jackHoly flarking shit, it's cold outside. There may or may not have been any kind of atmosphere, I didn't stop to see.
Pedant note: Yes, this is more than one line, but only because of the pedant note.
Pedant note: In actual fact, there was atmosphere (defined as gravitationally bound gas, including approx 20% ox, 80% inert), as I can deduce from a variety of retrospective clues, such as the absence of exploding eyeballs, etc. This is a rhetorical technique, exaggerating an effect to create a feeling of, as well as knowledge of, its significance.
Many rhetorical techniques use counter-factual, or perhaps a-factual statements, but can be described as "not wrong" because although they convey less literal truth, they often convey more of an underlying, more relevant truth.
Pedant note: This was last night. This morning it was quite nice, and right now I don't know, because I'm inside.

Date: 2007-11-16 04:20 pm (UTC)Abandoning telephonic communications - will you be able to come to the Party Woo? I do hope so. There will be various games of a board and card nature, and also much cake, as there are at least two birthdays being celebrated as well as a passing-driving-test (none of them mine of course!)
In spite of living opposite, I haven't been to the Carlton for a Thursday since moving in. pah.
