For some reason, today I feel like a 13 year old boy who just discovered his dad’s stash of Playboys.
Discussing covers with my friend Jeff:
autographedcat: I have an entire album consiting of bluegrass covers of AC/DC songs
JTW RCCC: Yeah, I’ve heard Hayseed Dixie before 🙂
autographedcat: 🙂
JTW RCCC: Dolly Parton’s cover of “Shine” infinitely improves on the original
autographedcat: yes, it does
autographedcat: i found her cover of Stairway to Heaven less essential, though it was a competant cover
JTW RCCC: And, of course, Trent Reznor will never be able to play “Hurt” again thanks to Johnny Cash
autographedcat: heh.
autographedcat: I always wanted to hear Trent Reznor cover “Afternoon Delight” by the Starland Vocal Band

The following conversation occurred on #filkhaven this morning.
Gwenzilla boggles at a mailing list message.
<Gwenzilla> I have never seen anybody spell “library” with a “y”.
<Gwenzilla> Lybrary.
Gwenzilla> WTF?
<Gwenzilla> Am I just too pedantic? I mean, how could someone possibly think it might be spelled that way?
<phydeaux_work> Are they being silly, offhand?
<phydeaux_work> I know I used to have an “evylle grynne”
<phydeaux_work> But that was deliberate
phydeaux_work is amazed nobody’s yet called me on the grammatical error in my LJ “me in a box” posting
<doc> perhaps yt’s an ardent feminist womyn who has determymed that the letter “I” is a tool of the patryarchy and must be removed from all wryting to enure true equalyty?
Gwenzilla twitches.
<phydeaux_work glares at doc
<doc> or a new ager who thynks that usyng y for i makes it look more eldrytch and ancyent?
<phydeaux_work> femynyst, dude
<doc> oops. myssed yt. do you know how hard yt ys to wryte thys way?
<phydeaux_work> Y have a slyght ydea
<phydeaux_work> Gwen: Perhaps they misspelled lye-brary, after reading too much of HL Mencken’s caustic humor
Gwenzilla aies.
<doc> now, yf thei’re preppi new agers, thei wyll not onli replace the i with y, but vyce versa.
<doc> thys ys almost as bad as l33t speek 🙂
<phydeaux_work> Owys! That makes mi brayn ache!
Gwenzilla readies the knife.
<phydeaux_work> Y thynk Y’ll go and get miself some more tea ynstead
I personally love Valentine’s Day. Yeah, it’d be nice if people gave special thought to the people they love EVERY day, but it’s still nice to have a special day set aside to honour your loves.
Having said that, for those of you who look forward to February 14th with the same sense of anticipation that upcoming dentist appointments and IRS audits provoke, here’s an online card site just for you:
