source Q Now that the source code for blather has been made available - see the homepage for blue - maybe soon there'll be green, violet, light yellow ivory, conjunction rosie, heated discord gray, consummation blue, polka dot red... Maybe a thousand flowers will bloom, blather will be required in every classroom from sea to shining sea, and nobody will be able to graduate from high school without having mastered it. 021110 ... ( ... ) do i detect a tinge of sarcasm? 021129 ... cr0wl i've often wondered what the source is. where do i go to get refreshed? like a baby goat returning to its mother to suckle. perhaps it's a well, dug into the earth and contained by stone. 090129 ... epitome of incomprehensibility Note_to_self: Listen to how people talk, but don't judge them based on vocabulary. I'm bad at this. I'm snobby and reverse-snobby all at once. Last week, I heard something like "I'd saw" instead of "I'd seen" and that made me think "Wrong wrong wrong!" ...but then when people use what seems like overly refined vocabulary, I question their motives. Like this: I was talking to a vendor at a craft_show and I mentioned that jade came in pink and purple as well as green. So this led to talk about buying beads, and she asked me, "Where do you source your beads?" My mind: "Where do I 'source' my beads? 'Source' them!? Why are you being snobby?? Is it because you feel insecure for not knowing jade comes in more than one colour? Trust me, I didn't know it myself until I saw those beads. So I don't judge you for that! I just judge you for saying 'source' as a verb when you could just say 'buy' or 'get' like a normal person!!" ...except that *is* probably her normal vocabulary and she didn't mean anything by that word choice. By the way, I got the jade beads at Pierres Saint-Denis. (Other_people_promotion, but not targeted_ads - you can source or buy or get beads...or not source or buy or get beads...wherever is most convenient.) 251025 what's it to you? who go blather from
