Buffy ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You CANNOT sing "I Will Always Love You", though.
YES I CAN! Not very well, though. But With Feeling!
Chicago Bob, I knew we were meant to be when you help clean up cat barf and dog pee.
Seriously! There will be something in there about his enthusiastic taking to the pets. Amazing. He'd never had inside pets before!
Perkins, did you see my question in Bitches? i.e. did I ever send you the Making of Me DVD? Or was it not you?

No, I didn't see it. I also don't recognize the dvd, so maybe not me?
They're having a meeting and they never told me where it is...I'm wounded. I'm also dialling in from my desk which I kinda prefer, but the principle stands. Also, they started it almost 20 minutes late.
thanks Perkins, got it.
Vortex, having now found the post in Bitches, it's still not me, but I can pretend it is!
That is frustrating, ita. I hate poor office communication.
I got the first taker on my holiday special yesterday. And it turns out he's an editor on "Castle" so that feels pretty cool.
okay, if no one claims by day's end, I will send it to you!

Excellent! Thanks!
'Reasoning With Vampires' Picks Apart Stephenie Meyer's Writing in the Twilight Saga
If you can't stand the Twilight saga, you'll love "Reasoning With Vampires." This blog, written by a serious grammar stickler, picks apart Stephenie Meyer's popular vampire novels and offers constructive criticism down to the sentence level. The author took on the project because he or she has "given up all hope that any rule of writing has emerged unscathed from the clumsy hands of Meyer."
Awkward word choices! Poor grammar! Weak characterization! Twilight's got them by the truckload, and Reasoning With Vampires catalogues them with no mercy. The blog is now up to 30 pages of deconstructed Meyerisms, using diagrams to point out everything from how psychologically disturbed Edward is to how many comma splices Meyer employs. Highlights include "Passage in Which The Reader Discovers Bella is not a Plumber" and "Alternatives to Stalking."
