I just wrote an entry and went to preview it and it's disappeared now :( So, again: I had forgotten about this blog until I recently saw aeonity mentioned somewhere and I did a search on usernames to see if my blog was still here (though I didn't remember my username at first so I searched on three different words until I found it). I'm amazed i... Read More

no bunnies for me

Mon, 22 May 2006 06:24:57 -0500

I have been weepy since Friday night. I had a great time meeting bunnies at the breeder's, but the bottom line is I can't have one because I can't offer it the right environment and care. Like, these rabbits live outside, but I couldn't have one outside because the other tenants in my building wouldn't like it, and a few of them have cats, and t... Read More

pregnancy dream

Thu, 18 May 2006 22:36:26 -0500

Early this morning, I dreamt I was lying on a red bedspread on a single bed in a narrow room at the front of a house that was on a main road. I could hear traffic passing sporadically and got the feeling it was the middle of the night. I tried to turn over but suddenly remembered I was pregnant and had been wedged in place with pillows so my bab... Read More

unique, period

Tue, 16 May 2006 20:18:41 -0500

I am struggling to understand shades of "uniqueness". Having read an ad for an "absolutely unique" property, I was reminded of previous struggles to compare "uniquity". Is "absolutely unique" more unique than "very unique", and does the use of either these quantifiers somehow indicate a more uniq... Read More

Peculiar and amusing bottle shop names continue to arrive, this one from Colum Hughes, of Coogee. In Belfast in 1979 he spotted "Judas' Carryout", and notes that "Even the apostrophe is in the right place". But is it ... Read More

what his parents want

Sun, 14 May 2006 20:49:51 -0500

So the boyfriend swings by Friday, after work. He texted me as he was getting off the bus, so I was waiting with the door open a crack, peering out. He was carrying a pizza. No cage or bulge in his shirt big enough to be a guinea pig. Phew. But, wait.... "Is there a mouse in your pocket?" I said nervously, trying to sound flirty. "No, I'm just p... Read More
