It's because Brits! Like Beauchamp.
How do they say that?
River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems. Mal: See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like.

Punishingly Intricate
So sorry, Jesse.
I'm struggling to not take a second nap today. I need to get off the couch and cut up strawberries to bring to my friends tonight. I'm bringing strawberries and rhubarb syrup and whipped coconut milk. And picking up ice cream for the non vegans to make sundaes. Easy but I think it should be delicious.
Speaking of cat pee, I think we need to add a litter box upstairs. One of the kittens has peed on the bed twice I think because the litter box was too far away in the basement. Sigh. CATS!

Beauchamp is "Beechum" in Britain, as opposed to French "Boh shahm."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Jesse.
My concert is done, and I survived. Yay.

Because books.
I remember in The Buccaneers, one of the character's names -- Brightlingsea -- was pronounced "brittle-see," which amazed me. The Brits elide all kinds of letters.

My original impulse was to spell Chumley's name as Cholmondeley, but then I realized it would mean a Conversation every time I was at the vet, et cetera.
(Much to my surprise, or maybe I shouldn't because Somerville, there are three other Chumleys registered at my vet's, two cats and a rabbit.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Beauchamp
Said a bad little youngster named Beauchamp
"Those jelly-rolls, how shall I reauchamp?
To my parents I'd go,
But they always say 'No,'
No matter how much I beseauchamp."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am so sorry, Jesse.
