macon the world go "what?!"

6/3/99

eric let me babble on and on last night about a dream I had, and then about high school band directors and the influence they have over their students. I was sure I was boring him to death, but it turned out he was doing a tarot card reading on me. Mentioned solitude: umm, (thinking back to the last time I left the house) okay.

So I went out for coffee and Scrabble with Eric tonight.

-----have I ever explained that eric and Eric are two different people? Two very different people.-----

My ass wasn’t really kicked until the word “butenols” appeared on a triple word score. I’m told it’s a chemistry term. Whatever! It’s not in my Word spell checker (what a surprise,) so I might have to refer to Dan, the Walking Encyclopedia, for this one.

Just reading a post to a mailing list...a writer committed this spelling crime: ‘disallusioned’ when she obviously meant ‘disillusioned.’ I’m sure it was just a typo; she seems to be fairly clued in to such things. Got me to thinking, though: disallusionment...what could it mean? My allusions are shattered....

I’ve been considering finding a new journal name. Journal of a Cynic is well and boring, and gets me several search engine hits a day, but it’s just not as accurate now as it was when I worked in the grocery store. So I'll wait and see if I end up working at a Macon Kroger, and then I may do a little swappie-thing. I’m collecting bad puns on the word “Macon.” Winners:

Feel Like Macon Love

Macon Whoopie (this is my personal favorite, but it’s the name of the local hockey team. shucks.)

Send me some ideas. If I don’t get mail from this one, I’ll be a cynic again and it won’t matter.
