Apple in the hand

Categories: Books, Design, C.S. Lewis

I was at the bookstore the other day and saw a copy of Words to Live By: A Guide for the Merely Christian. Look a little familiar?

Twilight and CSL

Eerily similar to the cover for Twilight, no?

(It being Christmas Eve, the tie-in to Christmas is that the apple is red. And red is a Christmas color. Weak, I know. ~sigh~)

This is in no way a reflection of you, but I just have to say that “Eerily” is an awkward word. Is it to you? The double e is strange looking. Maybe it’s because there’s a capital E and then a lower case e. I just have to say that because I’m a weird Englishette like that.

And… that Lewis book came out on my birthday! Coincidence?

Probably.

A: Not only that, but if you say it aloud, it sounds like you’re saying “earily,” which has to be something corn does, but I don’t know what. We’ve already got “nosily” as a real word, and “cheekily,” too. “Mouthily”? “Foreheadily”? “Chinnily”? Yeah, none of those really works. Anyway, returning from this too-many-pistachios-yesterday-induced tangent, I agree. I almost used a different word, but my family was about to do something (eat dinner, maybe?), so I decided to just go with it and get the post out there. On second thought, though, doesn’t the double e (not electrical engineering :P) fit rather well with the real meaning of “eerily”? ;)

M: Do you know any vampires?
