Talk, Talk, Talk

I took my last final today, and I have to say that the infomatic final went the best.

Perhaps it was because I didn't have to write three essays for it like my Spanish and Ethics finals. And didn't have anything to do with syntax, which is always good.

Other than that, I went and shipped my Christmas gifts. And I just realized I didn't turn in the rest of the bookeeping things for this semester. Though I still have Friday to clean house.

In a word, I didn't paricualarly accomplish anything important - though my brain thought it was vitaly important to start gluing together some of my worldbuildiing notes. So I got to poke around Latin sites and Greek sites and Wikipedia trying to get the correct form of words for the name of a fake company. I ended up with Lux Chemeia, though it's probably not right as "Chemeia" is Greek and "Lux" is Latin, but they didn't have "alchemy" in Latin, so I had to go with the Greek.

Unless "alchemy" is actually Latin, then it's just because the Greek word for "lux" isn't as pretty.

Yes, my favorite part of world building is the tiny, almost pointless details. Much like I've taken it as my cannon that Dr. F was some breed of psychologist and Dr. E was a nueroscientist, but it makes sense in my head so I'm sticking to it.

Though Dr. F was called a psychologist by someone else first. I'm fuzzy on the who exactly, but I think it's krwalker cannon, yes?

And I have no problem with the new interface either. I was a bit WTF at first because I had just installed some new stuff to Firefox, so I thought it was just me that had the new design. Nice to know I'm not going mad, though.

I think it actually is Latin. I pulled at my sources for translating, found this site, and came up with this:

http://www.dicts.info/ud.php?w=alchemy&l1=Latin

All the languages that descend from Latin also had their translation resembling this.

Alchemia! I knew it just didn't sound Latin-y enough, with the "-ly" suffix and all. And most of the dictionaries I was was hitting wasn't recognizing alchemy as a word. Thanks!

Though I'm still probably just ending up naming it Lux Chemicals, just to spite myself. = )

Though Dr. F was called a psychologist by someone else first. I'm fuzzy on the who exactly, but I think it's krwalker cannon, yes?

That is part of my canon, though I couldn't claim to know if it popped up in someone else's or mine first. Of course, there are a lot of little piece to my canon of Dr. F, so I don't even know what's what anymore. Still, to me, the idea that he was a psychologist worked out fairly well.

*laughs* Yeah, after awhile everything starts blurring together into one mass cannon, doesn't it?

Ah, Christmas gifts. What address should I sent yours off to? And you don't mind if they come a bit after Christmas, do you? I don't think I'm gonna get 'em finished in time to get them there by then XD

The... well. I'm not sure. My Jasper address? So at least whenever they come in there's at least someone to take the box inside.

But I'm not doing any better, as when I was packing I found some of you're guys stuff that didn't get sent out in the box. O_O
