Excellent (though rather long) article from last weekend’s Guardian about using unusual words. — nostrich Definitely worth reading.
An 8 year old day.
Starting Saturday night and continuing through the day on Sunday, it snowed like crazy. I woke up on Sunday to an endless sea of white outside my window and a text message from Brian simply stating “Snow day.

The ants are definitely in my pants.
I cannot sit still. I cannot think clearly. I cannot focus. I cannot find the words that I need. I cannot get my work done, which quite honestly is all I really want.
