eventually i may do a more proper intro post, but as a placeholder for now:
hi, i’m alyssa, or lyssa, or alice. or a bunch of other names if you know me well.
i don’t know yet what i’ll about yet, but possibly my daily life, or things i read or watch, or write.

some things that spanish uses the same word for:

un juego de palabras bilingüe:

tengo un nuevo despertador. se llama Vivi y me despierta cada mañana a una hora variable para jugar.
Vivi descubrió que las humanas son bastante vulnerables en el inodoro.
antes de dormirnos anoche, nos preguntamos dónde Vivi iba a decidir a dormir. parece que decidió dormir con nosotras en la cama. también decidió que las 7 de la mañana era una importante hora para el juego de cazar nuestros pies abajo del cubrecamas.
it's fun how with historical names, some of them are still in widespread use more or less unchanged and others are completely unfamiliar
for example: the brothers Harold, Gyrth, and Leofwine Godwinson (who all died in the Battle of Hasting)

you can argue that the inclusive counting thing is a legitimate convention but consider: after the introduction of the Julian calendar, for the next 34 years the priests in charge of the calendar got confused and added a leap day every third year instead of every fourth.
it really is amazing just how bad the ancient romans were at counting.
confession: i am incapable of remembering that Tennessee Williams did not write Death of a Salesman
