I spent the better part of yesterday evening in a table-pounding argument about politics. With a wonderful group of friends. Em, you should have been there - at one point, I thought Sara was going to throw the table at Dany. Mind you, he would have deserved it, but still. It was hilarious. And quite fun. And now, of course, I'm rather late on that essay I should have been writing instead of having talks with friends, but hey - it'll all work out in the end. I hope. ;)

All right. That thing with TV shows, where they occasionally inject random sentences with big words just to establish that one character is a geek, and then the other character comes out with some crappy statement like 'and in regular English that means' just to prove that they're all cool and want things in words of two syllables or less... you know what I'm talking about, yeah? Well, those things kinda have less impact when the words are those that I read and use on an everyday basis. Especially while stuck in end-of-semester essay-writing.

Which either means that I'm one of those geek characters, or that the people writing the show have very low expectations of the average audience's vocabulary. Votes?
