Why is language important in communication?
Good morning, millennials. Welcome back to The Toast and happy Thursday. That feels right. That feels appropriate. That feels fair. It feels just.
I feel like the last 24 hours have just been so tumultuous for me that it feels like a whole new week. Like I'm on a whole new planet now, you know?
Not tumultuous.
tumultuous. Like I just had the worst night, not to start off complaining, but I just had the worst night's sleep, more sickness in the house. Charlie with the ear infection this morning.
I stand by what I said yesterday. It's on. I'm throwing hands. If I ever meet this infection that has infected both of my nephews, it's on.
Then he was up throughout the night last night. And when he woke up at two 30, I woke up and like, I had full body aches, chills. My throat was killing me. So I took one of my, um, high dose ibuprofen that I got prescribed when I gave birth like shout out to that prescription the gift that keeps on giving and I woke up feeling much better but like my back is hurting again now so it's just I'm in the thick of it I'm not even gonna pretend like I know what's going on in the world this morning was just so crazy like Bruno's already getting groomed we had a window replaced this morning like it's just nothing's going on in the world I can assure you
You've missed absolutely nothing.
It's been wild. And then I was up late last night editing the redheads, which dropped today. So if you want to hear my better self, check that out.
Not to skip past everything you just said, I do want to rewind really briefly to your use of the word tumultuous. I feel as though that's not a word we use enough between you and I as a society, but also here at The Toast. And I just want to make tumultuous great again. Okay.
But also make language mean something again and don't use it. Malama. Don't use it extraneously.
Make language mean something again. That I definitely agree with. But tumultuous is a really good word. It reminds me of treacherous.
Oh, I would also say my 24 hours were treacherous in the definition that we use. And also what I learned in my book, The Gift That Keeps On Giving, is that any word, no matter how it's pronounced or said, like if even if it's wrong, if it goes that way for 10 years and that's how people use the word, like that's how language works. It just becomes part of the lexicon. So like let's keep redefining treacherous.
I got to that part in the book last night, the guy at the liquor store. Yes. Yeah. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, I know what you're talking about because I also read. Maybe I should host the Redheads. Are you enjoying the book? I am-ish. I mean, I don't see you being obsessed with Phoebe. Well, that's the thing. For me, a book automatically goes down a star if the main character, whose POV we're reading from, is unlikable or not someone I can champion. Yeah. And I'm very much like a self-starter, a dust yourself off type of gal. I try and see the positive in life. And I just feel like this girl is like, life is hard a hundred percent. And she's just like, I don't know. I feel like she's not helping her situation at all. What percent are you at? Like three.
Oh, okay. Okay. I'm going to let you go on the ride.
Okay.
I'm not going to foist any expectations onto you.
Yeah, I just watched the episode of Curb with the foist. So funny. So good. I know you didn't have like a fab morning. I didn't have like a particularly exciting one. The fab morning I was hoping for. How's your morning?
Yeah.
It's relatively standard, which I guess comparatively, like it's amazing to yours. But it snowed in NYC last night. I had to wear my snow boots to work last night. But that type of snow where it also rained. So not only did it not stick, we didn't get any pargy. That's your least favorite. We got no pargy vibes. You got brown. And like the kids, the kids still have to go to school. Now they're sludge on the ground, like gray, sludgy ice. Thanks.
Well, how's your new commute, by the way? I feel like you talked a lot about your old commute and a lot about how you were looking forward to the new one. But like, what's it been like? I don't even know where our new studio is.
