Mr Chi City
Stolle sent me the “Keeping your refrigerator stocked” (certainly the best) video a few weeks ago, and I’ve just been watching all of them.
This guy’s ridiculous.
I mean, I was hoping we wouldn’t be quite this idiotic.
Also? It isn’t cool to let the air out of someone’s bike. Nor is it cool to sarcastically yell “nice bike” as you and your posse drive by. The more mature thing to do would be to offer a ride.
Though I wouldn’t have taken it, because it looked like your driver was drunk too. Or just really stupid.
On the other side, my Writing Children’s Literature prof thinks one of my stories could be publishable as a picture book, and the other in Highlights.
And the new James Bond movie is pretty good.
In the Senate, as long as things go how they think, it’s gonna be annoying not having 60 Dems (the number when they can tell fillibusting GOPs to stfu), so less will get done than could have, but I’m still pretty happy.
Now, please save us.
(and don’t comment with some “No, WE have to save us” stuff. that was obviously exaggeration)
This is amazing:

Watch the member count not really grow much (or so I predict)!
What percentage of people who “donated” their status to voting do you think actually voted? 80%?
I think I’ll throw these up here:
One
Two
Three
Four (after the scars fell off. Being under that mask a lot made it warm and moist (I don’t care if you have a problem with that word) around my face, so the scars, which were put on in haste, fell off more. Picture 3 was when they were at their best.)
Five
Clothes: Salvation Army. $22.
Mask: eBay. $20.
Not bad, though the price of the mask is like “wtf why are you so high” when compared to the clothes, but that’s just because the clothes were so cheap. Possibly more on the clothes shopping and makeup-applying later.
You may all know this, but I learned it just a few days ago:
In the professional world (and really ought to be in the academic as well, but it’s excusable because students like me were taught falsely when we were 10 and are just learning), for EVERYTHING that you write, you only put one space after the period (or whatever other end punctuation). See that space there? I originally put two there out of habit, but it should be one. Look at a book…the newspaper…any printed material. One space. It saves space, and that’s why they changed the rule. The best place to remember this is on your resume (it saves room), but do it everywhere else too. That’s the rule.
Why was it originally two? Because typewriters didn’t space things out as well as computer word processors do.
These days it really doesn’t make it more difficult to read if there’s just one space. If our eyes can handle the rest of the text, they can handle this.
So just use one space. UNLESS, of course, you’re in a lower-level class that has a length requirement for a paper by pages, not words. Then by all means double space (BOTH ways, HAHAHAHAHAHmmmm), and you might even bold your periods and knock in the margins by .01 inches each.
if that moderator had just asked Palin what newspapers she read, it would’ve been all over for Palin.
quickie -
difference between further and farther:
further has to do with an idea, and/or time.
“We shall not discuss the matter any further!”
farther is in the physical world.
“stand back a little farther!”
WHAT. YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED. Come on! Dragon Ball (and it’s successors) is NOT supposed to be live action! It started out as a comic (manga). Cool. Shonen Jump. Yeah. Then as an animation (anime). All right. Good stuff. Show them moving as they kick ass so we don’t have to use our imagination as much. That’s all fine.
DON’T make it into a live action movie! It’s not supposed to be! It’s just gonna look weird! And all the blue hair and everything will be gone! They’ll all actually LOOK Asian now, instead of some sort of omni-white race! And no, that kid in the poster doesn’t look anything like Goku (esp his hair) because THAT WAS A CARTOON AND WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE LIVE-ACTION.
And they’re even totally changing it! They’re sending Goku to high school! He NEVER went to high school! Blasphemy!
Thank you.
I like how people who use the words apropos and plethora don’t know the difference between “every day” and “everyday”.
GUESS WHAT
“Every day” is a time-when prepositional phrase. So, I went and got oranges every day. (it’s equivalent to “daily”)
“Everyday” is an adjective. Were they special oranges? No, they were just your everyday oranges, y’know. (equivalent to “usual” or “normal”)
WHEN IT’S A PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE AND YOU MAKE IT ONE WORD, YOU’RE NOT BEING EFFICIENT WITH SPACES. YOU’RE BEING WRONG.
oh also…
“A lot” is still two words! It’s a miracle! It’s a boy!
