something substantial
In which several things are combined to make them appear more substantial:
Tiona Marco: Creating fine art with Crayola crayons.
I read Persuasion by Jane Austen last Saturday morning while lying sick in bed. Recommended. One cannot help but feel a sense of disgust when the story moves Anne back to her family at Bath.
We received notice at work this week that after four years, we get a month to do anything we want that is “loosely related” to the mission of the company. It's not Google's 20% time, but it's a nice perk. I am already plotting what to do when my time rolls around in early 2011...
Thought on discourse: one often labels a critique as “devastating” not because it possesses such a destructive force, but merely because it happens to align with the opinion of the labeler and assures the labeler than he will not need to interact with the critiqued. It works in the opposite direction too: one labels a blunder or misstep of one's opponent “devastating” in hopes the opponent will be marginalized or go away altogether.
