Ravings of the Semi-Lucid

After finishing the term paper from hell (which is due tomorrow) I have spent my time playing over at Free Rice. I love the word game, and I have gotten up to level 43. Thanks to my reading of some bad erotic romance novels, I was able to ascertain that tumescent means swollen.

So I leave you tonight with this benison: Before you criticise someone iniquitously, it is always best to reconoiter a mile in that person's brogues.

First of all, my guest review for Dear Author has been posted. Go forth and read it.

Second of all, NPR did a story this morning about great science fiction and fantasy books. Sadly, I've not read any of the books they mentioned, although I have a copy of The Forever War TBR one of these days.

Spent most of the day being unproductive. Hung out a bit this morning with laurelian, who I am going to miss. A lot.

I've been reading a lot of stuff lately on the Television without pity message boards regarding those nanny reality shows like "Nanny 911" and "Super Nanny". Discussions of parenting interest me, though I have no desire for a child of my own. Maybe going to work with kids as a future career is viable. Hmmm.

Oh, I ordered some fragrances from Goth Rosary, and they should be arriving soon. I figured it would be good to support someone who actually made their own products... Plus I really just love what I've seen of that site.

In amusing links, I present this brief history of the English from bardiphouka;.
