Oh god I HATE it when Spanish people write Méjico. Yes, that's how it's pronounced. No, that doesn't mean you can call it that. The country is called México and you should spell it like that because the excuse that spelling changes with language is bullshit when we're still talking about the same common language. People would go frothy at the mouth if we started saying Espania or something, wouldn't they? So common courtesy.

The x is there. And matters. It's lovely and it's a reminder of our pre-hispanic times.

Rant brought to you by a stupid article in yahoo Spain, but I've seen it enough that it's been bubbling over for a while.

At the moment, my thesis is just refusing to work with me. It's 35ish degrees and I've been sweaty, greasy and absolutely fucking done with this weather for two weeks. My brain has gone on strike.

So, I've now stopped and am now concentrating in reading candle_beck's superb SPN fic. I might have not watched the show in over a season (Castiel annoyed me), but the fic still makes me go all weak at the knees. And then I'll watch Doctor Who and — and I'm hoping here — tomorrow, my brain will miraculously work again. YES IT WILL. Pretty please.
