This weekend

Well, this week­end, up until Wednesday.

Friends of ours came into town, from all the way out in Saskatchewan, so we had some fun. My friend Kevin owns a cou­ple dirt­bikes, so I went dirt­bikin’ for the first time ever.

We went out to the Dou­ble Deck­er, too. For bonus points: How many shots of tequi­la came to our table, and who shared them?

I think we’re final­ly back to our reg­u­lar sleep patterns.

Thirteen irregular word uses

Posted on by Patrick

To quote Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes fame): “Verb­ing weirds language”.

  1. Impact is not a verb, no mat­ter how often peo­ple say “the plane impact­ed into the mountainside”.
  2. Irre­gard­less is not a word. Regard­less of what you I might think. (How­ev­er, I still think it’s a point­less word mean­ing­less ver­bal bas­tard. (Thanks, Doug!))
  3. Unthawed means to freeze, not to make not frozen.
