So does Linda Holmes. Which is what made the post interesting. I even read the comments (glutton that I am) and she gets all shirty with someone which makes me laugh.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I read the piece and have to agree with her, about chick lit anyway, not necessarily about Franzen.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
All your verbal tics are belong to me. I have them all. I am a slang sponge. And I totally start all my paragraphs with "So," to the point where I did that year in review first lines thing and I had to expand to first two sentences because all my first lines were just "So."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
To be honest, shrift is awesome.

I used to use lolcat speak at work in a jokey manner.... like asking "I Can Has Paperclips?". I did so for at least a year before I found out that no one had ever even heard of or seen lolcats, and they just thought that was how I spoke!

So, yesterday there was a big fight on the blenderized food list I'm on.
Anyone else see this first as "blenderized food fight" and have an unfortunate visual?
Actually, I use actually way too often, as well as unfortunate and sadly. I know it but I can't quit them.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Guess who has two thumbs and a husband who is taking her on a "Last weekend of the summer" weekend jaunt to Galveston? This girl!
But that also means I was in the office at 6:30 to get all my crap done. I am working on creative requests, and I just heard my (first) wakeup alarm go off.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I totally start all my paragraphs with "So," to the point where I did that year in review first lines thing and I had to expand to first two sentences because all my first lines were just "So."
Hahaha! Me too! Except, I usually have a comma.
Kat, that is bonkers. There actually is something for parents who can't afford to feed their kids, and it is called food stamps. OK, it's actually called something else now, but that's the gist.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU, shrift!
I am so late this morning.

I was going to mention that, but I didn't know how well food stamps work with dietary restrictions.

I don't know what these verbal tics are you all going on about.
Cee-lo
