'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Well, there is currently a comma after "then" in this audioscript and other similar examples, and there is a distinct pause in the audio recording to match it.
I'm just trying to figure out why my psycho co-editor decided she needed to delete the commas currently in the manuscript (Note: We are in the 8th edition of this book).
Happy belated birthday, Casper!
In honor of Saturday being Casper's birthday, here's the video I shot of her very first real word. This was Nov. 4, 2004 (my mother's birthday, which is why I was taking photos of Casper, who was 14 months old) and I happened to catch it on film. [link]
A very clever girl, indeed!
So I rode my bike to downtown Evanston for lunch. On the way there I noticed the front wheel was crooked and wobbly. Once I parked the bike I noticed one of the nuts that holds the front wheel in place was completely loose.
So I stopped at a bike shop in downtown Evanston and they fixed it for me. Took a guy about 20 seconds and they didn't charge me.
I love it when a small crisis is quickly resolved without excess anxiety on my part.
Self reality check: am I the only one who's seeing red when she sees someone spell something she has strong feelings to wrong?
Context: I got a CouchSurfing request from a guy who claims that "You're vegetarian and into indie stuff like Afghan Wings, so we have some things in common", and therefor I should host him. Which is hey, fine, but...
Afghan Wings.
Afghan Wings.
Afgh... ahem.
Seriously. If you can't spell the name of the band I hold so dearly to my heart right, or name it's genre right, and you say you like them too, I guess we don't have that much in common after all.
I'm petty, I know. But it's just wrong, you know? And I might be petty, but I prefer to do some things, like spelling, right.
< / vent>
You would refuse to host a person because of a spelling mistake, really?
I mean, I like proper spelling and all, but that seems a bit harsh. And I say that only slightly because my spelling isn't perfect.
Afghan Wings.
It's Afghan Whigs, but with Paul McCartney on vocals.
Navigating The Worst Type of Workplace Conversation [COMIC]
They talk about what one guy watched on TV the night before. It doesn't go well.
Hey, they were on Conan!
I am pretty petty about spelling, too. Especially when someone is talking about their favorite things in an online profile and can't even spell the names right.
