spection

Quand je parle en français le monde ne semble plus mauvais. Mais, si je parle en français seulement deux personnes peuvent me comprendre.

C'est la vie. C'est la guerre. C'est la underwear.

You heard it here first.

I have created a new word: oinkadoinkdoinks. Used to describe our nation's tendency to eat or talk about eating or think about eating all of the time. Thanks to Kim (who has lost a bunch of weight) for inspiring me, and thanks to Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott for her badonkadonkdonk.




Currently this post and my comment on Kim's blog serve as the only references to that word in Google. I CALL FIRST! Which means I have now officially invented something. Yay, me!

I do proofread. Just nefariously.

I wonder how much it annoys colleagues that I send out emails with blatant errors in them then within 15 seconds I have sent a correction message. I'm sure they're always screaming at the screen, "WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY THAT THE FIRST TIME?!?!"

I secretly like to spread misinformation. That's why.


Any other questions?

Worth your time

A's non-traditional vegan Easter meal spread. :)



...and totally not related, I've been playing Chinese vs. Japanese in instant message with a colleague all morning and we started talking about sharing our iTunes collections. I explained why I don't do this, because I don't want to have to edit my song names, that "people swear, that's life," and in response he sent me Pop Muzik Mashup -Exactshit:



He rawks. :) Ironically, he does not know my secret blog identity, so it's only funny to me that he sent me something poppy. :)

pedantic

You know how sometimes you can read a dictionary entry all you want and you still don't absorb the essence of the word? That's my pedantic. Please: give me a definition of pedantic; give me examples of its usage; tell me who in your life fits that word. (Gecko? A little help?)

Contrary to having been around the block several times, reading the dictionary as a child, and aspiring to be an intellectual, my English language vocabulary is quite average. I instead focused on growing the same base vocabulary in 6 other languages (French, Spanish, German, Mandarin, Italian, and ASL; I also dabbled briefly in Arabic but had to stop when I could speak it but not read it) rather than expanding my one native language. I'm quirky that way.
