First, top news headlines:
I'm wearing a pair of jeans that I've not been able to button for three months.
I get to see my Daddy tonight since he's in KC for a workshop. Good company and free dinner!
Also in KC tonight to see Deke.
Next, a lemming from rougewench:
And finally, from D:
Interesting article on Slashdot.
"Scrambled words are legible as long as first and last letters are in place. Word of mouth has spread to other blogs, and articles as well. From the languagehat site: "Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe."
ADDITION: I forgot to mention that D and I will not be hosting a Halloween party as planned. The band we wanted to play will not be available and there are too many other things going on in Lawrence that night. I don't feel our party could compete with the other stuff. If I can't dance at home, I wanna dance somewhere else (and I'm sure others feel the same way). Sorry for any disappointments, there.
