Daily Life seems like more of a formal, studied recitation, whereas Everyday Life seems more casual.
If that makes any sense.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What he told me (and he was German-American himself) was that there was a lot of racism in the Cincy German-American community and, at least back in the day, a lot of Nazi sympathy
Cincinnati also has one of the largest and oldest German-Jewish populations in America outside of NYC, so I'm not sure how much stock I'd put in that. (Isaac M Wise moved his congregation there in the 1850s, founded the Hebrew Union College there, etc etc. Cincy was also the site of the infamous Shrimp Incident.)

Okay, I'll bite. What's the Shrimp Incident?

In the case of Berlin, Ga., they just changed the pronunciation from accenting the second syllable to accenting the first.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do not prefer daily life, but as noted, am having a week.
On the upside, I just got a profuse apology email cced to my boss for the thing I didn't do wrong. It does help to get social--I swear, it's the expatriate network at work. That shit is strong.
And elsewhere I was able to supply a stranger with Burn Notice slash. Is there a job I could get where I give people links to NC-17 fanfic? Because, seriously, hooking people up with that shit is totally some of the most fun I have.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'd have to Google the exact year, but not long after the founding of the HUC, the Reform platform was still being hammered out, including whether or not Reform Jews should still keep kosher. To this end, shrimp was served as the first course at the HUC graduation banquet that year, causing several rabbies to walk out in disgust.
(Now, it's entirely possible that the whole thing is an urban legend, given that it was the late 1800s and we don't have any way of verifying the first-person accounts given, but that's the story.)

That's okay. This question is really the least of my worries since I swear I'm about to cut someone here.

Because books.
My afternoon just got marginally more amusing. I get to write copy for a book titled Cloudy With a Chance of Marriage. Heh. Her previous book was Dukes To the Left of Me, Princes to the Right.

My grandmother was a lapsed Congregationalist from Boston who moved to Cincinnati in 1947 (when my grandfather started working at the hospital there). She later worked in the library at Hebrew Union College, and almost all of her Cincinnati friends were Jewish (and they played Mah Jongg together, which we were all taught as children!). There's still a big Jewish community. I never heard of the Shrimp Incident, though!
