popovers

Message Bookmarked

My Merriam-Webster pocket dictionary wants me to know what "popover" means. It's there every time I flip through the ps.

Also, if you stay up until 5 in the morning at your friend's apartment and your friend has cable you can watch Astro Boy. It's not that entertaining.

I'm still not entirely sure what a popover is, but I'm pretty sure, without reading the definition, that it's a baked savory food.

Don't tell me! don't tell me! don't tell me!

My Merriam-Webster pocket dictionary didn't have the definition of "catamite," and neither did my OED condensed pocket dictionary. I looked it up online and now I know. It came up about a dozen times in a book I'm reading, and then a few times in another book that's pretty dirty.

If you're an editor and your job is to condense the OED into a pocket-sized book, what do you decide to keep? Do you think . . . do you think the editors used a computer to determine what words in the English language have been used the most since its inception? Why did catamite get short-shrift? I looked up shrift recently, too, but it didn't stick. I think ratiocination stuck, though. That's got to do with Dupin.

My friend's got a bath, too, and I intend to use it, by golly.

Anyone got any favorite amateur critics/reviewers? Preferably not amateur music reviewers, as I would spontaneously develop narcolepsy.

Tomorrah I go to the eye doctor and if I get an okay from him then I probably get to go to San Francisco as a test run to trying to live there. I have to get an okay from my psychologist, too, only sort of, because he won't object and I'm not that kind of case, really.

Have you seen this cartoon in which the characters are living in some kind of post-apocalyptic wasteland and they use catapults to pitch kitchen sinks as if they were air-to-ground missiles? If I were ten I would love this. If I were sixteen I would really like this.

You know how people say "like" too much? I do that, too, certainly, but I also say "just" too much, to mean "only" or "merely." It's as if I'm reluctant to say anything confidently.

two months pass...

I found this thread by unusual means.

roxymuzak, Friday, 4 April 2008 07:19 (seventeen years ago)

I clicked on it wondering what it was about, then I saw that I wrote it.

What means were they?

bamcquern, Friday, 4 April 2008 08:07 (seventeen years ago)

Hey, you, I'm looking for Rulers' "Wrong 'Em Boyo" on slsk. Is it really so hard or do I need to reset my computer?

Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 5 April 2008 05:07 (seventeen years ago)

deeznuts, Saturday, 5 April 2008 05:21 (seventeen years ago)

Hey bam, this is really bizarre, but try searching "wrong embryo."

Not a joke.

roxymuzak, Saturday, 5 April 2008 12:50 (seventeen years ago)

i can't even remember what the me/deeznuts beef was about!

bell_labs, Saturday, 5 April 2008 17:05 (seventeen years ago)

I found it last night and I remembered you talking about it when you first made that CD.

Something strange and portentous happened last night while I was in a bad mood. Still in a bad mood, I guess, but less.

bamcquern, Saturday, 5 April 2008 21:33 (seventeen years ago)

bell labs, the beef "was" about you being a despicable & irredeemable tangle of skin & bone.

deeznuts, Saturday, 5 April 2008 21:42 (seventeen years ago)

How many girlfriends has he had? Have you met other people? It's likely that you're his best being the superlative person you are - also drama free, sucka free, smart-smart and positive.

bamcquern, Sunday, 6 April 2008 01:54 (seventeen years ago)

Edward III, Sunday, 6 April 2008 01:58 (seventeen years ago)

edward iii you are not alone; i sincerely have no idea at all wtf is going on or why people keep saying 'butthurt' like they actually mean it

deeznuts, Sunday, 6 April 2008 02:42 (seventeen years ago)

It's likely that you're his best being the superlative person you are

No, his best because we are perfect together, not anything to do with superlatives, probably.
