Right, on Mad Men? "Sinjin"? Who the fuck is that? Is he a genie?
I believe I learned that one from View to a Kill.
Ooh! Scion. SKY-un.
Fortunately neither of those really ever came up outside of novels.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, that just reminded me of my Trixie Belden word -- jalopy.

Scion. SKY-un.
Ooh. That one often trips me up.
I just heard on the news a mispronunciation that drives me crazy, that I hear in some locals around here: Fustrating for Frustrating.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I think I must have picked up seneschal from fantasy novels. I just looked up how to pronounce it earlier, and have already forgotten.

Brenda, shame you can't be with me! Even more annoying--I'm sitting on the steps (which are pebbled, and OW) because the advertised WiFi doesn't reach my room. Hrmph.
...I do rather prefer this weather to Seattle's current weather, though! I just wish I had someone with me to talk to.

You know, meara, this is why I've never gone on vacation by myself! Exactly this fear. I vote you hang out at the bar until you make friends.

For those of you following at home, today is the sixth anniversary of Emmett breaking his nose playing baseball.
Which apparently is also billytea's wedding anniversary.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like vacationing by myself. But I gotta keep moving.
I made the Nutella mug cake again, this time with Nutella. It's pretty freaking rewarding for a six minute exercise.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
H'm. I've got Nutella at home, and a mug and a microwave at work. Clearly something needs to be done about this.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I started taking more adventur-y vacations after one in Cancun. But it's still enjoyable! Plus I've never been so tan.
Sara, I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of relieved that NOVA is like the one of our shows I don't feel like I need to be watching, but I'm really glad you are!
I've decided NOVA has the biggest peak-to-trough of any show on the air. Some episodes are fantastic. Some are so incredibly, incredibly awkward and boring, I can't imagine who the audience is (and I love science docs!).
