That has nothing to do with anything, really — I was watching the Rugrats with my sister.
The other day I overheard someone say “What this one has is no hinge” (about a turtle, or a tortoise, or something, compared with a sea turtle that had one). I’m quite sure I’ve heard things like that before, […]
In the grocery store the first night here, I saw a brand of ice cream I’ve never seen before. It’s called Valhalla, from Norway, obviously, and all its flavours are named after gods.
Yes, we like Thor’s Chocolate Choc, or Freya’s Pure Vanilla. Loke’s Pecan Caramel feels appropriate, while Frigg’s Irish Cream doesn’t. But we know […]
Off on vacation until, or so, Jan 3. Blogging might happen until then, or it might not. Expect, however, a huge honking group of backdated posts on or around Jan 3 (the date is likely to be familiar) from the new computer I can’t bring myself to be excited about.
How to tell, at a glance, what parts of slush are 15 centimeters of almost-liquid, and what you can walk on without soaking your socks.
My sister dropped my computer. Who needs a screen, right?

I submitted the stupid paper and drove home. For once, I didn’t need to make 50 million stops to sleep. I also got very little of my book read (Ruth Rendell, The babes in the wood), but I did listen a fair bit to Jann Arden’s Happy?, which is a nice cd. In the “very […]
I’m an apparently intelligent, liberal, not-too-generous, not-too-selfish, relatively well adjusted human being!See how compatible you are with me!Brought to you by Rum and Monkey
Which Historical Lunatic Are You?From the fecund loins of Rum and Monkey.
Born with the name of Otto, you became Ludwig at the request of your grandfather, King Ludwig I, because you were born on his birthday. You became Crown Prince at the tender age of 3, and soon after stole a purse from a shop […]
I have nothing else intelligent to say. I am now making it sound like I — oh wonderful me! — solved the mysteries of Tagalog voicing and determiners. This is of course because I simplified things, and made -um- (well, mag-; for reasons which are unclear to me, this verb prefers mag-) and -in only […]
