and of mind. Do do do do do do do do do do do.

How was your end-of-December-into-January time, meme? Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Or light a candle in your window in the hopes that Himaruya would update again instead of leaving us behind like an 19th century light house keeper's wife whose husband has gone off to sea? ... Did you?

Enjoy part 347!

thanks for the links! it's pretty interesting how languages have words for things other languages just don't have specific words for. like in English, there's the word fortnight, which I think is pretty cool :D like why you should say "two weeks" when you can say "fortnight" :D

then again, I find it pretty weird that there's no word for "the day before yesterday". I mean you talk about it pretty often and then you have to say that freaking novel there every time. in Finnish it's called toissapäivä, and you can also say toissaviikolla, "the week before last week" or even toissavuonna "the year before last year".

I think fortnight is kind of like the old word for two weeks. I can't actually remember the last time I heard someone use it in conversation, but I do see it in writing occasionally. I don't think the younger generation would even know what a fortnight is though, the same way hardly anyone knows what a "baker's dozen" is anymore.

Finnish is pretty good for saying a lot with relatively few words/syllables, yeah. I think maybe us English-speakers are just too busy making words like "twerk" to think up ones that would actually be useful, augh. ;3;
