Good luck, Kate! ::holds thumbs::

My oldest niece brought me Bake Sale Betty's fried chicken sandwich for lunch, and NOM. So good. And I hustled her out the door at 1 PM, only to discover my division chief had rescheduled our 1 PM meeting to 3 PM. Blast.

Now I'magonna fall asleep.

This is a really boring demo. Snores city.

Bleaching callback--you don't have to go all the way white. You could just go a couple shades lighter, for that fresh look.

Where is my white eraser?

That made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I should just be satisfied with my pink eraser. Fuck you, Jack.

I thought everyone that perused gawker was looking at these things.

I only go to gawker (and jezebel) on rare occasions, since they post SO MUCH. I usually just follow links other people post.

Bleaching callback--you don't have to go all the way white.

Oh god, I have to know what this means, and I know I'm going to regret it.

I can think of one thing I've heard of people bleaching, and if it's that ... Ew.

I made the mistake of reading the comments on the Elements of Clunk article.

There were a number comments in this vein:

I hesitate to disagree with a professor of English, but I would definitely say "with him who can make it". To me, it sounds ungrammatical to say "with he", regardless of whether the pronoun is followed by an adjectival clause.

Dear Commenter:

One point of the article was that students make errors because they go by how something sounds. While the sentence is awkward, the phrase "he who can make it" is the object of the preposition and such phrases go by the same rules as sentences.

Also, neener, neener.

Good luck, Kate!

Y'know, for someone who wanted to be slothlike, I've gotten a lot done in the two-and-a-bit hours I've been out of bed. Lots of email back-and-forth about my upcoming new job and about setting up a social event. I would like some sparkly pink stars now, thanks.

Thanks, y'all!

In other news, where on earth does one look for a new blank checkbook? I've always gotten mine with the checks themselves, but now I need a new one and I have about 80,000 unused checks left, so I'm not about to order more just to get a new checkbook. But where else can I get one? Will I have to stop by the bank, which means leaving work before they close, or do they sell them at Staples or somewhere like that?

Places like Target or Amazon usually have them--just look for checkbook cover

Thanks, Perkins, but I actually need the blank book inside, not the pretty cover! I think part of the problem is that I'm not sure what the blank book itself is called. A ledger, maybe?

Much nothing~ma to you, Kate.

Work's kept me hopping the last couple of days. After two weeks where not much happened here, I'm kinda glad things are picking back up.
