Howdy again, Sane. I was getting around to replying to you, but school caught up with me, and I haven't had time to get back to all my mail and such... *pours Sane a glass, hands it to her*

But I will.

I didn't have internet access at all yesterday.

Even today we're only using a substitute connection, not the full speed one - so I don't expect to be online much.

@ Tess and Hector: you are both cabinets

Ah, tea! I could use a cup. Now, whatever happened to that massage parlour in the corner?

Jon, I like your signature, though I suppose it's a variation on 'the unwritten letter'.

So that's two people in need of a massage here. (*crack* of fingers) Let us. *massage for both Tes and Mari*
You're welcome.

I just came back from watching Alice In Wonderland (2D). Went to see it with a Somalian friend of mine. He's so social and talkative, it's nice just being around with him. The theater was empty apart from us, so we could laugh and talk as much as we wanted.

Thank you. Pardon my ignorance but I don't know what "the unwritten letter" is. Isn't it a song or something? In any case, the sig is a paraphrase of a passage in the thriller "The Ghost". It initially reflected the writing of books in general but I thought it could apply to post-writing as well

Replace every 'post' with 'letter' and you've pretty much got a quote often used in writing-related literature. I think it's from a long dead poet originally.
Similarly if you tweak the sentence a bit, it becomes one of the key philosophical issues in applied linguistics, namely can there be language when there is no thought?
A language/thought is a delightful universe of infinite possibilities. Say one word, however, and it immediately becomes earthbound. Say one sentence and it’s halfway to being just like every other bloody conversation that’s ever been had
Moreover, if you go this way... another popular discussion is the one on whether language is shaped by our thoughts or are our thoughts shaped by our language? Though the answer to this one is pretty much decided in favour of the latter.

How interesting. But if that's so, then the mention of Harris in my sig is undeserved! I'll remove his name

Which is the idea behind Newspeak in Orwell's "1984" - by simplifying the language, the State will make it impossible for people to think, thereby making them easier to control.

*sips whiskey and lights up a Macanudo Robust to enjoy the evening*

Euch... Work is a pain in the ass. Pays good though, so can't complain too much. Heh, if it allows me a good high class smoke and a bottle of Glenfiddich, I can't complain!

How goes it for you all?
