the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Usually the subject line is the name of the person/pet, and a terse single line inside.

Oh god, he and my mom should start a club! Only she just goes one step further and just puts in the subject line "Uncle Woody died."

Like I want to click that e-mail.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BT, the French thing was mainly a second language familiarity. Why would you tack 'way' on the end of it anyway? Also, she was irritating.

Heh. In hindsight, I should have been more curious why people always seemed to say "segue-way" and never just "segue". It's a bit of a giveaway. In my defence, this is the same "people" that replaces "tenets" with "tenants" and thinks "alot" is a perfectly cromulent word.

In conclusion, It's not "mare", Jude-a-Murph, it's "may-or".

It would be better if he put it all in the subject line...

Scrubbed out the indoor recycling bin. Considering everything I put in there has been washed and/or is dry to begin with, it gets remarkably gross.

Compassionately intolerant

I already started trying to feed Oz pumpkin this weekend, as a low fat replacement for some of his food. It's not going that well, but if he's hungry enough, he'll eat it.

Tuna water or chicken broth might help make the pumpkin more appealing.

For dogs, I recommend green beans and other fiber-y veggies as low cal fillers.

Art Crawl!!!

I felt so smart, like when I figured out a "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" question that "karaoke" means "empty orchestra" because it has the same first syllable as "karate,", which means "empty hand."

You know, unless you have the kanji you can't really be sure that a similar syllable means the same thing. . .

Whoa. Lightning! And Loki noticed the thunder. He interrupted his kneading session.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

In one of the Anne of Green Gables books, there's a pretentious mother who insists on calling her son St. Clair. (His real name is Jacob, but that's a long story.) After I learned the right way to pronounce St. John, I wondered if St. Clair was supposed to be pronounced Sinclair.

Because books.

We're having thunder and lightning here, too, sara. And tomorrow snow, or so they tell me.

hip deep in pie

St. Clair was supposed to be pronounced Sinclair.

Yep. There's a local historian with the name St. Clair. whose name I used to see at work. For years, I didn't realize my friend's friend "Sinclair" was that historian.
