All the little things...


Yet another update on the release of "The Sega Method" by Drive by Argument.
It IS available on iTunes but only if you search under "Drive by Arguement"
Somebody made a small typo somewhere.
You see, little things do matter (including spelling.)
As Archbishop Desmond Tutu once observed, "if you think you are too small to make a difference, you've never been in bed with a mosquito."

Or as Scots can testify a midge (not sure about the spelling!) Must be the computer age of spell check we are losing the ability to spell. Well thats my excuse ;-)

Definition: 'beelzebug' - = Satan in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at 3 in the morning and cannot be cast out :)

Hi Emma - certainly a good definition for the Scottish midge.
Do you know the song that has this chorus:
‘The midges, the midges,
I’m no gonna kid yiz,
The midges is really the limit,
Wi' teeth like piranhas
they’ll drive ye bananas,
If you let them get under your semmit.’
I realise that the Scottish idioms might 'bamboozle' some people not familiar with its nuances, but, not yourself, being a linguist. :-)

By the way, I know from real firsthand experience what Archbishop Tutu meant. I was once camping in the swamps of Central Florida in a one-man bivouac tent. I got myself as quickly as possible inside the mosquito net only to discover as I maneouvred myself into the sleeping bag that a single mosquito had come inside the net along with me. It was not the most enjoyable night of my life, I can tell you, and I did not sleep a wink. The 'mozzie' kept landing inside my ear. But it was impossible to catch in the total darkness. Thanks to the Disney Corporation there are virtually no mosquitos in Central Florida now.

But have you bought it yet, Alice? :-) Definitely worth it, I think.
