AUBREEVISION - Observations from the far side of the dial

Happy 2005!

Eric's here for the weekend and we spent a pleasant evening ringing in the new year with friends. Half a glass of Kristal's martini stylings nearly knocked me flat on my back. When things got warm and swoony and my vision started to blur (I'm not kidding) I suspected that barring the sudden onset of MS or diabetes, someone had moonshined the vodka. Mmmm...cloudy vision....

Speaking of being knocked flat on my back, yesterday's rain exposed the ice slick under the snow. It was only a matter of time before it took me spectacularly down, my bag of Cheetos and a naughty word flying. Managed to soak my coat, bag and pant legs in the process. A pox on your head, Winter!

Thought for the day:

If "aren't" can be used for "are not," can't "amn't" be use for "am not?"
Example: "She says I'm fat, but I amn't."

Today I will make it my personal mission to introduce amn't into casual conversation.
