Well, this is silly: 47% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category. (Give yourself the quiz here.

At least two of the questions I couldn't answer at all.

7. How do you address a group of people?
You all
Youse
You'uns, yins
Y'all


My answer is "none of the above". I say, "you".

20. What's that bug that rolls into a ball when you touch it? (NOTE: This is not a doodle bug (ant lion), which is the larvae of Myrmeleontidae spp.)
Roly poly
Pillbug
Potato bug
Sow bug


I never heard of such a bug.

And as for this one

12. What is spread onto the tops of cakes?
Frosting
Icing
Don't know
No answer


I said "frosting", but only because I couldn't choose two answers. "Frosting" and "icing" are two different things, but they both go on the tops of cakes.

I didn't get to my Italian class tonight because I didn't get out of the office until 6:45! I'd been over at the jail for more than two hours with a couple of assistant state's attorneys, dealing with a client who is not as smart as he thinks he is. We wouldn't have been there nearly so long if the jail had more people on this shift, as much of the time was sitting around waiting.

I'm also annoyed at my library. Recently, they "upgraded" their website (it's really ugly and hard to navigate, compared to the previous incarnation). Among the improvements they made is the addition of the ability to reserve books. You give them your email address, and they email you a notice when the books are ready to pick up. Only they don't. I reserved a couple of books, and tonight, while checking for a date due on a couple of other books, I discovered that not only are the books ready for pickup, but I have to pick one up by tomorrow and the other by the next day. Did I get an email about this? I did not.
