I use the round-to-evens rule in all cases because that way I only have to remember one rule, rather than deciding which one to use in each case. But that's just me.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

I was going to swan off now because I forgot the beer at home for the post-work softball game. But I'll just swan off early and hit the store pre-game.
But, you, Vortex, should clearly swan off and have lunch options.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Batya Gur passed away.
So sad! I have heard of way too many people I care about dying of cancer this week. I selfishly hope that this means it's moving away from me -- from person I know, to relative of person I know, to author I like.

That's hysterical. Also, they're pikers. I never missed work because of midnight LotR screenings.
