The aspects of things that are most important for us are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity. -- Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951)

And there was much rejoicing.

Mood of day is Mad Hatter. Yet, happy Mad Hatter.
This is reason for repeat of this image of the Hatter singing the Bat Song. even though i do not normally endorse image repeats.

Twinkle, twinkle little bat!
How I wonder where you're at!
...
Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea-tray in the sky!"


Finally, something done correctly... Phonology assessment was returned today, with proof in red that do have some skills. Skills. LUCKYYYYY! (sorry, napoleon dynamite moment). My mark was above "Distinction" and made up (sort of) for last week's horrific tragic beginning. And the professor even wrote that i did "very well with a difficult transcription". UK grading system has three marks: Fail, Pass, Distinction.
Another positive thing is my lack of (mostly) inane babble when talking to the intimidatingly brilliant professor re: last week's trauma. She told me that this was a really necessary skill to hone (that of critical reading and writing) and that it was hard now, so that work would not be "shat upon later" by publishers! So that is good.
And had a mince pie that same professor brought to class this morning. Well, okay...two. But they were small. Tiny, even. And I walked home. And did my weights this evening. And diagonal pushups on my chest-of-drawers :)
Beautiful thing about ND link (that is not working) above is that one is able to click on phrases from this most silly film to hear them spoken and laugh hysterically. Should one choose to do so.
I caught you a delicious bass.
