i dreamed it, it must be true

Did you know that "June" does not come from the Latin iūnius but rather from Old Norse jånig meaning "grey"? This is also where the word "young" comes from; grey and young like a baby cygnet. See, look:

Sleepy cygnets:


Today's weather:


See? Obviously true. And, as if to prove it, what did I see just 20 seconds after taking the river photo? GEESE.


Of course, I also dreamed that the hottest new clothing designer around was named Ass Pantsley, so perhaps I am not to be trusted.

Didn't I read an article about women doing better on cognition assays after looking at really cute things?

There aren't words for how badly I needed BABY SWANS.

I had to look at baby swans for QUITE a while before posting. It was very Important.

Baby Swans! BABY SWANS!

Thank you for giving us baby swans.

I've always loved the word Cygnet. :)

Fuzzy babies! Yay!

I can see the ads, now.

Chic woman walking down a NYC-type street in designer clothes.
A guy walks past her, turns, and pauses to lower his sunglasses and give her a once-over look.
Woman notices the guy looking at her, and asks, "Excuse me, are you looking at my Ass?"
Guy is at a loss for words for a second or two before the woman says, "I mean my Ass Pantsley, of course" and points out the tag on her pants/purse/shoes/blouse.

Do you, perhaps, have too much free time on your hands?

*raucous laughter* Oh, that's a good one. :)

Hahah. Er, what veek said. I had a dream about something, and while riding my bike to work I took photos to illustrate it. Without stopping. My days are so full they're frigging watertight. I never understand why "person X thinks of silly things" always translates to "person X has too much free time" in people's minds...

It's not the thinking silly thoughts that leads to the question, it's the post-thought execution: photographing, uploading, posting. (But yeah, in your case, joke.)

Oooh, hey, look, I see my old dorm!

(yay, Cambridge across the river!)

I do miss those river paths...

[artricia.livejournal.com]

Oh, so fuzzy!

I'm laughing about Ass Panstley. I think we're postmodern enough that it will happen in 3 years or so.

your dream, and generally this post in its entirety, i love.

(i didn't really think other people had dreams about false etymologies. which would, nonetheless, be true if the world were based on poems.)
