they are fixing our shower (with which nothing is wrong) and expect it to be out of commission for 2 or 3 days.  why they couldn't fix all the showers in the building (not a thing wrong with any of them, dudes.  they're replacing the doors, which work fine) over the winter break when nobody was here, i'll never know.  the replacement doors were here before i left for christmas.  grr and argh.

recommendation is that we go down the hall and beg to use their shower.  i'm thinking this might be what actually gets me, finally, to the gym.

in fact a couple of books are equidistant from where i'm sitting at the moment --

1. Grab the nearest book.

to my left is Lexeme-Morpheme Base Morphology: A General Theory of Inflection and Word Formation, by Robert Beard.  make whatever faces you want; the other option is, to my right, Examination Regulations 2004.

2. Open the book to page 123

done and done

3. Find the fifth full sentence.

done and done

4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

14.  Dryer (1989) claims to have found independent morphemes marking plural in 48 of 307 languages he examined; however, his research, to the best of my knowledge, remains incomplete.

Classics Preliminary, Course IIB  Candidates will be required to offer:

1.  Greek Translation: as specified for Honour Moderations in Classics Course 1B, paper VIII.

5.  Don't search around for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually nearest to you (We already know you, no use trying to be pretentious.)

i don't actually have cool books, so that's fortunate.

it's coming up on that time again, when Fox will be in town yay!  the lovely datlowen will be retrieving me from the airport on saturday 12 march, assuming he remembers, to which end he has instructed me to remind him and i've been doing so; and i'll be tied up a lot of the time officiating at the mixed nationals, but will be free in the mornings (not that this helps those of you who have to work, of course) and on sunday, since the event ends saturday night.

sadly i'll have to leave before Noodles, if there is to be Noodles on sunday 20th -- but surely there can be a brunch of some kind, as there was in december?  hey, maybe it will even be Not Raining.  i really liked that place, whatever it was -- fafou, what was that place? -- Mango Mike's (thanks, sowilo) and am way in favor of doing it again (rather, i mean, than someplace possibly swanker but definitely more expensive).  anyone?  thoughts?  bueller?
