This is absolutely true. I bit the bullet and entered Lïzxvööse into the
relay, even though I only had about a dozen words and minimal grammar at
the time. The relay forced me to sit down and figure everything out with
an actual goal in mind.

Speaking of which, I probably won't be able to post a further entry in
the ongoing Lïzxvööse saga anytime soon, since I'll be out of town this
weekend, and the following two weekends are the first two Longhorns home games.
