an excerpt from my diary journal sailor's log PLOG (paper blog)

dear diary PLOG,
i gotta get used to your new name. no more diary, no more diary, no more diary.
PLOG PLOG PLOG... mmm... blending. like smokefog smog. or taximetercabriolet taxicab taxi.
today was beautiful, and by beautiful i mean that she talked to me, for like, more than 4 minutes. that's got to be a record. and a voice in my head, sounding a lot like pierre macguire, echoed that sentiment. happy happy happy! and she was doing this casual, playful shouldercheck thing while we were walking, so we slowly pendulated down the sidewalk. it was a bit cold outside so i really wanted to put my arm around her and tell her then and there, but that might've ruined the moment. or open up the choir in my head that's been waiting since grade three for that moment. slowly, like a zamboni. the ground was too icy to kneel anyway.

blog = weblog
therefore, it should be paperlog, which = rlog

*rlog is ungrammatical, in that r is never paired with l in english. w is also never paired with l, so it can be concluded that the system used to blend the words would be to use the first grammatical consonant. in the case of paper, that would be p.

heh, remember you once said that linguistics would allow you to make up new words with greater authority?
