Yeah, well, my subject lines for these are really lame. I should just go back to saying what week it is. It’s week 436, btw, and hell no, I haven’t been doing all or even most of the weeks.

Unconscious Mutterings week 434

May 23, 2011 in Educational by Ben | 2 comments

I’ve been doing this a while, and used to elaborate a bit more when I started. This is a game some of us play; once a week new words are posted over at LunaNina. The idea is to post the first thing that comes to mind.

There isn’t a right or wrong, nobody is grading this, it isn’t some hidden meaning about your life. Unless, you know, it is. Or something.

Anyway.

Here’s week #434. You are welcome to share your words in the comments if you like :-) Follow the tag at the end if you want to see other times I’ve played, follow this link if you want to get some words for yourself or see other people that play. Easy enough?

  1. International :: banking
  2. Witnesses :: protection
  3. Rising :: flood waters
  4. Two years ago :: I was 44
  5. Sausage :: fest
  6. Physically :: capable
  7. Approached :: rejected
  8. Mole :: skin
  9. Collar :: chain
  10. Encased :: laminated

  7. Neighbor :: good fences

That’s an admirable goal, but for the purposes of this excercise, we’re just hoping to have a little fun with the technique. Each week I’ll post ten words to which you can respond to with the first thing that comes to mind.
