02:26:13 [me]: meh. I'll do this later
02:26:29 [me]: more food
02:26:43 [Tristan]: food's always good
02:27:01 [Tristan]: that's why people spelt "food" and "good" with mostly the same letters, even tho they don't rhyme
02:27:23 [Tristan]: this nonsense about "phonetic drift" and "irregular splits" is just that.
01:33:23 [me]: the commercial right before that one just now was a girl with a perfectly standard my-generation american accent, and I was admiring her very clear vowels. Enough so that I downloaded Praat.
01:34:11 [Tristan]: you're kidding me?
01:36:01 [Tristan]: "check out this girl's formants!"
14:38:07 [me]: I could see like Laura going through and ranking every quote
14:38:09 [me]: all 700 of them
14:38:17 [Ian]: haha.
14:38:25 [me]: I could even see myself doing that.....
14:38:32 [Ian]: sigh.
14:39:28 [Ian]: Laura's, like, a bit crazy and would do something like that. You doing that would be more like lame.
14:24:40 [me]: you know how when you write an e-mail and edit it as you go, you sometimes miss stuff, so you an extra word or something?
06:28:24 [Tristan]: so what, you're saying that if the russians had've invaded australia & america, they'd try and pretend we spoke different langs? :)
06:28:35 [me]: yes
07:25:46 [Aaron]: ok, i gotta shower and get ready for the day
07:26:00 [Aaron]: also, something freudian may be noted on the fact that i originally typo-ed "day" as "bad"

06:58:41 [Laura]: Did you know
06:58:50 [Laura]: that there is a real movie coming out
06:58:58 [Laura]: called, "Snakes on a plane"
06:59:02 [me]: wtf
06:59:14 [Laura]: Snakes on a Plane.
06:59:24 [Laura]: As in, i can tell you the plot of the movie already.
06:59:31 [Laura]: There will be snakes on a plane.
