Bloglet, the gentleman's mock turtle soup -- Moss made it sweeter than myrrh ash and dhoup
Dear Eminem: The past tense form of the verb "succumb" is not, I'm sorry to say, "succame".
Dear travel show host: "Provencal" is not pronounced to rhyme with "tonsil".
Thank you.

I've been lying here
My hands gouging my pillow
I'm not asleep yet

I just now realized there was a difference between complaisant and complacent. D'oh.

Mirabai, you are a previously undiscovered species of limpet named L. rosifloydia because the scientists who discovered you had been up all the night before partying and couldn't think of any actual biologists to name you after so they decided to name you after Pink Floyd instead. (You scored higher than 86% on limpetness, higher than 59% on undiscoveredness, and higher than 84% on named by hungover scientistsness.)
I have never been more flattered in my life.

No fair! They stole my blogswap title! Oh well. At least the tracklist is finally finished, you'll be glad to know. K.'s CDs are all burned, and I'm printing the last of the covers as I write this. Today I'll burn my discs, think of another title (grrr), and design the cover and disc label. They're going out very, very soon! Many apologies for the delay.

And to think-- before coming here, I had never even heard of the strange New York delicacy known as Egnchisonrol.

"No, you are not Mrs. Phillotson," murmured Jude. "You are dear, free Sue Bridehead, only you don't know it! Wifedom has not yet squashed up and digested you in its vast maw as an atom which has no further individuality."
Hey, come on, Thomas-- tell us how you really feel.

Bita means a piece of land as soft as cattle hair felt in Tibet language.
Remind me to tell you guys the story our friend Pasang told my dad yesterday, which he told me last night. It's a good one.

As long as I'm pimping Eudaimonia software, I may as well give y'all one more. In my continuing quest to turn into a grownup, I've started (shock, horror) keeping track of my expenses. Nothing so stultifying as drawing up a budget or anything (yet), but I kind of want to be able to watch how much I'm spending on takeout versus groceries, electronics versus furniture. To that end, I downloaded AceMoney Lite. The freeware version (which I'm using) only lets you keep track of one bank account (which is all I need), but is otherwise unimpinged upon, and it's a nice little system, with intuitive keyboard shortcuts, pie charts, both pre-itemized and customizable categories, and whatever else could possibly help to make the whole process less drearily banausic. So hey. It's not a plugin for emacs (I'm just not that cool (`;), but maybe some of you will find it handy.

There actually is a female-to-male transvestite clothing store in Brooklyn. It's all a little campy diesel for my taste-- I'm not so into catch phrases, and have no idea what "preppy pirate" is supposed to mean, but if it used to be golf pants, it ain't going on my arrrse-- and I've never called myself a "boi", lord help me. Still! The sizing information, at the very least, is helpful. I think I'm gonna have to go check it out sometime, just to see. God bless this city.
