librocubicularist - One who reads in bed

"All right," said the bookseller amiably. "Miss Chapman, you take the
book up with you and read it in bed if you want to. Are you a
librocubicularist?" Titania looked a little scandalized. "It's all
right, my dear," said Helen. "He only means are you fond of reading in
bed. I've been waiting to hear him work that word into the
conversation. He made it up, and he's immensely proud of it." -

Here is a link to Zell Miller's speech from the Republican National
Convention. It's worth a read, I enjoyed it.

I was listening to a band called Sigur Ros and I like them. They have
a song called Ny Batteri and the lyrics are pretty cool, if you can
get around the Icelandic-ness of it all. I found a site that
translated for me, so that made it much easier. But Icelandic isn't
really all that much different from any other Germanic language. I
bet if you read the lyrics in the Icelandic, you could pick out a good
5-10%. Ok, so it's not super easy, but you could do it. Just look at
things like "Batteri" Hmmm, it means "battery". Surprise! I also
like a Swedish band called Blindside, and they sing in English, which
makes me happy.

Hope you like it. Crooooow, Tom Servo, and the temp named Mike. I
mentioned Manos The Hands of Fate the other day, and I was reminded
suddenly of these goofs. In Manos, the guy who played the memorable
and almost lovable Torgo is also the SFX man. Also, The Brain That
Wouldn't Die is a good one. The Closet Monster was played by the
Israeli world champion wrestler. Some of these movies remind me of
that movie that they showed a clip of on The Simpsons, "The Thing That
Ate Everyone". The basic plot is, "Did it eat Mark?" "It ate
everyone." "Did it eat Suzanne?" "It ate everyone." Etc.

I ate peach pie last night. And now it's time for me to go. I have
lawns to mow. Keep your comments coming, you guys have been slacking
big time lately. All but a few of you anyway. And remember that a
few good apples can improve the whole barrel. That thought was
brought from Tom Munnecke to Britt Blaser, then to Dan Gillmor, then
to me, then to you. Lata'
