this is the title of the story
today i used the word 'titular' whilst writing a programming case study. now, by its very nature, the document i'm working on should only ever viewed by people with a professional interest in its subject matter... but i can't help wonder how many people will read it up to that point and go "haha, he said 'tits'. or something like it."
i wonder if the same thing crossed the mind of 18th century scottish hairdressers as they wrote of their chignons and cockernonnies?
haha, i said 'cock'. or something like it.

the power of blove!
...and by blove i mean, obviously, the power of blog love. hooray! i'm back! who remembers the last time i posted? in fact, who remembers the last time this site worked? no, me either.
i have switched servers after months of inexplicable server downtime. i was repeatedly writing to the people who were supposed to be looking after my little box of tricks in attempt to figure out why it kept falling down like a weak-limbed kitten that's spent a year living inside a condom with nothing to eat but marijuana and, upon breaking out of its slimy, spunk-filled latex prison, had its whiskers cut off. i finally received a response from the server company last week:
"dear ANONYMOUS CUSTOMER #231157546,
imagine a small, malevolent elf with giant pineapples for hands and hard, shiny diamonds for eyes has you tied to the bed and is relentlessly fisting you while he sings "i know a song that will get on your nerves", for all time.
that's your server, that is."
so i packed up my bundle, put on my goggles and nose-clip and dived into the murky depths of the server hosting canal. and here we are! all bright and shiny and spangly and sparklesome.
leave a comment and pray that it still works.
