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

Working for Auntie Beeb has ruined me for American spell-checkers. Colour. Theatre. Programme.

Speaking of which, Jessica, the Beeb just left the building. They were very nice. I just wish French and Italian had the budget of Spanish.

Our wings are not tired.

Do you pronounce it "thee-ah-tah" in that case?

How did you *know*??

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ca-RIB-be-an. Appa-LAY-shun.

Hate the wiggly red line. Yet it catches my misspellings, so it stays. Wiggly red bastard.

I'm pretty sure I had some more important things to say, but I just mainlined, like, 1000 posts and I can't remember now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The protesters who have a picture of Obama with a Hitler mustache were outside of the post office again today.

When they approached me, I managed to say "Stay away from me, please." Yes, I said PLEASE to the fucking people comparing Obama to HITLER. And their other complaint that I could see was "Save NASA." You can clearly see how that equals fascism.

I wish I could be Vortex. Instead, I say please.

“Not dead yet!”

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.

I am Amy in this.

“Not dead yet!”

Also? Mary Chapin Carpenter and Vince Gill need to do lots more duets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, so really not when I talk to HR again next week and she asks if I have any questions about the summary of benefits she sent, which include the fact that you can't take vacation until probation is up?

Dana, don't feel bad, I say "please" and "thank you" to my dogs.

brillig

AppaLAYshin = north; AppaLATCHin = south. The dividing line seems to be about halfway into Virginia, from what I can tell.

Huh, I did not know that. I wonder why the variation. I am definitely a northern Appalachian person, being from Southwestern Pennsylvania.

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

I happened to try a Double Down for lunch today - it was okay. I couldn't actually finish it, but it was pretty tasty, if very greasy. Made the french fries seem much more wholesome. I doubt I'll get it again - the cheese kind of interferes with the crispiness of the chicken, which is my favorite part of fried chicken.

IHOP in general is not appealing to me. I don't even put syrup on my pancakes, so all that other stuff just seems like way too much.

Mustache. Moustache. Mustachios. Spellcheck is not flagging any of those spellings. Huh.
