  • [es-pree de less-ka/-iay] (idiom) A witty remark that occurs to you too late, literally on the way down the stairs. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations defines esprit de l'escalier as, "An untranslatable phrase, the meaning of which is that one only thinks on one's way downstairs of the smart retort one might have made in the drawing room."

It's official

I passed my comprehensive exams! Barring any unforeseen problems, I will be graduating with my master's degree in a few short weeks. Soon I too will have a mix of letters after my name. I will also soon be "funemployed" as I'm looking for work. Please think good thoughts for me (and pass any tips my way).

I celebrated with some Presecco and bench-standing.

Oh, and go see how freaking cute Blue Kid is, ready for prom. Sniff!
