I've now watched every bloody episode of Love Hina.

My sweetie has no money (that's it; we're through!).

My left pinky nail is painted in a colour called "flippin'" which is alternately gray, pink, blue, and green.

I just used an Oxford comma.

And I'm going to bed :)

I'm feeling all kinds of: content? we don't need no steenking content!

Re: my only question...
The Oxford comma is also known as the serial comma. It's the comma that is sometimes (but not always) placed before the word "and" in a list:

She had an x, a y, and a z.

No! I'm seriously considering ordering them... or having Paul pick them up when he goes to Japan later this year.

I have no firm stand on the Oxford (aka serial) comma. I use it when it makes sense to do so, and I don't use it when it's not needed. How's that for a grammar maven? :)

I feel the same way about it.

However, I used it when it wasn't actually necessary to do so! I am a grammar maven who lives on the edge! *guitarchord!*

so I attempt to check this thing out and what happens? the comp shuts down completely! *giggles* the library comps are not compatible with the program it takes to run the toons *giggles more* so I'll just have to see if the local vid store has said items up for hock. ;)

I hope you can find them; they're a real joy to watch :)

Leave it to you to explodey the library comps! ;D

Good to hear from you :) You and the little ones are often in my thoughts!

so where can I find a free pattern for a good stunt or "2 string" kite?

(I'm going to be recoving this box kite with some of the rip-stop but I'll have loads left over. :D)

blatherings
When I was one, I was just begun. When I was two, I was nearly new. When I was three, I was hardly me. When I was four, I was not much more. When I was five,
I was just alive. But now that I'm six, I'm as clever as clever.
I think I'll stay six now for ever and ever.
