I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who the hell is Piers Morgan? I'm pre-disposed against him because of Piers Anthony, and I don't feel like being fair. I am so out of reality touch. Which isn't the same as being out of touch with reality, I hope.

TV told me that Gordon Ramsay had the biggest reality show on US TV. That can't be right, can it? I'd always assumed American Idol sat atop that heap. Of course, TV went on to throw flour on Gordon and chase him around the studio in the funniest Jonathan Ross interview I've ever seen, so I lean towards believing it just because.

Isn't spelt one of those wacky grains like quinoa?

I think it may be too late to introduce you to the concept of the homonym. Sorry about that.

I hadn't realised it was one of the errant spellings until here. Aims, I think, said she thought I'd just been spelling dreamt wrong the whole time. ::sniff::

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, that can't be right, when AI is the biggest show on television. Maybe that's currently? Also I think the British newspapers are wrong about Piers Morgan being a star here; I think his fame is limited to judging a summer reality show. That's like saying Nigel Lythgoe or Cat Deeley are big stars here. They're not to the people to who don't watch their shows.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I pay all my bills online including my rent. It's lovely. I write maybe 4 checks a year.

That's because you were spelling it wrong.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

That's because you were spelling it wrong.

Just because you learnt it differently, doesn't make it wrong!

I think this is exactly what Dana said after my first post on the Buffy 2 thread at TT.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Road safety FAIL or alligator WIN?

Those are some very clever alligators. Like a WB cartoon.

Okay, I officially now hate Feliz Navidad. Thanks, practice carollers, for ruining it for me.

I've always been able to separate my business writing spelling from my personal spelling, but for some reason here my emails have "u"s creeping into them. Which gets complicated because we have a "My Favorites" section that gets spelt without the "u" when I quote it, but when I describe the favourites section, there's definitely a "u" there. Well, makes sense in my head. I do put zeds in instead of esses, though.

As for doubling ells, I have no idea when not to do that, so if Word doesn't tell me, I'm wildly inconsistent.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

There's a restaurant I go to that won't accept either debit or credit cards for transactions under $10.

There are still some sit-down places around Boston (mainly in the North End) that don't take ANY credit cards. And I remember when it felt like the end of an era when Redbones in Somerville started taking them.
