Lately in the course of daily reading, I've been acquainted with some particularly delicious English adjectives. It has been my custom [A] to raise an eyebrow whilst typing in a dictionary search, then [B] to grin-smirk at the monitor for anywhere from 5 seconds to 25 ( t  being correlated inversely to the Credibility Factor of the proposed PIE root), before finally [C] filing under Things That Exist and getting on with my day. But some of this shit is too good to keep to myself. So I'm gonna tack on a Part [D]: posting the word here. And I'm gonna call it WOTD , because ¡abbreviations! And when I'm bored at work I'm gonna scout out a word that be Fun and Interesting ( forms thereof  duh), and I'm prolly gonna match the first letter to the day of the week because ¡alliteration! And I'm gonna invite you to do the same, whenever you have occasion.  ~ Angiepymyjew

1.    Good news! Now we may comment freely (again). Angiepymytu descended into the bowels of "advanced" (read: hidden) blogger settings and eliminated the unwelcome presence of Google+ from this exclusive blogging soirée. Paranoia, be gone! 2 .     The blog now uses Disqus which is better anyway for several reasons. One benefit is that, if we wish to migrate VP to Wordpress or (less likely now) to the post-Yahoo! Tumblr, then all our comments and other data clutter are entirely - and easily - portable. 3 .     W e have ourselves a new domain name , which was 100% free via  this cool thing . Just another step forward in the great migration away from Google ! No trail of tears here. (There might be blood.) [Some further reading on the new  shared endorsements in advertisements  feature of Google+ and on Google's troubling  use of pixel tags .] Signed with a grain of sea salt,

i feel SO smiley and satisfied with myself right now. is this what it's like for certain guys whenever they succeed in "convincing" a girl to date them?  the thirst of the hunt , the thrill of the catch ? the transcendence of conversion ?  of conquest ?  ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From:  Rachel Hannah Polsky   <rachel545@gmail.com> Date: Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 4:55 PM Subject: Re: Vus titzuch?
