Weekend Recap

     So I know it's Tuesday and now it seems a little late for this, but yesterday was pretty busy and this is my first chance.  I worked all day Saturday, but we at Cracking Spines headquarters (a.k.a. "the house") had the day off and went about town.  Our stops:

  • Jo-Ann Fabrics.  New yarn, new knitting needles.  
  • Petsmart, but only to look.  I really want a kitten, but I'm "not allowed".  We spent ten minutes watching a turtle, hoping he would eat one of the fish floating by.
  • Borders.  Books for everyone!  I broke down and bought Shanghai Girls, because it was cheap and I wanted it.
  • Buffalo Wild Wings.  My first time.  Not bad.  Anyone ever tried the Buzztime game?  It's trivia, so I think I'd be pretty awesome at it.
     We also decided on a whim to go see Red Riding Hood.  I thought it was quite excellent, a very wonderful twist on an old favorite.  My companion did not like it,  but we don't exactly have the same taste in movies.  (My favorite:  Say Anything.  His favorite:  Old School.)




     That about covers it.  I'll be working all this weekend, so don't expect much then.  Happy Tuesday!

Stupider vs. More Stupid

I had a debate with a couple friends yesterday concerning whether the proper term is "stupider" or "more stupid".  I consider myself a Word Nerd, so having someone question my knowledge is bruising to my nerdy, narcissistic ego.

     Because of my need to know things, I couldn't leave it alone.  I had to look it up, and I'm glad I did.  Mostly because I'm right.  (Click the link to see why.)

Pause.

     I know, I've been missing lately.  I've been wasting a lot of time locked in exhausting arguments lately.  Haven't exactly been in the best mood, which does not create the best blog posts.  But enough of excuses.  I've been thinking lately, I have some ideas.  So hang tight, I haven't forgotten about you all.  I'm still trying to figure out how I want to approach this blog, so I'm going to mess around with things a bit and hopefully present you with something more interesting and engaging. 

     Really, hang in there.
