Bloglet, the gentleman's mock turtle soup --
Moss made it sweeter than myrrh ash and dhoup


My laptop's mouse appears not to be working. This is worrisome. However, because I am leet, I just managed to transcribe half a class, read blogs and email, and compose this entry without it. I still want it back. _

Julia did it, Gillen did it -- bandwagons away!

These are the first 10 songs that came up on my Gigabeat (excluding foreign language and instrumentals) that I actually would have gotten, if I'd been playing:

1. And I'm reviewing my life cowered under a grease trap. MC Frontalot and Kompressor, Rappers We Crush. Guessed by Martin.
2. I don't get out so much since I acquired St. Vitus's Dance.
3. He'd been a river gambler on the Ballachulish Ferry. The Corries, The Portree Kid. Guessed by Libby.
4. You were my glass menagerie. Did you not find that odd? The Magnetic Fields, Not That Crazy. Guessed by Tim.
5. And more new diseases besides the French Pox.
6. And the radio is playing opera. All she ever says is, "Go to hell." Tom Waits, Cemetery Polka. Guessed by Anne.
7. All suffused with an incandescent glow. Tom Lehrer, We Will All Go Together. Guessed by Neil.
8. Now, Greenland is a dreadful place, a place that's never green. Van Dyke Parks, Greenland Whale Fisheries. Guessed by Libby.
9. And someone at least should have tried, so now to her rescue I ride. Leslie Fish and Heather Alexander, Kerowyn's Ride. Guessed by 'B.
10. She said, "Young man, you're in great haste." Robert Shaw Chorale, Go No More A-Roving. Guessed by K. _

I just submitted my invoice for the last two weeks to the Pratt Institute, and I got the following Google Ad:

"BRIS Mohel Brit Comfort
- www.simohel.com -
Certified MOHEL Rabbi A. Rubin
Your son's bris with comfort & care."

Is Google trying to tell me I'm in the wrong line of work? _

K. and I just laughed ourselves sick at what Samuel Pepys had for breakfast today. This is because we are twelve. (And, um, have seen Revenge of the Nerds. Please don't tell anybody.) Seriously. Cannot. Breathe. _

Not a boundary error, but a misstroke:

"maturity" came out "moo turret".

We have already got one! It's very nice. _

While preparing for Taxation of Financial Instruments, I just very nearly defined "Standard and Poor" as "Standard and Poof". Oh, if only. _

People sing in this neighborhood. I went and got stuff for breakfast and the girl at the cash register was singing along, off-key, to the cheesy love song playing over the PA system, and then I was waiting for the elevator and an old lady came out of her apartment singing, went and got her mail, and then went back into her apartment, still singing. I love where I live. _

I quoted Pope's Dog Collar Epigram at K. in bed last night.

She heard: "I am a sinus's dogged cue."

Confusion reigned. _
