Looks good! In the last sentence, shouldn't it be "use energy"?
Gunn: You saying popping mama threw you a beating? Lorne: Kid Vicious did the heavy lifting. Cordy just mwah-ha-ha'd at us.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
Bev, myriad actually can be used as noun as well as an adjective. I learned this last year after having corrected students (incorrectly) for years: [link] Read the noun note. I was stunned!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, I know it *can* be. It still *sounds* wrong, and can cause a kneejerk negative reaction in a reader. Just, um ensmoothening it out might avoid that. Once you have the job, you can forge new, innovative ways of writing to enliven your writing and get your point across. Until you have it? Don't startle and/or negatively impress the people doing the reading/hiring. Would be my theory.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Here:
Sorting through the hundreds of magazine articles I've written to find the ones that best represent my talents is a daunting task. In a career including newspaper reporting; writing and editing articles for internal and external corporate audiences; for The Nuclear Professional magazine; and as a freelancer, I've written about everything from meter readers who dodge alligators and attack geese to licensing nuclear power plants. I've ridden in experimental aircraft and visited 25 U.S. nuclear power plants and one Canadian plant. I have offered countless ways to save energy and use technology. It's never stopped being fun.
I'm getting a little punchy, I think. I'm at that phase of a project in which the last 20% takes as long as the first 80%. Also, I'd rather right about stress corrosion cracking than myself.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
(Pssst...Ginger! Thanks for the birthday card! [It fits, topic-wise, with this discussion.] I laughed and laughed and laughed. And then Tim made me define a preposition, which launched me into Eddie Izzard's "Le singe est sur la branche" routine.)

You're amazingly good with apt cards. And that paragraph is golden.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Was the the "Where's your party at, BITCH?" card? A friend got my that one a few years ago; it's still on the fridge...
