    Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

    Oh joy, I'm almost finished now.. Had to write an abstract of a research article on the benthos situation in a couple of rivers, together with a classmate. It was supposed to be about 5 pages long, my half of the text is about 7. Doesn't really help that the text has to be translated, including the terminology. Enough of this ****, I say.

    Just venting a bit, before I defenestrate something... or someone.

    My favourite word, defenestration. Not so much the word itself, but the fact that there has been a need for a word that describes that particular act. Think about it, you have to use three words to describe the act of opening a window, but only one when you toss someone through it.

    Well, I get a kick out of pretty much everything you say!
    If I had to describe you, the word 'laconic' would probably be in there.
