*chuckle*
Ok that was better than April Fool's Day methinks. I really didn't expect to befuddle you all that way.heee, twas fun.Just being silly in honor of Lewis Carroll.
It was RABBIT HOLE DAY remember? JAN.27th???? *chuckle* you guyyys....tsk-tsk.
Alrighty, so instead of out and out absurdity I made lil half-truths to have you stumble about a bit. Yes an old bmw 2002 sits in the garage, waiting for the resurrection of the seawreck-like motor... But no, I didn't magically fix it. It sits. and Sits. And stores our boxes in its trunk.That part I mostly wrote for B himself (I left the post up on his computer and when he came home he was like WHATTTT??? You did WHAT???!! and after laughing myself silly I had to break it to him that no...it wasn't true...I'm so sorry...etc..it's this 'rabbit hole day' thing...I was just playin....I didn't become a stupendous car-mechanic overnight...or a gourmet cook for that matter...but um...look!I..make things...and I-I can reeead and a whole buncha other things!:)*sigh* he still loves me.
Now the welding part...well, actually I DO know how to weld...used to use both an arc welder and the oxy-acetylene for metal sculpture....but nooooo I DON'T have some new job that I didn't tell you about working on a team of welders (though I do think a lil hello kitty patch on a good fitting uniform would be superbly sexEH don't you?)
Ok but back to the post:
The 'it's finally warm enough' part? Come ON now, it's freeekin FREEEEZINNNG over here!! FREEEEZING I tell you. And there are NO good dancing places around here. NONE. It Kills me.And it's so cold if I WERE to have an occassion to dress up I don't know how the heck I would because you really can't get me into less than three layers or to give up my warm welly boots. So I'm being a sarCAStic lil rabbit, ok?
I'm hibernating til spring. Y'all can come thaw me out then.
PS: CLEVEREST BUNNY AWARD goes to 'doesn't miss a stitch'![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The U.S. reaction to 9/11 reminded me of a specific passage. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/spacemummy/48581.html)

yes YES!, the immune response..SOOO appropriate. *sigh* i can read that book over and over and each time be surprised at its brilliance.

Thomas is a big inspiration. His book about language is just as fun, branching journeys down etymological paths. I love the style, the accumulation of idea and his often winsome reflections. Wonderous stuff.
I buy every used copy I ever find. Given away at least four. But still have the one I first bought. Sometimes I flip it open and read a random essay.

yep. my own copy is sorely beat up and has no cover.
Which book on language are you referring to?
