Phatic words on-screenβ¦
Will the void respond, I wonder.
"Hello? Are you there?"

Phatic words on-screenβ¦
Will the void respond, I wonder.
"Hello? Are you there?"
Friend: What would the devil name his dog?
Me: Spot
Friend: Can't you ever be serious and give a reasonable answer?
Me: I did
Friend: WTF are you on about?
Me: Look, the hell hound Cerberus and guard dog of the underworld, comes from the indo-euro word Kerboros, which evolved into the greek word Kerberos, which was then translated into Latin as Cerberus.
Friend: So
Me: Kerboros, means 'spotted'
Me: So Hades, lord of the dead, ruler of the underworld and precursor to the devil... literally named his dog 'Spot'
Friend: I fucking hate you... you take all the fun out of things with facts.
The snows melt at last;
I see the valley, down there:
Will you wait for me?
(Also, sorry for spammingβI'm in a maudlin, haiku mood)
My tears wash my feet
So much fight, yet so much lossβ¦
Sunrise warms my face.
Cherry blossoms fall
On dreams of a better world
Our time here is done.
