I solemnly swear ...

... not to start any new "fun" books until this semester is over. Really. I'm not going to start any more. Because they call to me in that suggestive way and I cannot resist them. And then, I don't get any school work done.





Oh, and here's something fun. I keep a list of words that I come across where I have NO IDEA of their meaning. And someday, I'm going to look them all up. But for right now, here's my list (you should post if you know the meanings of any of these):
morass
Zeugma
antediluvian
Chicaneries
Pedantic
aplomb
doppelganger
apropos
floatsam and jetsam

I used to have hubris in there, but I took that out. I've learned more than enough about hubris in the past two months.

Posting a funny clip and then complaining (but not about the clip)

Oh, my my my my my my. I guess the title should be "Complaining about stuff and THEN posting a funny clip". I need to get outside and plant my 100 bulbs so that springtime will be full of tulips and daffodils instead of just mud and wind. Instead, I'm stuck in that mopey mood where I sigh a lot and fuss about the large amount of unfriendly housework and difficult schoolwork and frustrating parenting that needs to be done. And, surprisingly enough, fussing about it doesn't make it get done. That's the bad part.

I did a presentation in my editing class about relationships between editors and writers and I found this little gem. Funny funny funny.



And now it's time for me to return to the moping part of my day.
