The Hyena has done it again.
I hurt myself trying to be quiet reading The Hyena’s latest post tonight. I haven’t giggled this hard in too many weeks. So, so wrong… Edit: Must add the Budget Food Roundup, Part 1. Attempting to hold in screaming laughter at almost-02:00 is not good for one’s health; it simply can’t be. Part 2 exists, but isn’t as funny as the first one.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours…
Mother-dear’s Christmas loot arrived today. Stevie Wonder’s Definitive Collection, y’all. Oh, yeah. My first-ever Stevie Wonder CD. I’m so proud. I can’t even pin down exactly why, but I love his music—the vocals, the melodies, all of it. It comes together to create a cohesive Wonder sound that I can rock to for days.

D. goes to work…) She must have been infected in the spring, because she hasn’t used her computers in several months, according to GoBack logs, and the threat of that worm tapered off in May, it seems. Both computers, though. We’re looking…

What I’m reading tonight.
I dipped into the pool of linguistics a bit this past summer, so when I ran across links to Oliver Willis displaying his willful linguistics ignorance (with regards to the acceptance of Ebonics [and American Southern, “hillbilly” etc.] as a genuine language), I had to click and read the entire discussion. And then I found out he did it again. This time there’s three pages of good back-and-forth, with “Ed from Ohio” and Willis tightly holding onto their original opinions, and three or four other characters tag-teaming in attempts to be helpful. It’s an interesting discussion (although repetitious in theme), and there are good linguistics-related links interspersed throughout. The interesting…
