All of those things make me twitch. I'm very twitchy.

I tend to typo some things I know (there, they're and their), but I actually have a lot of trouble with its and it's because I just remember that there is something wrong with them. And picturing The Alot has helped me with that one.

I'm twitching right now.

So, man, today. I have a metric tonne of stuff to do, but even with the short list of errands the SO & I left the house to accomplish, all we actually did was go eat breakfast out, wander the garden center, then come home and shoot. Now I'm making improv stew (venison, chickpeas, chile peppers, corn, with cumin, oregano, sea salt, garlic & onions) and the SO is watching Northern Exposure.

I guess it's ok. It's our first official day of summer. I guess tomorrow I can start back with the work.

Those Malkovich Siri ads are meant to be creepy, right?

Well, I just posted my kindergarden report cards, so my last name is out there.

Thomas is quite an unusual little student. He does a great deal of thinking and seems to be concerned about things way beyond the scope of a five year old. He is a very intelligent little boy & does very good work.

And a different card:

Thomas is quite a remarkable little student. He doesn't make a "big noise" but we all know he is here. He is most self sufficient and able to solve his ??? problems. Thomas ??? in the 99th percentile of his class on his Readiness test.

Scary how well those evaluations describe me.

If anyone could help me read the words I can't figure out, that would be great.

but I actually have a lot of trouble with its and it's because I just remember that there is something wrong with them.

That sorta' describes me, but I just hate being wrong so I put extra thought into selecting the right one. The way I remember is that its is a possessive pronoun like his or theirs, and it's is therefore the contraction of "it is."

And read metric fuckloads of Avengers fic.

Did you read Holli's Steve versus the Hipsters fic?

He is most self sufficient and able to solve his [own] problems. Thomas [ranked] in the 99th percentile of his class on his Readiness test.

I need to see these Malkovich ads. I think creepy is a hobby for him.

I see all kinds of stuff in fic especially

Oh, the homonyms. I see peek/peak confusion a lot. And words that aren't quite homonyms, but close enough to make me wonder if the writer is using voice recognition software and not really editing.

I once read the term "gestational fortitude" instead of "intestinal fortitude" in a fanfic

That stuff is the best. Too damn funny.

In crazy family news, my cousin, who is four years younger than me (37) is now a grandmother. She was a mom at 16. Five kids. *shudder*
