cosmolinguistMaybe it needs capital letters, by now. The Harem. It has become an oddly recurring topic.
The best thing about this CD is that it meant I got mail. Yay for Amazon! No, that isn't actually the best. The best thing about this CD is that I didn't have to pay for it. My friends love me.
I spent the last four days on the traditional Vacation By The Lake. My dad told me about seeing a cartoon that showed a drawing of the state of Minnesota in which the top third or half was one big blue blob labelled THE LAKE. This is how people in Minnesota talk: they're all going Up North to The Cabin on The Lake.
My tenth grade English teacher, who was a fishing guide on Lake Vermilion when he wasn't teaching, used to get so annoyed when people would tell him they'd been fishing, they were up north, they were on a lake. He'd ask where they were and they'd say "Up north!" Yes, but where? They'd stare at him blankly, like the tenth graders they were. ("What's the root word of 'sophomoric'?" he asked us one day. " 'Sophomore,' " we mumbled dutifully. "No. 'Moron'!" He was always like that. I loved him. He liked me too, because I played the guitar yet failed to be a punk, which probably made me a singularity in my high school. I liked Stevie Ray Vaughan; he liked bluegrass; we understood each other. Of course, he probably also liked me becasue I appeared to be the only person in my class who had any grasp of basic grammar.)
