That's so interesting, meara. How do you feel about hard and soft c?
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

It is a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story.
Yup. As I like to say, I like my gifs like I like my gin, smooth on the tongue.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I put Ben-Gay on the part of my neck that was hurting before I went to bed, and it seems to be a bit better. Stupid stress...
I have some bruises on the side of my right foot from where I banged it into a chair yesterday.(I was trying to get to the main light in the dark.) It's always something.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And do we call it Ben-Jay? We do not.

I'm just going to say it as Giraffic Interchange Format from now on.
I'm literally going to say the whole thing every time. You watch.
Prubs has guinea pig surgery tomorrow. On the plus side, even though it's expensive, we can afford it. On the negative side, I can't quite imagine a little tiny critter getting surgery and being okay.
I mean, it's just removing (we think) a fatty tumor but it would be extremely sad if we lost her. She's a sweet little pig.

Teeny tiny surgery! I’m imagining all the teeny tiny instruments they must use!!
Is hard c like K and soft c like s? Because J seems more a “hard” sound to me than guh (akin to the bouba vs kiki experiment?)

Yep!
Prubs~ma! That is amazing that they can do surgery on guinea pigs.
I am now imagining a Giraffic Park scenario with giraffes instead of dinosaurs, I guess?

I had a feeling I was stealing that phrase from somewhere, but all I could think of was the reference to pygmy Sicilian elephants I saw the other day...

(Thank you, Steph!)
There was just a turkey in my (well, neighbor's) tree. Way up high! A turkey! Pretty sure I've never seen a turkey in person before, so that's exciting to begin wit, but... in a tree! You know the phrase tat immediately came to mind, of course.
Anyway, I saw it fly safely to the ground, so that was good.
