Day 4,377: Tender Juvenal
Whew. Wiped tonight, so we’ll make it a quick one. Save our fine distinction for tomorrow. Actually, let’s tease what it will be, let’s see…lol. It’s “Snitch” vs “Rat.” Ha! Perfect. That will be tomorrow. Today…worked hard today. Both writing-wise and work-wise. No...
Day 4,376: Dub
Today’s fine distinction is “Typeface” versus “Font.” This is a GOOD one! Typeface refers to a typographical design system. Helvetica for example. Font refers to one of a typefaces many weights (heavy, medium, thin, etc.) or styles (roman, italic, condensed, etc.)....
Day 4,375: Funny Games
It’s late so we’ll be making this a quick one. Work was busy! Got it done, though. Writing was tough. I had a big new idea, but I don’t know if it’s any good yet, so I’m a little stuck. I’ll noodle on it more tomorrow. Got my Shakespeare done! This play is taking an...
Day 4,374: No Kings
Tonight’s fine distinction is a timely one: Autocrat vs Despot vs Tyrant vs Dictator. An autocrat is someone who rules with absolute power. A despot is someone who rules with absolute power cruelly and oppressively. A tyrant is someone who illegitimately rules with...
Day 4,373: Care
I have a friend who’s very sick. They needed help eating tonight, so we went over and made sure that happened. Soup and lemonade, but good lemonade. Trader Joe’s was out of it, so I went to Ralph’s, but their selection was mediocre at best…but there was also a...
Day 4,372: Welcome…
We didn’t end up watching The Babadook tonight after all. Liz had to go elsewhere, and we really want to watch it with her. It’s a movie we’ve been looking forward to watching together, her and I, for quite some time. Like…two years? Which makes it sound like it’s...
Day 4,371: Comforter Season
It’s late. Gonna skip the fine distinction tonight, but we’ll be back with it…well, actually, probably Saturday since tomorrow is a podcasting night and I don’t think I’ll do one then either. So, we’ll be back at it in two days 🙂 I got up and wrote. Wrote in the...
Day 4,370: Strictly Ribald
We have a blanket pile on our bed right now. It’s. The. Best. It’s cold out! Only for a couple days, I think, then several days of decently warm, and then back to cold-ish again. It’s not thaaaaat cold. Right now it’s only 57 out. But that is WAY cooler than it was...
Day 4,369: Rain
Today, we’re finely distinguishing between “First Cousins” and “Once-removed. First, Second, etc. is determined by the distance of a common ancestor…ie- grandparents. Simply put, we count the number of “g’s.” Shared grandparents, one “g,” means First cousins. Shared...
Day 4,368: Toast!
Today’s fine distinction: tights vs leggings vs pantyhose vs stockings. Let’s gooooooo Tights cover the feet. Leggings do not. Tight are also an undergarment, ie- meant to be worn underneath other clothing, so they tend to be thinner. Leggings are usually thicker and...
