In retrospect, this was obvious... and other random trivia

I'm just surprised I haven't seen it before: http://www.crazyaboutgadgets.com/detail.asp?ID=312
(SFW, though my current mental image is not... *sigh*)

In other randomania: what's the correct mood form of "in a reverie"? clearly it's not 'reverent'

Finally, yes, the band's name is "+/-" though some places seem to insist on listing them as "Plus/Minus". I'd have fits trying to figure out where to file them, alphabetically.

Trapped Under Ice Floes

Hey, I heard that song on Pandora last week. I liked it!

[drwex]

Yeah it just showed up on my "On the Roof Again" station.

"Lost in thought"?

[feste-sylvain.livejournal.com]

"Dreaming"

potentially "Day-dreaming"

[drwex]

yeah, I think "daydreaming" wins.

Pensive?

[drwex]

I use pensive to refer to more serious thought. This was definitely an UNserious form of reverie.

Yeah. Problematic. It'd be tempting to put it under P, but then again, maybe not. If it were me, I'd probably put it at the very beginning before any possible number-names.
I just shelved Thir13en for the first time in the DVD collection. It went under T after a short externally voiced internal debate. Kendall agreed.

[drwex]

If that's really the band name, why would it NOT go under T?

[mizarchivist]

Movie, actually- and I suppose I could have put it under 13- oh Thir13en Ghosts, specifically... But it was spelled out- 9-5 goes at the beginning, you see, not under N

Revelling?

[drwex]

Heh. I think if I'd actually been DOING it instead of merely fantasizing then that would be reveling.

"rêveur", in French. There's so much in there it's difficult to unpack in English, with its more precise, double-rooted vocabulary... Daydreaming is probably closest, though pensive fits well if you add a touch of melancholy... =)
