Okay kids, help me satisfy my Linguistic curiosity? I just want to know if you notice any different pronunciations or sounds from what you might say, and if you hear the differences I ask about in the clip. I tried to make it a small download. Also ... I have a cold. Keep this in mind.

SUPER BONUS: All you ever wanted to know about 'eh'. http://www.box.net/shared/cdv6yr88cs

Thing one - I am still sick after three weeks, and the pink eye has come back. This leads me to believe that when the medicentre lady was like 'oh if you haven't worn it in three days it's still fine' thing is bullshit ... or that I have viral pink eye instead of bacterial. Either way: I may or may not be sicker than I first anticipated.

Thing two - my laptop keyboard has been sticking (and no I haven't been jilling all over it, perverts), so this is a problem.

Thing three - I hope I didn't give anyone at the First Aid course pink eye because I'll be sad if I gave hot-man and his adorable wife pink eye.

Thing four - I have a 4-7 page paper due on Thursday I haven't started and I don't want to start it because I feel icky. Wtf.

Thing five - Not going to Easter dinner because I don't want to infect anyone else and I can't taste anyway. Blah.

Thing six - I seriously can't stop thinking about Roderick/Aland and it's getting very serious. Lulz.

Thing seven - John Mulciber has secret homosexual desires.
