Gah, time for shower and nap. Or nap and shower.

In the mean time: I am having a weird week, people. Comment and give me diversions and I will love you.

I have made up a list, even! Um, because I am the sort of person who makes up lists. Yes.

good topics:

mounties. slash. porn. recipes. books. mp3s. russia. russian. things that sound dirty but aren't. my hair. mocking of people. nice things about me. puffin face! the hotness of: a) ckr; b) season 1 fraser; c) alan cumming; d) the three main stars of king arthur. the obvious lesbian subtext of disney movies. wind-up sushi. non-american candy. canada. things that are sparkly. the land before time. jane austen. movies that i suck for never having seen. office supplies. sekrits. samuel vimes. kittens. which bus stop i switch from the 48 to the 41 at on the way home from safeway. things that smell like coconut. crazy space incest. stories people should write for you. linguistic dorkiness.

...But, you know. Those are just suggestions. You could always write me comment fic. Or ignore me completely!

I'm not sure what's up with me being completely insane this week. I am tempted to blame it on various suspects, but I haven't figured out yet how it can be all their faults at once.

I have wind-up shrimp sushi that I keep on my desk at my office. Well, when I had a desk, and an office, I would keep my wind-up sushi on the desk. That, and a Fargo snowglobe went with me from office to office. They were like my litmus tests of whether or not the people I worked with were cool.


As for linguistic dorkiness: I own the entire Story of English (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6302892058/qid=1097613390/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/002-3662177-8137622?v=glance&s=video&n=507846") series on VHS, and when I watched the behind-the-scenes video I replayed it several times not just b/c I felt like watching CKR (and my how the cameraperson did love him!), but because I kept trying to pick out the various elements of the Canadian accents I was hearing. I am a huge linguistic dork.

(There. Wind-up sushi, linguistic dorkiness and CKR, all in one comment.)

Dude, we watched a couple of the Story of English tapes in my History of the English Language course, but I don't remember any CKR. *jealous*

What? What?

I'm bewildered and completely turned on. CKR was in a series about the English Language?!?

*melts pre-emptively*

Er, no. I fear I was confusing and conflated a couple different things.

Okay, see, I love dialects. LOVE dialects. So this Story of English is, partly, about different dialects, and there's this whole section on Canada and its various dialects, yadda yadda, and ever since i watched it (many times at a young age) I always try and pick out the various Canadianisms I hear on TV and stuff. the Wilby Wonderful trailers and stuff are chock-full of them.

*is silly*

Oh. Oh!

Sorry. (Or, as a Canadian would say, "Sore-y"!) I was just completely overwhelmed by the thought of CKR and wordporn all wrapped up in the same lovely package...

*happysigh*
