Olaf the Troll ,'Showtime'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've seen a lot of end of decade stuff, but mostly on buzzfeed, which is my insomnia website.
I wrapped a lot of presents last night, but sadly I ran out of the gorgeous, thick, easy to use paper I bought. TCG did the cards. We were on opposite ends of our dining table both listening to our audiobooks with headphones.
Aw, that sounds so nice and Norman Rockwell-y!
I am having intense deja vu overhearing my coworkers discussing our response to UPS/FedEx delays cause to high volume. I think they may have had this exact conversation last year. I know we had the same problem.
So, I feel like I'm seeing a lot of End of the Decade stuff and not any the-decade-actually-ends-next-year stuff. Is it out there and I'm just not seeing it or did the pedants all get tired?
As a former pedant, I gave up on that fight in 2000.
That was the big one.
I've seen one post about it, but yeah, I think people are mostly letting this one go.
I kinda miss it. I mean, I have pretty much let "decimate" go, but it makes a little wistful every time I don't say anything, you know?
Pendantic nostalgia, who knew?
Aw, man. That is sad.
Somewhat relatedly, in sideways fashion, Facebook has started showing me ads for "pelmeni dumpling molds" and on the one hand it still amazes me to see this niche food that is part of my culture showing up as a mainstream product at all, the pelmeni that they dump out of the mold in the ad do not look right, I am sorry, no.
sigh ... it bugs me how the apostrophe is abused ... and I'm also annoyed at the fact that more and more places don't use the double quotes for titles, quotations, etc.
