within hollerin' distance of the Appalachians, and the version I hear 98% of the time is AppaLAYshun.

But we also have 2 neighborhoods in the city that people pronounce 2 different ways, so we're unreliable like that.

Cheviot = (1) SHEV-eeyut, (2) SHIV-ee-ut.

Mariemont = (1) Ma-REE-mont, (2) MARY-mont.

I say it the first way in both cases. (My brother is a smart ass and pronounces Cheviot as faux-French: SHEV-wah.)
