I use theater for where you go to see a movie and theatre for live shows as is right and proper.
This is 100% correct.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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 am ChiKat & ND in this.
Thanks for the hairpats, guys. meara- there must definitely be another spa day soon. Perhaps after I come back from New York.
TB, I have a Labrador-- add bacon, she'll chase anything.
I'm still irked by the showing vs. telling critic, but I'm trying to reassure myself with the fact that she perhaps her opinion is not one I should worry myself with overmuch, given that one of her favorite books is Twilight. Clearly, not my audience.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Clearly, the problem is that you failed to show your characters emoting through sparkles.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Damn those sparkles!

Well, I shall return to the way of the right and proper, then, and ignore those persons who said I was being pretentious.
Sarah, You're welcome. Look, you wrote a thank you note! One down. Yay. I thought there were two things. Now I'ma have to go back and check.
Damn that sparkly emoting. It's so hard to get right.

Someone whose favorite book is Twilight is critiquing your writing style?!
Eet eez to laugh.
Black Panther? I do not know him! But I will put him on the list.
The Tick, also. Although I don't know if any of my students will know him.
Dan and I just had pizza and watched "Red." Oh my gosh, that was fun.

Helen Mirren and the Russian are wonderful.

I do this as well, though I don't recall anyone ever telling me that I should. I wonder where the convention comes from.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
it's not a convention, it just IS and that's why we all know it instinctively. Like babies going for the nipple.

Better yet, maybe Jilli could send her devil bunny after the doubt bunnies.
Clovis is particularly good at slaying doubt bunnies.
This comforts me all the time. I would be honored to have a daughter who grew up to be Jilli.
Tell her that dating bass players is something for fun, never ever expect anything like a relationship with them. My early 20s would have been SO MUCH easier if I had realized that.
She loves Jilli pictures. I thought wwjpd (what would Jilli's parents do), and got her a sewing machine for Christmas so she could learn to sew for herself and her dolls.
Oh yay! Has she been sewing?

I wanted to La Mirren in some drop-dead gorgeous dress, though; she looked nice in that white dress, but they should have showcased her killer older-lady bod.
She is still SLAMMIN'. Age-appropo and smokin' hot.
