logorrhea

as i have said in the last few posts, i have been all over the country with work, and haven't had much time to myself, or much time to dedicate to this blog, which is rather unfortunate, in my opinion. (although yours my be quite the opposite).

one of the things that i love about my job, is that i get paid to learn. i also get paid to see some of the best presenters and performers from around the planet.

i have been compiling a list of things that have caught my eye/ear over the last few months. some of them are inspirational quotes, and other are quite the reverse, ie. silly things that people have said. other bits are just interesting words or phrases. in any case - here they are for your enjoyment. (or lack of)......


_________________________________________________________________________

GOOD QUOTES

"when the fire dies down, the predators come in"

"i want to be the person my dog thinks i am"

"be kind to the idiot, because in someone else's eyes, YOU are the idiot"

"don't measure your life by the number of breaths you TAKE, but by the moments that take your breath AWAY."


_________________________________________________________________________

BAD QUOTES

"what's that little box sitting on the mouse pad?" - (asked in reference to a mouse)

"do any of you read the internet?"

"growing like and absolute train"

"my mouse hand is stupid today"

"if you get a chance, see if you can spend some time with dick"

"some of the kids were REALLY poor. many of them had never even seen a TV screen larger than 19 inches"

WORDS and PHRASES

"emotional firewall"

Kaizen

biometrics


this next word came to mind when i was thinking about the ambiguity of a word that a presenter used one day, and all of the different definitions of that word.

the word set has more definitions than any other word in the english language, and because of this is really fascinating to me.


here are the runners-up :

RUN - 396
GO - 368
TAKE - 343
STAND - 334
GET - 289
TURN - 288
PUT - 268
FALL - 264
STRIKE - 250

and this link is what you get when you type the word "set" directly into the address bar in firefox.

that's about it for stuff that stuck with me over the last couple of months.


any of you guys have any good quotes or words you want to share with the other 2 or 3 readers on this blog?????










and simply because i need to spread the infection........



yes. i know.

talking dirty

so i just happened to be watching an episode of the show "extras", with ricky gervais, and his friend was explaining how her new man likes to talk dirty with her, and she's not sure how to handle the situation. so that got me wondering if there were any bits of info online about "how to talk dirty with your lover", and perhaps some interesting suggestions that hadn't ever occurred to me previously. so i start surfing, and i stumble upon this absolutely BRILLIANT little pointer : While your mouth utters really sexy words and praises for your partner, easily caress her and do the things that will excite her more like using a really nice jam or wine to spread on her body and lick it from there. wait a minute...........use a REALLY NICE JAM???????? hahaha! are you kidding me??????????? i just about spit my tea out!!!!! i can picture it now : "hang on a minute love, i just want to go get that jar of posh preserves we got down at the farmers market last weekend" and what if your mate doesn't like gooseberry confiture? what do you substitute? caramalised onions in a bechamel sauce? are THEY allowed to request different toppings? are YOU? "since i am tossing your salad, shall i just nip out to the larder and get you some salad cream?"
