Having some margaritas has really spurred me to think even more deeply about so-called topic prominent languages, which I have been doing on and off recently. I know there that Whitman/someone else chapter, but does anyone have any other papers on what it means to be a "topic prominent" language?

Cry more, loser

The Your Lie In April theme JUST CAME ON IN THIS COFFEE SHOP!

Me after a longer than normal duration away from the news:

After toiling away at an abstract for a large chunk of the day, it is once again time to watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood in bed.

If you had a trillion dollars, you could spend $2.28 million dollars every hour of every day for 50 years before you ran out of money.

Today has been tiring, but I got a lot done. Now it is time to watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood in bed.

Watching Starship Troopers

Did some mental scheming about a review paper over some good Lao food

Can’t be repeated enough…

How has it taken me this long to find and try Yemeni food? Absolutely amazing stuff

can the world just shut the fuck up i'm trying to think

They opened with "A Fifth of Beethoven" and went into a Donna Summer song, so this is already amazing

Why does this pop punk cover of the boys of summer go kinda hard? I don't even like this style of music generally

am I entering my Brazilian Portuguese era?

tonight’s downward spiral should be interesting

A nice boilermaker and a notebook and I sorted out a Brazil idea!

Peanut M&Ms are so underrated

I miss living in a city with a good jazz radio station youtu.be/UGKo0XUMlVI?...

the bus. you've once again invented the bus.

Boy o boy does Portugal make a tasty red!

I really need to go watch New Jack City youtu.be/m51i4HbsI8k?...

At the Mexican place and Selena comes on... AMOR PROHIBIDO MUMURAN POR LAS CALLES

I'm fear I'm about to get deep into Walpiri

Back on my secondary predication bullshit

I need some help ling Blue Sky! Does anyone have access to the proceedings of NELS 38? I desperately need something from there.

I'm overhearing a first date at this coffee shop and this girl asked this guy about books and he went from overexplaining Infinite Jest to straight up lecturing on House of Leaves sooooo I think it's time for the headphones to go in

this Honduran restaurant we randomly found was soooo yummy

my favorite data centers are libraries

why is this coffee shop playing a string cover of despacito when I'm trying to lock in on some dative case malarkey

Finally starting severance

This colby jack grilled cheese with some thinly sliced onion is hitting

Fried cheese balls + philosophical discussions + a fin du monde is great

It's Rocky Road tiiime

we should all aspire to this

sometimes you remember you can make French toast

Is it a bad sign if an ominously slowed down version of my leitmotif starts playing when I arrive at the grocery store

I feel like coleslaw is best with lots of cracked black pepper

I feel like Dative is a shifty character, peddling single cigarettes and bootleg DVDs behind an Arby's

How did I end up thinking about Case?

Chilaquiles is the antidote to end of semester death

Maybe it's maybelline.. but perhaps it's perhapselline

I know this Culling Game Arc is gonna be good

Apparently, journals, universities and publishers cannot do it but the Oscars can

search committees after interviews

Mon Mothma is such a powerful character

I love when it's pouring down rain and I don't have to leave the house

your creative work is so valuable and so powerful that they will do anything to mimic it except work
