brief, as usual
Feb. 8th, 2004 11:50 amFor Want of a Word: "In English I can tell my son: 'Today I talked to Adrian', and he won't ask: 'How do you know you talked to Adrian?' But in some languages, including Tariana, you always have to put a little suffix onto your verb saying how you know something - we call it 'evidentiality'."
Confessions of a Car Salesman: "We hired Chandler Phillips, a veteran journalist, to go undercover by working at two new car dealerships in the Los Angeles area." --lengthy, but pretty darn cool. Investigative journalism is so much fun to read.
Public records audit: "Gov. Jeb Bush . . . has been lauded for leading a statewide effort to make government records more accessible by putting them on the Internet. . . . But the governor's office was the only one of six state agencies audited that failed to comply with the public records law."
Life still eaten by play. It's about at the point where I think we could have a week of rehearsals and be ready to put on a decent performance. Too bad we open tomorrow. *shrug* I am highly dissatisfied with the whole experience, for reasons I shall record once my life stops being eaten. [Preliminary guess as to when this will be: coming weekend.]
For those of you who are morbidly curious, Offending the Audience runs this coming Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 8:00 PM. Seating is way limited (under fifty seats), so get there by 7:45. It's in PAB 204. Dress nicely.
