Gotta go.
This morning's meeting meant that there was no way I'm gonna finish this project today. So now, since I gotta be in the People's Republic of Charlottesville all day Monday, the project has to wait until Tuesday to be finished.
PLUS, the van is NOT ready. They're giving us a rental for the weekend. So I gotta go get that.
See y'all sometime...
Yeah - she appears to have got something growing on her face.
Should we take offense at Corin's quip?
Yes'm, I sure did. But, but, but the "timing" is suspicious!
Yeesh!
We're girls. Should we have said, "Oooh, yes, please post more like that!"?
Read it again.
Rush reading the thread. Dreaming about girls.
Makes perfect sense.
Just got back from the movie; catching up here.
Oops, guess I'd better clarify my previous remarks on the pronunciation of "Evangelion". When I said was pronounced like the original Greek before, I meant it kind of generally rather than precisely, and yes, technically the "g" sound should be semi-hard rather than pronounced like "j". The actual word looks like what would be rendered literally in English as "eu'-ag-gel'-ion" (approximately, without reproducing the actual Greek characters), which comes from the prefix "eu" meaning "good" (like in "euphoria") and the root word "aggelia" (meaning "news" and related to a verb form meaning "to announce"--it's the same root the word "angel" comes from), which together mean literally "good news"="gospel". However when you transliterate the dipthong "eu" (epsilon upsilon, with each vowel sounded separately) into Latin it looks like an "ev", which is why the English spelling starts with "ev". Also, when you have a double "g" (double gamma) in Greek it's pronounced like the "ng" sound in "finger", which is where the semi-hard "g" comes from; however you'll often hear this pronounced with an ellision so that it sounds more like a "j" (like in the word "angel").
Hope that's better! Gonna eat supper here; will finish catching up later.
Thanks, Corin.
Current temp here... 97
Current temp in Phoenix... 98
Ugh. We are getting ~miserable~ here in our little cardboard house, so we're heading out to find an air-conditioned restaurant to hang out in. Be back later!
"We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave..."
Heh. I'm listening to the Cubs/Phillies game. Apparently the umpires couldn't make it in due to the weather so they've hired local amateur umpires for the game. Hope nothing series happens.
"Ugh. We are getting ~miserable~"
That's a play by Victor Hugo, right? :)
Current temperature here. . .62 and falling. . .
"Hope nothing series happens."
What about the World Series? :)
I'll check if I can find WGN this time--couldn't find it last time, too many channels on this satellite dish. . .
I listen to the MLB feed on the internet.
Hey! I'm here! Seriesly, wonder what's up with Rush?
I'm soakin' my feet. Got a lot done today. No chest pain, no shakiness.
Maybe he needs some chamomille?
I've been packing. Got to get some big boxes for my clothes, but I'm definitely making progress. My dvd collection is packed... my artwork is packed...
Sounds like you're well on your way! How exciting!
I shoulda made myself some chamomile, OT...got some whole blossoms.
I still have to unpack. Looks like I need the food mill after all...and I haven't found my DE poster yet. It's probably in with the pictures. And I still have some pantry items to put up....and the boxes with the dinnerware that didn't make it to the cabinets need to be put somewhere else....
