You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

This must be how Hec feels when people post about cats.

This is so me.

Hi people! I'm writing a quiz. Any good distractors of lit terms to go with synecdoche and allusion? Please to help.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

metonomy? I aways get it mixed up with synechdoche because of the syllables. I also get synechdoche mixed up with Schnectady.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Alliteration?

I haven't taught metonymy in part because I screw it up. I use synedoche generically for both (and Laurence Perrine from Sound and Sense tells me that's okay!)

Alliteration could work. But I think I need a meaning distractor and not a sound one.

ita, I was watching Tennis, then I switched to Emma - now I'm back on Tennis and trying to decide whether I should record the Federer/Hewitt match that is going to be on sometime after 2 am.

By this I mean, that I missed the end of Venus' match.

This morning I tore half my eyelashes out when I was curling them and was startled by the sound of a limb cracking and falling outside (not on our property, but the neighbors).

IOW, ouch.

Also, my computer has a virus and the computer person keeps saying "I've never seen that before."

IOW, sigh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ouch, Sparky.
