Post Zero Point One - Hello Again!

Shira and Quentin here. Reunited and it feels so good. Reunited 'cause we understood. WORDS.

Shira here first. My sincere apologies for not writing for the ever. Although words are fun, calculus is less fun. The area under the curve is simply "Subcurvetania."

Quentin here. I kinda took our nice little word blog and made it into this crazy story (that, as of today, has yet to be resolved - but will be soon), but today marks our return to wordy awesomeness.... or something. 

Exciting things that have happened- I went to Argentina. It turns out that they have portmanteaux in Spanish, too; in place of saying America del Sur all the time, they just say Mercosur. Nice!

And I have learned the wonders (and blunders) of the life of the college student! Fun, indeed. 

I am very sure that life is fun when you only have five god damn classes a day. If you could see my eyebrows they would be angry eyebrows. Okay. Aside from my apathy and worldly travels, I have picked up a bunch of new words, and finally unlocked the Post As Just Shira Skill (normal difficulty under five minutes with no continues). So we will see how that goes.

Well, things kinda went downhill this semester when I had to travel back in time to make sure my parents got together so I would continue to exist, but that's a story for another time. Anyway...

Anyway we still have the car so we plan to have plenty of adventures. Our next planned exploit is to take the car to go interview Webster and Shakespeare, then pit them against one another in an ultimate cage match to the death.

I hope our delightful cogency hasn't scared you, and I'll leave you with these words:

prestidigitation! - slight of hand, or magic tricks performed as entertainment

zeitgeist! - the defining mood or spirit of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas or beliefs of the time [e.g. the zeitgeist of the late 1960s]

doppelgänger! - an apparition or double of a living person

humuhumunukunukuapua'a! - a species of trigger fish that is also known as the reef triggerfish, this is it's hawaiian name

bagel! - a bread roll in the shape of a ring, traditionally made of yeasty wheat dough which is then baked (some bagels are made with extra ingredients/toppings, raisins, poppy seeds, or everything!)

See you soon!

Quentin and Shira
