Dammit, I don't have time for new shows!
Angel: You're lying. Gwen: I'm fibbing. It's lying, only classier.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Damnit, coworker forgot to tell me about open swim. I've never swam in anything other than a pool. I want to try open water (though I know it will suck, but it is part of my new try-this attitude.) And she keeps forgetting!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Effing hate the passive voice rule. Sometimes, there's no choice BUT passive voice.
Sometimes, but it's death to evocative writing. It's the number one thing I edit in my own writing. Passive voice is for dissembling politicians and watery/domestic bureaucrats.
The other basic 80/20 rule in writing is lay off the adverbs.
Adverbs are the crack of writing. Sure, sometimes you want a hit off the crack pipe, but you've got to keep it under control! (He said, furtively.)

Also, either my swimsuit is suffering from fatigue after not even 3 weeks (and it is a performance suit I've been babying) or my ass is shrinking. Which most would welcome, but I have no ass to begin with!

TJs shrimp tempura are really yummy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
One of my co-workers goes to the rehearsal of the Thursday SNL almost every week - it's dead easy to get into because most people want to be at the show, not the rehearsal, and almost no tourists realize that a Thursday SNL is even an option. (She likes going to the rehearsal because there's usually at least one extra sketch, and she likes to see what they change.)

There you go, then. Sue, you missed out!
I did realized as she walked down the way offering tickets that there was a Thursday show...but whatever. I think I forgot where I was. The Ethiopian food we had for supper was delicious!

Flash forward was good! I don't need a new show though, especially one on Thursday.

Adverbs are the crack of writing.
No kidding. It's so tempting to use an adverb and a weak word than to hunt down the right word to use. I know I'll be having to hunt them down in my next revision.
