'Why We Fight'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I can't tell if it's any good, yet, but it didn't totally suck right out of the gate, and that one scene with Kyle Secor and Angie Harmon discussing pleas was fun in a very meta way.
yeah, I don't hate it. I'm recording it next week, but I haven't season passed it yet.
Okay! I have choices. I am definitely wearing silky awesome black pants and my pretty black dress/dancin' shoes, but should I wear the white shirt (which would be ironed first) or the black shirt? Note my fine dance moves.
Accomplished today...
Flop.
Black shirt.
Eta: Damn Suzi! That's a lot. I have, in contrast, put away a load of laundry I ran yesterday and started the dishwasher.
Gris, go black, choose black.
Holy cow, Suzi! Go you! I need to do laundry, but I don't wanna. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow.
So, hivemind, what is historical present tense? Google isn't really giving me the love.
Black shirt appears to be the nearly unanimous winner. And the lone white shirt voter changed her mind after remembering that I tend to spill on myself. So black it shall almost certainly be.
ETA: Historical present tense... um, maybe "And suddenly, she had won the game!"?
It's the present tense used for an event that has already happened, usually applied to things that are timeless, such as writing, "VW writes in her Nov. 1 post that...."
Oh, that makes much more sense. Cool!

Ok. Gotcha. It's the tense I'm supposed to use for the annotated bibliography. Burrell, you will be glad to know that I am learning with this exercise. Go figure.
ETA: But, I'm still not happy about it.
"Indefatigable" is just a wonderful word.
Well, it's great that it has been applied to vw. But why's it got to be such a daunting prospect to pronounce?
historical present tenseIt is using the present tense as a narrative tool to increase the vividness and immediacy when relating events that have already taken place. Bartleby.com - [link] F'rinstance:
So, at work this morning, one of my co-workers comes up to me. She says, "Ya know what I like about vw? I like what an indefatigable scholar she is." And I say to to her, "I know exactly what you mean. Now, let's get some coffee." So we go to Starbucks, and order Pumpkin Pie Lattes on our break, and we run over to the mall to buy corsets.
