1. It's Already Wednesday

When you have Monday off, all the other days are off too. I had to put the timer on to remind myself to leave on time, but when it started beeping, I was eating my lunch and thought it had something to do with my food. I turned it off. It wasn't until twenty minutes later that I realized I had to leave. Do you think that was the holiday effect or was that due to my insomnia-induced short circuitry? Or perhaps the newspaper I was reading was so scintillating I couldn't tear myself away, you know, For Better or Worse, Zits, and LuAnn. We also get Ann Landers, but I really like Carolyn Hax's advice column, "Tell Me About It."

By the way, don't forget to stop by Ello's blog. She's interviewed Dr. Gigi Durham, author of The Lolita Effect, The Media Sexualization of Young Girls and What we can Do About It. Interesting conversation going on over there.

2. Dead of Night by J.D. Robb et al.

In this short story collection, we get a new Eve Dallas story. Not terribly inspired, I think Roberts work is best in full length format. I am never as impressed with her shorter pieces. This one is about a vampire on a killing rampage (but of course he is not really a vampire). The other authors were all ones I was not familiar with and there stories were ok. We had one about time travel, another about a magic carpet ride, and a third one about time travel that is rather dark and disturbing. They were all………fine. I guess what it boils down to is I like full length novels. I always feel like I am not getting the whole story when I read short stories (even when the short stories are 100 pages sometimes). C’est la vie. Luckily it only took me about an hour and a half to read so no great loss.

3. A Few Shining Examples

By Anatoly Liberman

Strange things have been observed in the history of the verb shine, or rather in the history of its preterit (past). To begin with, a reminder. Verbs that change their vowels in the formation of the preterit and past participle are called strong (for instance, sing—sang—sung, shake—shook—shaken, smite—smote—smitten), in contradistinction to verbs that achieve the same results with the help of -t or -d (for instance, shock—shocked—shocked, cry—cried—cried). For practical purposes this division is almost useless, for weak verbs can also change their vowels, as in sleep—slept, and mixed types exist (the past of strew is strewed, but the past participle is usually strewn).
