Grrr Thread (2014-10-01 11:25:50) :
So i recently realized IPA Zounds is dead... this both means i hadn't conlanged in a long time, and also that all things are fleeting and get washed away by time. I feel like someone being told that their old neighbourhood is now parking space for a shopping mall.

happiness thread (2014-09-30 22:37:24) :
yet more happy: i just had a blunt and ruminated on comparative semantics and how to make a good lexicon for an hour. i don't know if the ideas i came up with make remotely any sense but it sure was fun.
