More Language Madness
Last night, I dreamed that 'craic' was actually a Scots Gaelic, not Irish Gaelic, word.
Let me make this clear: I had a dream. About a word. From a Celtic language. I do not know.
In the dream, I was terribly embarrassed about having thought it was Irish and having defined it as such to Podraig.
I'm going to attribute this to Language Madness and lie down with a cold compress to the forehead. Or, you know, brew some coffee and read some Latin. Yeah, Latin.

I sometimes have dreams about German words or people speaking Spanish. It gets fairly nonsensical rather quickly. They're better than dreams about consuming fires, though.

I'm getting a little worried about you. Spend a few minutes before bed doing something else (like reading pop or nonfiction) so that I can stop worrying. Otherwise, I'll have to send you more creatively packaged cookies . . .

I think I had a dream about Old English translating last night too. Weeeird. The academic dreams are going around I suppose...

Go ahead, send more creatively-packaged cookies. I dare you.
