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?
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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 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?

Somewhere, in an alternate reality where we are all good people. But in this reality, we're bad people and are being punished.
Not over yet. I've done quite a bit of work though, so maybe it should be.

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.)
