Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem

a cat & a comma

February 20, 2008

The comma was first used by Greek dramatists 2,000 years ago to guide actors between breathing points — thus leading to the modern explanation of why a cat is not a comma:

 

A CAT has claws at the end of its paws;
A COMMA’s a pause at the end of a clause.

   

–Lynne Truss

stinelli on still life

a nurse-in-waiting hoping to pass my time in comfortable and relative obscurity. in the meantime, i'm turning to blogging...

 

stinelli is in the house -- when she's not too busy somewhere else. i'm still focusing on my board exams (please wish me luck), so until then i'll just be mostly concentrating on my other interests: reading & travel.

 

 

To acquire the habit of reading 
is to construct for yourself a refuge
from almost all of the miseries of life.

         --  W. Somerset Maugham
