Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Monday has become TV night.... Prison Break, Heroes and Studio 60, all of which I feel the need to watch live,

Yes! Monday is Must Veg TV.

hip deep in pie

Studio 60 is on Sunday's for me. Last night I taped Heroes, and I watched back to back Deadwood episodes on History Television. I had a headache and somehow, Deadwood seemed reassuring to my pounding head.

Grammar - punctuation question. Does anyone have an opinion (or cites) on using a comma v. a colon in the the salutation of a letter, e.g., Dear So-and-so : or , ?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've always thought that the colon is for more formal (business, etc.) letters.

I had a headache and somehow, Deadwood seemed reassuring to my pounding head.

See, this is the power of the hivemind: I'm poking my aching head in here to whine about said ache of said head, and even before I type a single letter, somebody comes up with an answer.

Of course, it's not an answer that's available to me, but still.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think colon is formal, comma more casual. So Dear Mr. Smith: or Dear Bob,

I am in a frenzy of travel planning. It makes me queasy. What if I pick WRONG?

Yeah, I hear that. I just booked flights, and was confused by how easy it was, and so somewhat afraid I screwed something up.
