its late at night and i have done nothing/not much today

i had to work on my bridge for physics, and do multi, do an online quiz for econ, buy a book for lit, and probably should have read the gov chapters (congress and president chapters.. heavy stuff). what i did do... i glued like three sticks onto my bridge (yay?), did the econ quiz, bought the book, watched legally blonde 2: red, white, and blonde (omg. they play the schoolhouse rock song "i'm just a bill on capitol hill" like.. intense punk rock style. it was fab. i sang along.), shopped for wallets on etsy (john wanted me to link him to one that i wanted... i sent him like five links and then told him to browse through them cuz they were links for sellers instead of specific wallets. lol. he's gonna hate me. xD), read through everybody's blogs, and now am posting this.

productivity! yay!

my feet are cold, and i didnt eat dinner. but i did eat wilson burger... hrm.


still want a pointnshoot.

feeling kinda hungry.
ya kno.. i think that when i'm hungry i just kind of like.. rant. and i can't spell (i had to go back on this sentence like twelve times). should i eat? but it's late! but i'm hungry... but i'm gonna sleep soon! T-T dilemma.


renaissance. the word is soooo weirdly spelled! oO;;

i dont like the telling you what tabs are up thing... its not fun cuz i dont usually have too many tabs up actually heheh.

soooooo. let's do random facts or something. (not like the fact of the day in the daily bulletin. those are really random and pointless. these will make you a better person! more informed! etc.)

portmanteau- a blend of two words (example: brunch! or.. brinner!)

The usage of the word 'portmanteau' in this sense first appeared in Lewis Carroll's book Through the Looking-Glass (1871), in which Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice the coinage of the unusual words in Jabberwocky:
"‘slithy’ means ‘lithe and slimy’... You see it's like a portmanteau—there are two meanings packed up into one word"
"‘Mimsy’ is ‘flimsy and miserable’ (there's another portmanteau ... for you)".
Carroll uses the word again when discussing lexical selection:
Humpty Dumpty's theory, of two meanings packed into one word like a portmanteau, seems to me the right explanation for all. For instance, take the two words "fuming" and "furious." Make up your mind that you will say both words ... you will say "fumious."
Carroll suggests here a double metaphor. The original meaning of the word 'portmanteau' is a form of suitcase containing two separated hinged compartments; thus: two distinct words, packed as one. The word 'portmanteau' is itself a 'portmanteau word', deriving from the French compound "portemanteau" consisting of the conjugated word porter (to carry) and the word manteau (coat), meaning a coat hanger.

:] betcha didnt know that.
