Because books.

CE = the copy editor

I'd like to catch the Chris Evans in a mistake or any way. Also Robert Downey Jr. who was so adorable on Letterman last night, he made me squeal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't tell the job people about the two weeks I'll need off in June until they offer me the job, right?

Very right, Jesse.

OK, good. And of course I meant "unless." UNLESS they offer me the job.

I had a lot of Canadian spellings from my parents that lasted until Firefox got the built-in spell check and my hate of the red squiggles beat them out of me.

Well, okay. Beat the autobackspace when doubling into me.

I thought the first syllable of mustache rhymed with muss. That's how everyone I know has said it. Or is that the Appalachian in me? (which is pronounced Appa-lay-chin, not Appa-lat-chin, I grew up there, I can say)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Or is that the Appalachian in me? (which is pronounced Appa-lay-chin, not Appa-lat-chin, I grew up there, I can say)

I always thought it was Appa-lay-chin, but then I saw a few documentaries on TV (one on PBS, one on the History Channel) that pronounced it Appa-lat-chin. So now I'm confused.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Speaking of cos/zies, this weekend is Malice Domestic. (Ok, it's a convention focusing on traditional mysteries, but there is a good bit of overlap) Mmmm, books...

So now I'm confused.

I'm not sure if there's a reason for the change other than stylistic, or if there's some alleged linguistic reason. It's like how the stressed syllable in Caribbean changed from Care-a-BEE-an to Ca-RIB-bean.

I cling to the pronunciations of my youth.

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

I am ardently adding to the dictionary of my browsers. Soon they will be nigh useless.

But hey--Castiel doesn't get a red wiggly anymore either.

Apparently insurance is still pending approval of my charges for the k-hole, but I'm still supposed to check in on Monday. Way to go to not adequately resolve the status. Ah, well. I'll tell boss to mark those two days off my calendar, unless I do show up in the end.
