Oh, I'm back from my trip, in case you haven't noticed! Had a great time, but ready to go back to normal. Four flights in seven days is a bit much! Sitting cheek by jowl with total strangers for hours is not my idea of fun, ya know?? I may post some pictures from the Disney trip if ya'll are interested. Yes, please post pics! Is Benecio Del Toro in any of them? Sadly, Benicio could not make it this trip. My sister and her high school friend Matt did come with, however. Here is a link to them, if'n you're interested: Disney Flippery

From what I understand, it's not that the extra syllable is a random or recent development; according to Merriam-Webster, "disorient" has been around since 1655 and "disorientate" since 1704. It just happens to be, for whatever reason, that Americans predominantly use "disorient" and Brits predominantly use "disorientate" (Your personal experience may be different, of course; I'm just generalizing based on research I did a few months back about the two forms of the word) So while "disorientate" sounds weird to most of us here in the U.S., "disorient" sounds weird to most Brits. Just another one of those weird/quirky differences between British English and American English. And I just noticed that "disorientate" doesn't produce a red dotted line when I type it in a program designed to point out my misspellings, even though accepted British spellings of other words, such as "favour" or "colour," do. So whatever else, "disorientate" and its conjugations appear to be acceptable forms of the word to American word processing dictionaries. I'm disorientationalized.

I've been saving it forever...and maybe just a smidge terrified that I wouldn't get to use it. I wish you guys could all come over for a hootenanny.

Thankful I just bought a new computer, as I fear by now I'd have spent the same amount of money on t-shirts... Buy it here.

And I've no objection to bowing. I object to bowing. It's incomplete without the mooing and Shan isn't here. Would you settle for an insincere curtsey and a very sincere congratulations?

Would you settle for an insincere curtsey and a very sincere congratulations? Hmm. I'll think about it. Seriously, though, thank you, sweetie.

Really should have showered before bed last night. Working in head-high blooming grass does leave one with a coating of pollen and resultant lack of places to put air due to oversupply of mucus.
(Still appropriately thrilled for Erin, but a tad hypoxic).
Julia, uck.

And I feel for you; we've go freakin' ASH falling from the sky from the Arizona wildfires, which has a tendency to make one hack-y and congested...

Funny tidbit:
I was reading the latest issue of Bitch, and they apparently had a poll asking what TV "dad" was the one most readers would prefer. With more than 60% of the vote, the winner was:
RUPERT GILES!
