6:32 am

aslindy

6:33 am

6:41 am

Kiani

phantom: fossil

6:44 am

Kiani

and phantom: snooker

6:45 am

aslindy

most of the words I've tried have been phantoms. or not words.

6:51 am

Kiani

name that German word: "to eat" or "food"

6:51 am

MollyL

Essen (I feel like such a nerd)

6:51 am

Kiani

6:52 am

Kiani

how about this one? name that character: southern gal stars in a vampire story (book or tv show)

6:53 am

sukee

sookie

6:53 am

Kiani

ding ding!

6:53 am

sukee

I heard that name after a friend commented on my user name :)

6:54 am

Kiani

lol I bet

6:58 am

Kiani

ok, how about this.. name that Japanese word for devils or spirits

7:01 am

aslindy

I guess we don't know Japanese

7:02 am

Kiani

lol or watch enough anime :)

7:02 am

Kiani

it's "oni" (or onis in this case)

7:02 am

Kiani

usually meant as demon or devil or evil spirit

7:03 am

Kiani

but I believe can sometimes also refer to any extraplanar creature

7:04 am

Kiani

sometimes they use the word "akuma" instead. I'm not sure where the difference is. Hasn't come up in my studies yet.

7:05 am

Kiani

how about an easier one: name that Spanish word for "rivers"

7:05 am

aslindy

rios of course

7:05 am

Kiani

ding ding!

7:07 am

deanoz

oni is more for monster/ogre. akuma is more evil spirit/devil.

hi - just got back from having some blood drawn... forgot i was supposed to HYDRATE, though fasting... i hate being so absent minded

8:34 am

mael

hah, so did I!

8:34 am

hurshy

really? did you forget to hydrate also, or just, you had blood drawn?

8:34 am

mael

and since I was fasting I couldn't have coffee, so I made myself a cup in a thermos to drink after the lab and managed to instead spill it all over the front seat of my car

8:34 am

mael

I didn't hydrate enough, though I tried

8:34 am

hurshy

oh dear

8:34 am

mael

it's been so dry here

8:35 am

mael

everything good with you?

8:35 am

8:41 am

mael

I don't know what that is, Molly

8:41 am

hurshy

well i've never heard of what i assume is the animated version

8:42 am

MollyL

It's a pretty popular kids book.

8:42 am

hurshy

8:44 am

MollyL

If anyone watched The Newsroom, it's the book the African kid and Maggie were reading on the bus when they got attacked.

8:44 am

I really liked The Newsroom too. I wish it had gotten a few more seasons.

8:45 am

mael

Aaron Sorkin is so great

8:45 am

hurshy

what was it on? netflix?

8:46 am

MollyL

He really is. He is one of my favorite TV/movie writers.

8:46 am

mael

I don't remember what it was on, but you can get it through hulu or amazon now, at least in the US

8:47 am

mael

I spent most of college watching the West Wing

8:47 am

hurshy

i just thought maybe netflix because they often seem to give up on shows too easily...

8:47 am

MollyL

I think it's an HBO product.

8:47 am

mael

oh yes, HBO. So you can watch it on HBO too :)

8:48 am

mael

it was just 3 seasons unfortunately

8:48 am
