The Lengths People Will Go To For A Glass Of Wine...

From the Oxford Companion to Wine's entry for Mosel-Saar-Ruwer:

"Some of the vineyards between the almost vertical spurs of rock could only be created, as far back as the 16th century, with the aid of explosives, a dangerous operation when there was a wine village below"

Grammar Is Love?

Playing around with that silly islove generator thing, it came up with two that puzzle me:

Wild Hunt Bedlam Morris are Love
Gog Magog Molly is Love

Not being the world's best at grammar, it's now got me puzzled as to which is correct. The later, because it's one side, so singular or the former because the side is made up of lots of people so it's a collective noun?

So...( a poll )

Yes, definitely still got it...

So today, I've spent a lot of the day playing with lj and redesigning the wild hunt website.

As for the essay I was planning to have finished yesterday...

...well, I've planned most of it.

Nice to know I can still procrastinate as well as I always used to be able to.

I want one...

nanowrimo

ghoti alerted me to the existance of nanowrimo today.

A 50,000 word novel, in a month, when I'm not sure I've got a lot of free time anyway. That sounds an absolutely insane thing to do!

So I signed up to give it a go.
