Ten more Thoughts on Tuesday

1) Phone companies (even in different countries) are remarkably similar, however, chaos is maintained by using entirely different acronyms for everything.

2) I have realized that I have been pronouncing my co-worker's name, Amber, as "Ahm beh".  I also refer to my "Paht neh" for my partner.

3) Kiwi's have freakishly diverse footware fashion sense from barefoot with suit pants to thigh high, bright red, stiletto boots.  Both of these fashions can be observed working at the bank.

4) Two cappuccino's make my hands shake.  My limit is definitely one.

5) I frequently wonder if I can really publish writing for a living.

6) This exercise makes me think of that Violent Femms song where he counts up to 10.

7) I have more computing power in my phone than the first 5 computers I owned combined.

8) If you could transport my laptop back to World War II, even without the communication functions, it would alter the course of the war.

9) What if the "oldest" human civilizations were in fact not the most primative.  Could we recognize advanced technology buried 15,000 years ago?

10) The wind was genuinely cool this morning.  It made my ears hurt a tiny bit.

  1. 1.) I shudder to think...
    2.) Is that an accent you've picked up from NZ or is it something that just sort of started happening?
    3.) ... I kind of want the thigh high, bright red stiletto boots.
    4.) Mmmm. Coffee.
    5.) *shakes pom poms* Yes - and when you're famous, remember the little people.
    6.) Wow. Memories...
    7.) Scary cool, ain't it?
    8.) And life ever after... once they figured out how to use/power it.
    9.) Pfft. We have issues recognizing modern technology. Also, I'll never forget the statue found in Greece that the archaeologist thought was a fertility Goddess with many many many breasts. Upon further study, it was agreed that it was actually a chick holding gourds. Must find that article...
    10.) Earmuffs. Pink ones with glitter.

  2. 2) Yeah, that's a fair approximation of the kiwi accent.
