Caveat: blade haaku

I was surfing wikipedia, and as usual gravitating to language-geek-appealing things.  I was reading about the Kannada language – a Dravidian language of west-central India.  And there was a list of interesting phrases, and I found that included "Blade haaku – to talk at length to an uninterested listener."  Every language needs a phrase that means this!

It might be a good name for a blog, too.  This blog?  I don't know.  I definitely have the strong gut feeling that most of the time, I am, in fact, talking at length to an uninterested listener.  But anyway, life goes on, right?

    Don’t be so hard on yourself. I wouldn’t keep coming back everyday if I wasn’t interested at least some of the time. Then again, I’m easily amused.
