I like "Q". It's like an "O" with a little tail.

Q words for today: Quixotic & Quagmire

Bomb The Past

Consider: seemingly quite dull, but etymologically speaking it means to 'consult the stars' (from the Latin sideris, star). It has so much more force when the underlying mystical root is exposed. So much so that it has won itself a place in my lexical affections (the lucky little thing).

Haus of Mystery

00:24 / 26.10.04

Quintessentally so.

Haus of Mystery

00:26 / 26.10.04

Always been fond of "A stitch in time saves nine" fully not partly because I always imagine it to be a completely abstract phrase regarding a stitch in the fabric of time saving some random number (although I've recently been informed that this is not the case)

I love the whole greek alphabet. My favourites are omicron, tau, and rho... and iota , and theta,and phi, chi, and psi....... I love the shapes of the letters as well. I don't know how to put a link to to them. [I've just noticed there's a bit telling me how to, so I'll read it]
