brittle, bellicose, belligerent, bitter and biting

Still no date for the big day, but like many of my friends, we’re all beginning to develop that brittle, bellicose, belligerent, bitter and biting way of looking at marketing hype. Instead, I think I’ll undertake one final programming project for the web site. Lots of work, but I think it might be worth it. It just depends on my programming skills right now, and I’m not so sure I want to devote that much time to learning an other new language. English is a second language for me, and UNIX is something I still have problems with, especially the verb tenses. I seem to have trouble with “grok” and “grep”. Near as I can tell, “fgrep” is the past participle of “grep” although, another definition comes to mind. And after listening to a few friends, I’m not sure that a relationship is such a good idea. We got heartache by the boat load around here, or so it seems.
