Linguist ‘n’ stuff. I was @thai101 on the other place. I’ll probably still talk about Thai too much.

The barcode lookup feature on my dead media cataloging app is so helpful lol. But I think we can all agree that Trolli Sour Brite Octopus Gummy Candy 4 was where the franchise really went off the rails, it just couldn’t recapture the magic of the first three films

My earliest game memory is of Mystery House on Apple II (first of many, many Sierra games I played as a kid)

Or if you really want to save time, ask your grocer about Mundee’s mustmayostardayonnaise

Talking morphology in intro linguistics today and the Heinz portmanteau sauces came up, so now I feel the need to remind you all about delightfully unhinged product names like TARCHUP and HANCH

So you know how for anonymous abstracts you have to clear the PDF properties and not just rename the file? Same is true for submitting thesis drafts to your advisor 🫣😭

New use for my hard copy of the OED: blocking off the vent on the HVAC because it’s gone haywire and cooling our building to 66F/19C

Famous boat noodle place with an old buddy tonight. A variety of noodles and broths to pick from and you order many small bowls. My go to is เล็กยำ, short for เส้นเล็กต้มยำ (thin rice noodles and a spicy broth). There’s a particular jargon to ordering. We finished *merely* 16 bowls between us.

Chicken tom kha from the evening market for dinner last night. Bought a baggie to reheat at home.

Went to a Japan-themed open air mall last week a couple hours outside of Bangkok and let the kids pick ramune drinks and other treats

Dinner! Delightfully spicy glass noodle salad ยำวุ้นเส้น (yum woon sen) with shrimp and pork, and galangal soup with chicken ต้มข่าไก่ (tom kha kai)

Afternoon snack with some friends

Lucky this reel-to-reel tape player from the thrift store needed only minimal repair. Bought it to digitize old tapes my dad left me. Running some transfer tests as I work. Things like Robert Frost giving poetry readings at Dartmouth, or the moon landing broadcast my dad recorded off TV as a kid.

A joy to finally hold print copies of these! With a co-authored chapter in each volume, it’s exciting and humbling to be in the company of so many amazing contributors. Catch the vision for the future of the field.

Why yes, I am a glutton for adorable punishment, why do you ask?

These have been sitting in the living room since Christmas. Consensus, apparently, is that cranberry is only tasty one!

Thanks again for spotting that. I updated the slides. Berkeley and UMass both gain a few more placements in the corrected chart (so it just makes things more lopsided!)
