And it's not a performance, but without it, you'd not be reading this post right now:
Friday, September 22, all day (well actually, for about a week before and after) MY BIRTHDAY!
And there was much celebrating throughout the land...
Random thought for the day:
As I was lugging my belongings to the far reaches of the UH parking lot one afternoon, I noticed a neon sign on the side of the Blaffer Art Gallery. A neon sign was strange and random enough to behold. What it said was :
Then I saw a flashing letter to the left of it. I thought, typical school building. Put up a sign and the lights start to go. Then I noticed what the letter was. An "S," making the word
I was literally taken aback. One measly letter was the difference between not only two vastly different pronunciations, but diametrically opposed concepts. Turns out it's an installation from London. Makes one think, won' it (arcane NC all-purpose slang, the exact orthography of which is anyone's guess. Means essentially, Right? Do you agree? Is that not the case, etc.)?
