One thing and its opposite

You lot have been very useful - where are the film recs, guys?!

Anyway. If you won't, you won't. Here's another game we can play.

A word that means one thing and it's opposite. Like 'cleave'. And - though this word annoys me - 'oversight'.

Send words, friend. These are last ones in my kitty.

Talking about wastelands, you have *got* to read this line-by-line gloss on the text. However, I must register my dismay at not having the 'Thank you' in the first section glossed. It had possibilities! (No?)

I think I may have to park* live on this site for a bit.

*Something about someone wanting the vacant spot in the parking lot of something puts me off the word. Sorry I'm being cryptic.

An anonymous solution to the problem of IWE

This is an awesome solution, of the kind that only a post like Kuzhali Manickavel's can inspire.

Here is the comment in all its splendour:

ஐ தினக் போர் கிரேட்டர் ஆதேண்டிசிடி வீ ஷுட் ஜஸ்ட் ஸ்டார்ட் ரைடிங் இங்கிலீஷ் இன் தமிழ் லெட்டர்ஸ்.

தென் தீஸ் ஜெர்க் கிரிடிக்ஸ் வில் நாட் பாதர் அஸ்.

ஹாப்பி போரிஜ் டே.

For those who can't read (or figure) this out, Kuzhali has transliterated it in her comment below this one.

I lovelove. I want every day to be Happy Porridge Day!
