I went to this lecture, and the speaker stated that communication is sexy. My immediate reaction to the claim was hostility. Nothing that ends with -ation is sexy, I thought to myself. That's has to be a rule somewhere. I mean, they had to make up the phrase "sex you up" because fornication and copulation just weren't doing it. Read that last sentence again, because it is hilarious. Anyway, I was running through things like immigration and Fast Food Nation to make sure my theory held up, and clearly it was. But then I thought of "space station." Maybe it's the zero gravity, maybe it's the super space jumpsuits that everyone wears, or maybe it's just the romance of the unobstructed night sky. Whatever it is, space stations are way sexy. This means I have to reject my hypothesis. I still want to believe the conclusion, though, so I hope I'm getting my point across to you, because I don't really don't feel particularly sexy right now.
