First of all, only 12 more days till Easter! Yay! I'm starting to fantasize about eggs! Red eggs, blue eggs, green eggs, yellow eggs, eggs with tacky plastic stickers, burgundy eggs with beautiful parsley leaf motifs, and, most of all, egg-cracking contests!
This summer should be relatively eventful - I'm going to the Canadian Linguistic Association's Annual Conference in Vancouver at the end of May, then at the end of June I'll be spending a month in La Pocatiere, Quebec. Probably by the end I'll be talking like a hick from deep in Gaspesie. :D
Cool thing of the day: the McGurk effect, and how to hear with your eyes! To see what it's all about, check out this video. First close your eyes and just listen to the audio. Then actually look at the video and listen carefully. Once you are thoroughly perplexed and perturbed, check out Wikipedia for an explanation.
Lastly, thanks to Lyra for this super-cute video! Poor mommy! and poor babies!
