And here is a nice blogpost from the Dictionary Evangelist (via the Umbrella) about why trademarking a word is a silly idea anyway:

Your cinnamon bottle/love blog reminded me of a line I think I first heard in the movie adaption of Flowers for Algernon, Charly, where Cliff Robertson asks, “If the plural of mouse is mice, is the plural of spouse spice?” I think my personal might read “Must love turmeric sunsets, midnight strolls of tarragon, saffron, and rosemary, be able to weather the occasional garlic moments, and wake up to the smell of cinnamon in your coffee.”

i too am approaching such an anniversary—one i have never had the opportunity of “celebrating” before (past relationships ended before the year mark, and really, would i have wanted to cohabit with any of them anyways??!! the answer is clearly: NO).

but my dear, sharing a bank account!?! you two are far more daring than i. ;) i congratulate you both.

Would anyone sane have responded? Nah, but who wants sane in a lover anyways?

Way to show that bitch, impermanence!

Too tired from solo-parenting while my domesticator does conferences to leave a really coherent and insightful comment, but I am quite sure envirorexia was all yours.

And thinking about how my undergraduate conceit was to be as undiscriminating as possible… that the ad I never placed (or wrote) was probably more like “Will correspond with anyone.”
