The Warmth.
My name is Eric, and I’m a recordaholic.
Seriously, until a few months ago I didn’t know AA (not American Airlines; also not AAA) was “spiritually-themed”… learn something new every day. Like what a ‘ewer’ is. I always tacitly assumed that a ewer was a male sheep, in the same vein as ‘widow’ and ‘widower’. In retrospect, that was kind of a silly assumption, but hey, English is a silly nuanced language.
Also, I learn things from the cryptic, which I’m getting better at. I do about half of it entirely on my own, then resort to an online crossword dictionary I found (input strings of wildcards and letters: F**K, for example, and it outputs all possible words), teamed with occasional dictionary.com lookups. I can complete the crossword this way. I find that solving the harder clues amounts to brainstorming synonyms for the ‘clue’ word, filtering them for word length and letters I already have (this is where that online tool comes in handy), then seeing how they could fit the cryptic clue. Yesterday I dicovered that a ‘thwart’ is a type of canoe, and the words ‘effete’ and ‘lambent’ are, in fact, words and not the little bundles of ridiculousness nuance they seem to be.
So yeah, The Warmth. Good Incubus song. Enjoy Incubus. Make Yourself Enjoy Incubus like a Morning View of A Crow Left of the MurderrrrrrFungus Amungus! Sorry. I tried to fit that last one in there somehow… must’ve been too nuanced.
p.s. the word I was thinking of in my example above, of course, was fork.
