unmoved, yeah (inertia=lethargy); moves uniformly, yeah (1st law of motion); not sure about the middle one.

totally thought "amnesia" was for the "curiously moved" one, possibly via anagram of "animates" with some letters missing in a way that I didn't understand yet

(don't always succeed, but on the crossword thread I usually do)

I thought it was inertia but was hung up on one of the 'moves' meaning 'it's an anagram' and couldn't get it to work

I've lost my mojo
re: the guardian, did anyone do araucaria's easter prize double? i'm sure he thinks running the clues together is terribly clever but the surface reading just ends up being garbled nonsense.

Just got there myself and made a little noise halfway between a groan and a snort of laughter out loud in the office. Which was awkward.
Not got koogs' yet, though...
