Weather sucks

Weather whilst I´m inside: sunny
Weather whilst I´m trudging through the streets for half an hour: drizzling
Current weather: sunny once more

About David Boreanaz: Man, the magic was gone years ago. Which is sad, really, because he was amazingly attractive the first few years in Buffydom.

About Adam Baldwin: Damnit, I don´t care about age. And the man says "gosh". Come on.

And there´s loads of older men who are hot. Or sexy. Or just damn "Look at me, I´m male". But in a nice way.


...Neil Gaiman says "gosh" too. *whistles innocently*

And what was that about a shower scene in House?


Despite the awful fiasco of last Wednesday´s showing, I´m thinking of going to see "Faust: eine deutsche Volkssage" tomorrow. Yes, it´s a silent movie, but at least the summary is a bit more than: "Rage! Revenge! Bloodbath!". So there.


Oh, people have said that the iPod shuffle is psychic and now I have proof. I was listening to a godawful song (I have no idea why it´s on y Pod) and thinking how I really wanted to listen to Queen´s "The Hitman". And lo, the Pod did deliver.

I like calling it a Pod. Sounds very spacey.


Last night I wrote a long post about writing. Today at McD´s I managed to get Jayne to actually touch the whore. Now he´s just one paragraph away from Doing Something Stupid (TM). Although, to be frank, he´s always one paragraph away from being doing something stupid.* So yeah, getting things done.


Not, y´know, things, as in, Things I Should Be Doing. Those are not being done. *shrug*


I thought this might be more interesting, but alas:

Mercenary:
1. One who serves or works merely for monetary gain; a hireling. 2. A professional soldier hired for service in a foreign army.
ETYMOLOGY: Middle English mercenarie, a mercenary, from Old French mercenaire, from Latin mercnnrius, from mercs, wages, price.


PS: For some reason my brain thinks everyone speaks French. The German lady asked me if I was returning the movie (in German) and I said, "Oui". WFT, brain, wtf.


* Wow, that slip was kinda mean.

Go. Run, don´t walk. See you there.

I´m wierd

Here´s stuff about arsenic which I will find handy in my fics.

And here is an essay about asteroids.

Anyone know the actual boiling-point of blood? To take a literal view on the phrase, "he makes my blood boil"? (And while we´re at it, the freezing-point?)

Witch etmymology: "The origins of the term witch are highly disputed. That the word derives directly from Old English is hard to doubt, but the origins of the Old English words are more problematic. Contraction of witega ('wise man, prophet') is possible. Low German contains wicker (soothsayer). Other possible connections include the Old English wigle (divination), the Proto-Germanic *wikkjaz (necromancer), the Gothic weihs (holy), and the English words victim (in its original meaning for someone killed in a religious ritual) and wicked. Many neo-pagan sources assert that because the root wik- is associated with words meaning "to bend", the original meaning of the word was "one who bends the natural order" (by using magic)." from Wikipedia.
