"I like the word 'indolence.' It makes my laziness seem classy".
-Bern Williams
That's pretty much summing up at the moment. I have a static image to do, but I am telling myself that I can't make a mess because of the open home on Sunday (Euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne.-Quentin Crisp)I have a whole chapter of chemistry to do, several exercises for maths and two reading logs. But meh.
On another note, I have been thinking about language... It's a crazy thing really... We press buttons that make scribbles that represent noises that represent ideas. I love writing with pen and paper, because it is magical how my wiggling hand makes my own personalised scribbles that represent my own personalised noises that represent ideas. It's kind of awesome when you think about it. When looking for the title quote, I found a few other ones that I quite liked too:
English is a funny language; that explains why we park our car on the driveway and drive our car on the parkway. ~Author Unknown
It's a strange world of language in which skating on thin ice can get you into hot water. ~Franklin P. Jones
At no time is freedom of speech more precious than when a man hits his thumb with a hammer. ~Marshall Lumsden
Language is the means of getting an idea from my brain into yours without surgery. ~Mark Amidon
Our language is funny - a fat chance and slim chance are the same thing. ~J. Gustav White
The word "good" has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man. ~G.K. Chesterton
Anyway, enough language quotes. I don't feel like going into anything deep today. I iz hazza indolence. Here is the link for the page I got the quotes from.
On another note, I recently lost my pencil after which this blog is named. And the headphones broke. I need to draw up a new banner.
