magazines, television, and more words
reading absenter's entry on magazines immediately before reading the tribune in the morning made today all about magazines.
with which I'm obsessed.
I don't really want to know how much I have spent on magazines in my lifetime:
Nest
Dwell
ReadyMade
Entertainment Weekly
Real Simple
Bookmarks
and a host of embarrassing special interest mags that I'd really rather not discuss...(including the newish Budget Living and the oldish Cricket Magazine )
oh my, there was a point to that list, but now I seem to have forgotten what it was. perhaps i just wanted to practice title tags and see if anyone out there has any favorites they'd like to share?
random tidbit for anyone who watches cable television and has any sense whatsoever (from what i hear, this is a small group of people, and I am their king). Introduction to Bollywood Cinema will be on TCM....how could you resist Rangeela, Dil Chahta Hai, and Sholay? seriously!
and a word, for your trouble:
fluffing: fluff [is] railway ticket clerks' slang for short change given by them. The profit thus accrued are called fluffings, and the practice is known as fluffing. this said, a fluffer is an operator of the short-change swindle.

Hmmm....a fluffer also has another meaning....

yes, yes. there are other meanings for 'fluffer.'
but how boring would life be if every word meant exactly one thing?

But the question is, do you have a first issue? If you do, you must send in a submission to the project.
In other news, fluffing was used in some context just a few days ago but someone and I had no idea what it meant. It was such a weird context that I think they made it up for whatever context it was for.
