Now here’s a smoke quartz mouthful to tongue twist our way around. It means a 34 sided polygon. The rough weighed about 18 kilos, and was faceted into this shape as a commission by gem artist Lawrence Stoller.

This is the money pentacle. Reblog and unexpected money will come to you!
At the end of each day, write down the six things you need to accomplish tomorrow. Do not write down more than six tasks and they can be anything. You choose.
Prioritise those six items in order of their true importance.
Tomorrow when you wake up and are fed and ready concentrate only on the first task. Work until the first task is finished before moving on to the second task.
Approach the rest of your list in the same fashion. At the end of the day, move any unfinished items to a new list of six tasks for the following day.
Repeat this process every day.
“[name of a place] está donde Cristo perdió el mechero.” “[name of a place] está donde Cristo dio las tres voces.” “[name of a place] está donde Cristo perdió los clavos.” “[name of a place] está donde Cristo perdió las sandalias.”
Translation and examples:
El Ikea está donde Cristo perdió el mechero - The Ikea is where Christ lost his lighter.
El colegio está donde Cristo dio las tres voces - The school is where Christ screamed thrice (but + literally: where Christ gave the three voices.)
El museo está donde Cristo perdió los clavos - The museum is where Christ lost the nails.
Tu casa está donde Cristo perdió las sandalias - Your house is where Christ lost the sandals.
And all these Christ-y expressions mean ‘in a remote place.’

»work no. 2325« by martin creed (+)
Days of the week with time grammar! A way I was taught to remember them is with the mnemonic “nine green kangaroos stole my kid’s dog.” If you have any questions, feel free to ask
そう じゃない の?
That’s not it?
There’s this theory that in any given language, there are 600 basic words that are really, really good to know, because, you guessed it, they are the most common. Up next: a long list of determiners, including numbers (below the cut because wow, long).
this - これ
that - それ・あれ
my - 私の(わたし)
your - あなたの
his - 彼の(かれ)
her - 彼女の(かのじょ)
It’s a bit rude to use ‘his’ and ‘her’ like this (and 彼女 by itself often means ‘girlfriend’, too), so often you’d use [name]の instead for the same result.
its - Nounの
our - 私達の(わたしたち)
all - 全部(ぜんぶ)・全て(すべて)
some - 何らか(なん)
no - ありません・ない・なし
any - 何でも(なん)
many - たくさん
much - 多い(おお)
more - もっと
a few - 少ない(すく)
several - 複数(ふくすう)
whole - 全体(ぜんたい)
a little - 少し(すこ)
a lot of - 大いに(おお)
both - 両方(りょうほう)・とも
neither - も (In a negative sentence!)
each - それぞれ
every - 毎〇〇
Ex. 毎年(まいとし)=every year
other - 他の(ほか)
another - もう
same - 同じ(おなじ)
different - 違う(ちがう)
such - そういう
