My little wife has some really good friends at work. I know this because I stole one of the xmas gifts they gave her and it is awesome: It is a magic coffee cup.

It is a simple-looking eight-ounce glazed porcelain job. Cream-colored, it's more narrow than wide and it has a sturdy handle with enough room for two fingers while balanced for one-finger holding.

Its simple decoration is merely the stately Peet's Coffee & Tea logo in dark (French Roast) brown. I believe that this logo is the source of the magic coffee cup's magic.

Here's why: If I pour anything other than Peet's Coffee into the thing, the coffee tastes like shit. Weird, huh?

Tonight - Homestead.

Some time ago I subscribed to the Word-of-the-day RSS feed from dictionary.com. It started with a clunk, as the words were criminally easy (bucolic, sycophant, conflagration, malapropism), but soon coughed up some of interest (appurtenance, empyrean, coterminous).

Like most of America, Mississippians love their cars. Most folks have two or three to themselves (and yes, some do park 'em on their front lawns), and they drive them cars FAST.

Another thing that bugs me about the book so far is the author’s style. His style is nothing less than pompous. He goes into intense detail to show off his word-smithery.


Whoa! How's that for a rant? Here's another:
