the list of random

1. Four CDs later, a "hard" backup of a lot of crap I would be very annoyed to lose has been accomplished.


2. Does the suffix --or have any significance in Quenya? Even if not, crossing Quendi (Elvish, "the speakers") with Quendor (as in Zork) is giving me some fairly funny mental images of a talking coconut.


3. I think I like the Rabbit's Foot dry mead better than the sweet mead, now that I've tasted both.


4. In other mead news, however: When I went to pick up my order today (I figured, why pay shipping when I live about 15 minutes away from the place), it became apparent that my $35 "Mead of Poetry" was not, in fact, in a full bottle, but in a slender half-bottle (375 ml). (Maybe I didn't read the web page thoroughly enough.) In other words, this is seventy-dollar mead. I mean, I knew it was kind of expensive when I bought it, but I figured it would just be a bit of a luxury. For $70 it better be fucking brilliant..
