Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's.... not always that bad?
Oh, don't lie. Yes, it is.

Writing for a living is awesome!
Except when it's really, really not.

Health~ma to all that need it.
I say "anyhoodle" often, but I think I may have outgrown Anyhoo.
I was talking to a friend today who lives in a mobile home park-- the kind where you own the doublewide and rent the lot. She has 2 pitbulls. The park has decided that a) you an only have one dog b) that you have to register and pay a fee for your dog, and c) some breeds are forbidden. The list is: Pit bulls, rottweilers, akitas German Shepherds, dobermans, and dog weighing over 90 pounds and BEAGLES.

Our wings are not tired.
I listen to an inordinate amount of radio, and it's mostly the radio hosts who are driving me frakking crazy with the "to be honest, blah blah blah". But I am DRIVEN crazy by a good friend of mine who uses it as often as some people use "like". It's a verbal stammer. He is NOT saying anything that requires any more honesty or frankness than any other subject.

Ha ha ha! On Project Runway, Michael Kors just said, "Quite frankly...."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"To be honest" is just a running start at a sentence. It's hard to un-hear somebody else's verbal flab, especially once you become conscious of it, but there aren't many people that speak in well-formed paragraphs.
When I have to speak on the radio I do force myself to excise "kind of" and "sort of" which I use as verbal spacers.

WHAT THE FUCK PASSAGE OF TIME????!!!!
I have taken to thinking this VERY LOUDLY whenever I hang out with Princess Tickybox.
I say "anyhoodle" often,
I write it in some of my LJ posts. I should probably make an effort not to.

Sometimes the editors want to ask the writers if they've ever HEARD of the style guide! Or shake the project managers while shrieking "Content freeze was last week! No, we will not add that paragraph to every document, and even if we DID, it would not be styled as underlined bold text!"
(Yes, it's been a trying week in technical documentation land.)
