Is it Cokie Roberts on NPR who says Missoura? I always notice it when she does.
I got beat in a geography bee in fifth grade by a native Louisianan who pronounce Louisiana "Loo-see-an" and thus finished before my "Loo-wee-see-an-uh."
Why do I remember that??
Yes! I watch Life on Mars.
OK, when you see cabs outside the Drake hotel (?), know that that's right by my house.
Awesome! I will wave at you through the TV.
Someone asked me to review something as a favor, and it's just not very good, and now I feel bad telling her that. Hate that! I'm trying to figure out how to make constructive suggestions rather than just saying it doesn't make enough sense.
I usually try to phrase everything as a question. Like, do you mean ____ here? But sometimes that bites me in the ass when I want to say, "Do you realize you sound like a crack-addled moron?"

Why do I remember that??

But he's a sexy Erkel.
I'm so glad to have a nerd.
I really, really want to go down there Tues and take Taylor. But I don't know how realistic getting to the car-parking point (and buffista sighting!) is and then the schlepping to downtown. Had I not been an ass and gotten MARC tickets, it would be a little easier. I just want to hear the fucking oath of office, you know?

Yeah, I can honestly say that all the parts are there, and my edits are mostly stylistic, and she can feel free to ignore any of it. I'm also assuming that other people reading it will have similar feedback, so.
