I *knew* the serial comma was important!

Haha. Excellent! Hooray for the serial comma!
I had a English teacher once who was not a big fan of the serial comma and remember one day just giving her quite the speech on why she was wrong. I was an incredibly precocious middle-schooler, apparently.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is so interesting! Testing the "McDonald's burgers don't rot because they are poison" canard: [link]

And a happy Diwali to all!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think I prefer the darkness early in the evening than in the morning. There's something just dismal about going to work when it's still pitch black outside.
That's true, and Emmett and I leave the house before dawn to get him to school. However, it did provide a most spectacular sunrise yesterday as we crossed the Bay Bridge.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I feel like I should wear a sari for Diwali. But no.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I once got the most dismissive dressing down on the Oxford comma from a boss. She could "understand," she explained, why I thought it was "necessary," but I was "clearly mistaken."
God, I hated her. I wonder where she is now... ::heads off to LinkedIn::

Always Anti-fascist!
I think I still have that sari, but I don't wear it because it unfastens.

I love Indian/Hindu holidays. They all seem like so much fun.
It is on my list of things to do in life to be in India during Holi. It looks EPIC.

I still have to get the top made to complete my sari. And then I will wear it nowhere, because I will be self-conscious.
