Hey, I'm making positive progress. That is, my living room is now tidier than after the last time I tidied it :)

Q. But Jack, why positive progress? What other sort of progress is there?

You don't want to know. It was messy. Literally.

Q. Why now?

I cunningly invite people for dinner and games often enough, that (a) I see them and (b) have an excuse to keep everything tidy.

ETA: Q. How?

Radio 3 helps.

Q. Who?

It was going to be for the lovely [livejournal.com profile] rochvelleth, who deserves best wishes because she has a seminar and isn't feeling too well, but she ended up unable to come, so I have a couple of her friends, and [livejournal.com profile] atreic and [livejournal.com profile] emperor to whom I owe a dinner for inviting me there before.

Q. What?

Unfortunately, I have no time, so will probably be Conchiglie, Paneer and Legume bake, with caesar salad and garlic bread. And chocolate cake. Caaaaaake. Cake.

Q. Whence came the questions?

I don't know. I thought I'd play with time a bit, and look forward instead of backward. Partly [livejournal.com profile] kitsunenine's fault, though I don't think this sort of waffle is what he intended.

Q. "Whither"?

Whither means "to where". Whence means "from where". (I think.) I like these words because they wrap up a longer phrase in a shorter word, as opposed to other pseudoeruditions, which replace a short word with a longer less precise one.

Q. One-liner?

It was. Shut up, I don't edit tags.
