Date: 2011-12-15 04:14 pm (UTC)The Mediterranean diet is a bullshit term made up by people who made very bad anthropologists. It's about enforcing culinary stereotypes about the region, not studying it.
An example here of what's often eaten in the Mediterranean:

Never forget, the cuisine of sacrifice among the Greeks and Romans were full of blood.

> Get a magnetic key hider, put a copy of your house key in it and hide it really well, unlabeled, two blocks from your house.
What sort of environment does he live in where there are random suitable plots of earth within two blocks from one's home?

Date: 2011-12-15 01:32 pm (UTC)I have a random plot of earth near my flat (a patch of grass with advertising boards on the walls either side of it. It belongs to the church on the corner but the council won't give them planning permission to put a car park on it so it just sits there) but I think my spare door key is much safer in the hands of a good friend. She can come and rescue me with it if necessary whereas I feel very few incidences of locking myself out or losing my keys would be improved by digging around in waste ground, hoping no animal has dug it up first or crapped on it!

Date: 2011-12-15 04:01 pm (UTC)I find that my own writing benefits from a process I call Hemingwayising . Hemingwayising is when I go through my prose and chop up all the sentences with complicated clause structures into simpler sentences. I have more sentences. Sentences that are shorter. A simpler structure. A structure that is more readable. Alas, semicolons are often a casualty of that process. No greater love hath a punctuation mark than this; that it lay down its life for clarity.

Date: 2011-12-15 05:05 pm (UTC)(I dimly remember a rule about it being a comma if there's a conjunction, semicolon if not. Except just there.)
