Hello viewers,
Welcome to an extremely overdue blog post. Should I ramble or talk about words? Lets do both! :)
The RAMBLE
I've finished memorising 'The Elements Song', a parody of the 'Major-General Song' by Tom Lehrer.
Here is how it goes (for me):
There's antimony, arsenic, aluminium selenium
and hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, rhenium.
And nickel, neodymium neptunium germanium.
And iron, americium ruthenium uranium!
Europium, zirconium lutetium vanadium,
and lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium.
and gold, protactinium, and indium and gallium.
And iodine, and thorium, thulium and thallium.
There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium and rubidium,
and boron, gadolinium niobium and iridium.
And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium.
And bismuth, bromine and lithium, beryllium and barium.
There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium,
And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium,
And manganese and mercury, molybdenum, magnesium,
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium.
And lead, praseodymium, and platinum, plutonium,
Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium,
And tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium,
And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium.
There's sulfur, californium, and fermium, berkelium,
And also mendelevium, einsteinium, nobelium,
And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc, and rhodium,
And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin, and sodium.
I don't sing the last verses- they're too boring.
Now, my word of the month (or 3):
cashmerette
If you're thinking:
"Aha! Must me giving cash as a form of merit! I'm such a smarty-pants!"
then I think you need to put your REAL cashmere smarty-pants on; not your cashmerette, imitation smart-pants you bought from the $2 shop.
Now do you know what 'cashmerette' means?
If you are thinking:
'Cheap, imitation cashmere'
then you are half right.
'cashmerette is not always cheap.
So, there you have it; a ramble and a word. Hows that for value? (Not very good if there's one every 3 months).
Ok, Happy Holidays and New Year.
(I sort of messed that greeting up.)
