I had to order today's shirt.woot.com - grammar propaganda! And for a bonus, the comments on the site are discussing whether it should have mentioned Strunk & White instead of a dictionary.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a man here in the ER loudly proclaiming his irritation at the redundancy of "tuna fish." I could give him more points, but he doesn't know what the T in "ATM machine" stands for.

I respect his point of view, but if he finds that irritating the rest of the world must feel like rough wool on a sweaty sunburn.

He sounds like the kind of guy that thrives on irritation. Plus, if we didn't call it tuna fish, how would Jessica Simpson know what we were talking about?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Never thought about 'tuna fish' before, but it is redundant, isn't it?

Foremost, I figure if he isn't aware of the T in ATM, he shouldn't hassle other people about being aware of the M. Secondly, I doubt anyone's language stands up to the sort of paring you're getting down to by insisting the "fish" be removed from "tuna fish."
But he's one of those people I'd happily say "NBA basketball" all day to annoy, based on ten minutes of his overloud conversation.
I'm never getting to go back into the ER.

Mac and I are waiting for the grandparents and uncle to show up to go skating, it is decided chilly and there's wind. I should have worn gloves.

I'm never getting to go back into the ER.
I hope that you won't need to. Are you home now?
msbelle, do you skate at Bryant Park?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, the apple tarts I made yesterday turned out so good, I wish I had made more. My family would have been impressed with my pastry. Ah well. And I bet if I made more now, they wouldn't be as good. Aside from the fact that we are days away from pie-a-palooza.

Oh dear ita. I dropped online to see if you were still at the ER. Looks like yes, plus with added annoying people.
I am drinking coffee. Every sip makes the day feel a little bit better. Mmmm.
