One week until the parents leave for their week long 25th anniversary trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando. This will be the first time since 1995 that I won't go with them; instead I'll be staying home to spend the nights with my grandparents and the days at our house looking after the black Lab and the chickens (the 2 cats are staying with one set of grandparents and the Mountain Fiest is going to WDW with the parents since she wouldn't live a week without Mom.)

Happy Birthday Tsuneo Ninomiya who worked for the Animation Department on Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie. You are the least popular, #799, person on IMDB whose birthday it is today.

It's also Clark Ashton Smith's birthday, who was an awesome pulp writer and friend of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard.

I found this "guide" to the names of the dwarves in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey to be rather entertaining: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/01/17/hobbit-dwarves-spoof_n_2495843.html

This one really made me pause and think about how screwing English can be. Shocked

This reminds me of something my sister once emailed me:

English is ridiculous

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,
and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and three would be those,
yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
but though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.
