Tip of the Month: DIY Self-Fulfilling Prophecies

I found that I can beg for sushi from this guy more effectively by creating a self-fulfilling prophecy instead of asking.

Instead of:

Please can you give me some sushi? Please?!!!

Try:

I won’t ask you for sushi because I know you’ll give one to me anyway. I do, after all, write the Word of the Day

They feel more obliged to fulfill the prophecy.

Vocabulary Sentences

For this weeks word study, I had enamor, amicable, and amiable (the root was amo/ami, meaning love).

  1. Almost every movie rated G is either boring and/or involves some person being enamored; this is why I think love stories are overrated.
  2. Almost all PG movies involve two amicable people getting into a socially awkward situation, then going into some form of enamored staring, then kissing.
  3. PG-13 movies get even worse; the amiable people are in a war, then some stuff explodes, then finally, two amicable people become enamored with each other, then kiss, then someone dies. This is especially true of Terminator movies.
  4. Didn’t get to stuff rated R or X because a) I didn’t see any (fortunately), and b) there were only 3 sentences. I also didn’t do the “Not Rated” stuff.
