Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2012 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
A big long book, cities in Italy and Alaska, my flat, a journey, the most internationalized and accessible desktop environment, an igloo.

Yes, you got everything except that one middle clue. Leaving it for anyone else who wants.

Roam? Slalom? Chomsky, Noam? Ethan Frome?

"Roam" it is! (Is that how you say "slalom"?)

I considered "roam", but rejected it because the others all end in "ome".

Try this one:
The first is at the head of the line. <br/>The second arms you with two heads. <br/>The third invades a head. <br/>The fourth grabs a head.

It is not how I say "slalom," but I don't trust my own pronunciation of most words anyway.
