Thinkiness ≠ creativity
Last night (after having run out of thinkiness), I was looking for the laser pointer, with which I'd been torturing the cats earlier. (They like it. Really, they do. They wanted more, hence my looking for it.)
After a minor search, I didn't see it in any of its usual places, at which point I declared that the object in question "was displaying a certain lack of findability."
There's gotta be a use for that in some HR-generated office-speak document somewhere, right?

In other news: Having woken up with a scratchy/sore throat that has not gone away over the course of the day, I probably have the cold that's been going around. I'm not sorry to be getting it over with now, as I can be a single absent soprano out of many for the performance of Carmina Burana that Symphonic Chorus is doing this weekend. However, it would be spectacularly bad if I were to miss either the recital (of all my voice teacher's students, including me) or the big church Evensong thing that we're doing, both of which happen on Saturday May 10. Definitely better to get it over with now!
Meantime, here are some alterative lyrics to 'O Fortuna', for the many of you who are familiar with the original Latin. It's more a son et lumiere of mis-hearing the original lyrics, rather than making up totally new ones.
