*lol*

So all the weather dudes last night were like 'It's A Gonna FREEZE!!! Call the national guard! Call the CIA! Call the Pope!' (IE: It's going to freeze over-night, and since it's raining, that means We Will Have Ice, OMG!).

So, of course, it's a nice, balmy 38 degrees. NO ice. Plenty of rain though.

At least I got to wear my poor, lonely denin winter jacket (Suede jackets just don't do well in the wet, you know?). Poor thing's been ignored this season so far (and it fits much better now that I'm not trying to stuff a 3X frame into a large-sized jacket XD).

"What is this 'Joisy' you speak of?"

So, random thoughts of the day--first being is I think I'm going to end up making an icon of the above sentence, just because it's true.

See, if you don't say you're from 'Joisy' (a corruption from invading New York accents, I think), people won't believe you're from New Jersey. Thing is, I'm not even technically from South Jersey (who say it 'right', with the 'er' instead of the 'oi'), Because I was born in Trenton and then lived in Hightstown/East Windsor...which is more like 'central' Jersey headed towards north. And I never heard 'Joisy', even in the Italian neighborhoods I lived in, unless it was someone from New York saying it.

But that also got me to thinking about Nevada, of all things (probably because the news has been doing little tongue-in-cheek spots about how most of the presidential candidates 'offended' natives by saying it wrong), and how to say it 'right'.

Of course, like most folks, I say it 'Nah-Vah-Dah'...which is apparently way wrong. And I've heard it said the right way several times over the past two weeks. (For the record, now that I've stumbled on it again, it's 'Nah-Vaa (as in 'had')-dah, not 'ah' as in...well...'ah', which is how most non-native folks say it.)

Thing is? I'm still stuck on the wrong way, even though I run through other ways to say it (Nah-Vey-Dah...Na-Ved-Ah...Nah-fuck-it). It usally takes about sixteen tries and it's a complete accident when I finally stumble on the 'right' way to say it, at which point I have a Do'oh! moment, because there's no mistaking the proper way of saying it for anything else. And then I promptly forget it all over again the next time, thus having to repeat the entire process.

So, who else has this problem (or hears other people say something cringe-worthy because you know It's Wrong?).

Inquiring minds want to know. *g*

...hell.

My right eye is still blurry. If this keeps up for many more days, I'll have to go get it looked at again. :/

Pretty sure it's still sinus problems, since I still have sinus pressure. This is starting to piss me off though. Makes it hard to type on the laptop, even up close, and it's annoying as fuck to watch TV or play video games because of the 'blurr effect'. I'm half tempted to slap a bandage on it and just not use it so that I at least get the illusion of seeing clearly (if without depth perception).

Grrr.

Uh huh...

Note.

The Marine?

It's on crack. Just so you know.
