This is what I'd been telling you all along.

Oh, South Korea, why are your cable channel personnel such slashers?The genre is crime, not bloody romance (although the pages I tend to visit would suggest the former...).

I kind of enjoy this, actually.

IF YOU CAN CORRECTLY PRONOUNCE EVERY WORD IN THIS POEM, YOU WILL BE SPEAKING ENGLISH BETTER THAN 90% OF THE NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS IN THE WORLD. AFTER TRYING THE VERSES, A FRENCHMAN SAID HE’D PREFER SIX MONTHS OF HARD LABOUR TO READING SIX LINES ALOUD. TRY THEM YOURSELF.

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it’s written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation’s OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation (think of Psyche!)
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won’t it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It’s a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough,
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!

- B. Shaw

Also, a little something: spell your name without e, f, r, s, k, i, m, l, c, a, y, n

j puu :D

Lip Service seems good and proper enough, and it gives me a healthy and refreshing dose of lesbotic sex, which I don't think I get to see enough of on the telly. Oh, and Glasgow. Scottish accents are my current obsession, among numerous others. Also, I needed a soap to follow.

I don't get to see girl-on-girl action on the teevee. Perhaps I'm watching the wrong shows, or the wrong channels, or perhaps it's just the quality, portrayals or style that makes me change the channel. In any case, I always seem to miss it.

Thank you for (not) listening to my rant of the slightly Sapphic persuasion.

LESBIANS IN GLASGOW!!! (All I can make out of the description. Oh, and serial drama...which means soap.)

And bow ties. Bow ties are cool as well.

Kello on kovin monta. Yritin mennä nukkumaan noin tunti sitten, mutta ajattelin lukea vielä yhden ficin. Etsin välilehdistä mukavankokoisen ("Ah, varmaan vain parituhatta sanaa...") ja asetuin lukemaan. Sitten alkoi syvä angsti, hyvin kirjoitettu ja kaunis, ja tarina loppui kamalan ahdistavaan paikkaan.

Mietin: "Et voi jättää tätä tähän, senkin paska," kunnes huomasin linkin osaan kaksi. Jatkoin matkaa ja luin senkin.

Sekin loppui kamalalla tavalla. Lopussa oli linkki seuraavaan tarinaan, joka luultavasti kertoo kolmen vuoden tuntemukset (tunnen canonini).

Koko homma oli vaan prequel, ja nyt en kestä mennä nukkumaan lukematta koko höskää.

Mutta onpahan hyvä.

"Yksi vielä" ei ole hyvä kommentti milloinkaan.


Angstista puheen ollen:

Mutta tässä jotain mukavampaa:

Ja sitten vielä lopuksi:

If two witches were watching two watches, the which witch would watch which watch?


(Ja nyt kyllä ei vittu niitä tarinoita on kolmaskin... Koska tässä oikein pääsee nukkumaan...?)

(Ei helvetti neljäs... Oon lukenu jo kaheksan sivua.)

Ajattelin katsoa National Television Awardseja, mutta eihän ITV1 tietenkään meillä näy, joten kyttäsin YouTubessa, Twitterissä ja Tumblrissa päivityksiä ja yleistä huutoa.

Stephen Fry juuttui ruuhkaan tunnelissa ja oli myöhästyä jakamasta palkintoa.

Sherlockia ei palkittu.

Doctor Who:ta ei palkittu.

Qi:ta ei palkittu.

Palkintoja saivat I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here (julkkis-tosi-tv:tä) ja Waterloo Road (ongelmateiniangstia lähiöistä).

Eisemitään.

Tässä silti tällaista:

Ja näin päivän päätteeksi, tai jos haluatte, aamun alkajaisiksi:

Wodehouse described Jeeves’ cough as “like a sheep clearing its throat of a blade of grass on a distant hillside.” I tried practising that but sounded more like a goat clearing its throat of a piece of cheese on a nearby hillside. These things are difficult.
— Stephen Fry (via torrencethehalfwit on Tumblr)

Twitter on hieno paikka.

(@DRUNKHULK) "LOT OF BIRD DROP DEAD IN ARKANSAS! THEN LOT OF FISH DIE! DRUNK HULK TERRIFY! SOMEWHERE OUT THERE IS CAT WITH ONE WISH LEFT!"

(@feministhulk) "FEMINISM NOT EXIST IN VACUUM. HULK SMASH FOR ALL FORMS OF SOCIAL JUSTICE! HULK NO LET HEGEMONY SNEAK IN THE BACK DOOR."

(@BOOKSTOREHULK) "HULK DOESN'T READ BOOKS ABOUT READING. MAKES HULK TOO NERVOUS THINKING ABOUT OTHER BOOKS HULK SHOULD BE READING."


Now this is something I most definitely shall watch.




Oh, Nathan... you adorable fucking imbecile.

(You can't see his eyebrows properly in this one, and I am greatly angered.)

Montako kliseetä mahtuu yhteen kolmiosaiseen sarjaan?

Livejournalissa pollums kertoo: "So apparently RDJ's gonna be in drag for Sherlock Holmes 2, and I'm incredibly excited. He looks AWFUL, too, in the best way possible. Where's all the press on Stephen Fry as Mycroft, though!?! That's what I wanna know."

Jostain muualta taas: "Moffat promises that more Holmes-related work is on his radar, though the only details he would offer were: ‘Adler, Hound and Reichenbach.’"

(AAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHH NOOOO NOT REICHENBACH NOT THIS YOU FOCKEN' BARSTUD!!!!!)

Mutta toisaalta Kanye West on ilon aihe.
