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.

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.

what's the correct mood form of "in a reverie"?

"Lost in thought"?

[feste-sylvain.livejournal.com]

"Dreaming"

potentially "Day-dreaming"

[chienne-folle.livejournal.com]

Pensive?

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.

Revelling?

[drwex]

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

[drwex]

yeah, I think "daydreaming" wins.

[drwex]

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

[drwex]

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

[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

"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... =)
