You know, Hannah, as much as you claim that you cannot sing, you have a very nice singing voice. I enjoyed it.

Abbie wanted to see a "video of Aunt Hannah" so we googled your falling with style series. She enjoyed a few of the videos and when we tried this one she wanted me to play it again and again. She must have good taste because you sang this song beautifully!

Derevaun Seraun! Derevaun Seraun!

James Joyce is my kind of guy. He made puzzles that I like to think are just for me. He was a great lover of languages, and he is sometimes called the father of a literary technique called polyglotism. This is when you insert other languages in there. Just 'cuz. So, in James Joyce's wonderful story, "Eveline" there is a phrase that nobody knows what it is. Even to this day. "Derevaun Seraun! Derevaun Seraun!" Many people believe it to be corrupted Irish Gaelic. Needing a break from homework, I have approached this by taking the words and then transliterating them into Irish Gaelic, trying to create Irish Gaelic that would be spoken by someone of this status in this time in Ireland. Nationalist, but not educated enough to actually understand all the ins and outs of the language. I came up with two possible phrases that I find very probable. And I'm not pretending to solve the mystery. If Joyce experts over the years have not discovered the mean...

Over-analyzing Disney Movies: The Little Mermaid--Why Eric is White.

Image
I have recently noticed a trend of just purely over-analyzing Disney movies.  In this category, I also include the fascination with photoshopping Disney characters to swap genders, races, or eras, as well as making princesses have "realistic" body shapes (which is something I could write a whole other post about, and it wouldn't be pretty.  Spoiler alert:  I find it to be one of the most unempowering trends of recent years).  However, I sometimes wonder at how much people are reading into Disney movies.  Today, I'm going to over-analyze their over-analysis. I recently read that the fact that Eric is a white prince is a representation of how we white-wash racial expectations for our children.  I'm not even sure what that sentence means.  It seems to have a lot of buzz words.  But I'm going to show you today, using evidence from the film, why Prince Eric is, in fact, the correct color. (I will, however, say that Eric is the only Disney prince wh...

Thirteen Things This Lab Scientist Wishes Every Nurse Knew

Image
To quote the uncyclopedia’s entry on the medical lab scientist the nurse is the lab scientist’s “arch-nemesis.” This seems rather strange, seeing as we actually work hand-in-hand a lot, and we are both concerned for the patient. However, nurses hate us. And in turn, we are bitter towards nurses. This isn’t to say that there aren’t good nurses. Actually, in my experience, there are two types of nurses: 1) those who as you watch their expertise, skill and abilities, you are in awe of them. They are perfect superheroes to be frank. 2) Those who you watch and say, “If I am passed out on the floor, can you please leave me there? I think I have a better chance of survival if you leave me alone.”   There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground. But I get it. A main part of a nurse’s job is to take care of the patient’s pain management and managing their anxieties. And our main job is to figure out what is wrong with them, and patient comfort be darned. That is...
