:O I just ascended Landshark Says Candygram. :O :O :O Tomorrow is a muscle day, so hopefully I can get the baby Seal Clubber up to level 5 or 6... she's up to 3 already. \o/ I also finished a couple more stories for that table. I have the feeling I'm just writing for myself, but hey, not the first time.

Now, links!

George Romero talks about zombies. Apparently, they can't run because they'd break their ankles. I guess that makes sense.... Diary of the Dead is from the point of view of college students, kind of like Cloverfield, but I think it will be better. >>

Cats are being rounded up and killed in Beijing in preparation for the Olympics. DO NOT WANT ;___;

I don't think Bush has thought this waterboarding thing through...

Hillary Clinton has jumped the tracks shark. Just the cherry on a self-sabotage cake, really.

A map of Ludacris' hoes by area codes. AHAHAHA. Apparently, he's down with the east coast hoes, but he's not afraid of the flyover state bitches entirely.

The mechanics of the man hug. One more reason to put Obama in office: he knows how to man-hug. xD I'm glad girls can hug, because man hugs look unsatisfying.

An analysis of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah and its place in media today. Have I already made the ginormous Hallelujah covers post? I think I have...

Top 10 grammar myths. English is an evolving language! I'm glad that I don't have to worry about prepositions any more. I try to keep them in their place, but sometimes you just have to end a sentence with one.

The author of The Omnivore's Dilemma and The Botany of Desire says: Don't eat anything that doesn't rot. That means twinkies, pop-tarts, cereal... don't harsh my breakfast buzz, Michael Pollan! No, really though, I've read his books and they're very interesting, and this interview brings up a lot of things that you may not have thought about in terms of what you eat and why everything is made from the same basic things now, why whole foods are so expensive, that sort of thing.

I think I'm going to go to bed early tonight-- it should feel like eightish, but it feels more like ten to me right now. -_-

LOL
at the bottom of the Hilary link, i saw the words: linked from "she will feed you tomatoes and radio wire" and i clicked it thinking "holy shit, this person MUST be awesome to put such a great NMH lyric"
imagine my joy and surprise when it led me back here!

:-D

although i think no person should cover any song from In the Aeroplane over the Sea. that's just my personal opinion.

Haha, I am pretty awesome, aren't I? xD

I know I posted a bunch of Two-Headed Boy covers a while back. I'm just a whore for covers... and it's true that no one can match NMH, but there are a few pretty decent ones, or at least I think they're decent.

Note: You do still have to worry about prepositions. That is completely incorrect and has been pointed out in the comments most of the examples she gave weren't even using prepositions. I would not listen to Grammar Girl.

If I did a lot of formal writing, I would worry more about them, but most of my writing is casual and trying to keep prepositions from the ends of sentences just makes them sound stilted and unnatural. I think flow is more important than complete adherence to the rules of grammar... but that's me.

Yeah so long as you don't try to do it in formal that's all right.

As I got into a grammar discussion with someone, we came to the conclusion that grammar is more like a set of guidelines (why am I hearing Geoffrey Rush's voice right now?) and the worst that's going to happen if you break a rule is someone is going to criticize you. Oh noez, a crit on writing! Whatever shall we do :P

My teacher for Advanced Writing in high school would automatically fail a paper if we split infinitives or ended sentences with prepositions. That was a SCARY class.

D: that sounds scary! My writing seminar prof taught us that it was okay to play around with the rules, but you'd better have a purpose if you're deliberately doing so.

And I will definitely admit that I break rules (both by accident and on purpose) when need be.

The whole man-hug thing amuses me, as we've been joking a alot at work about personal space and physical contact, and I brought up the handshake-in-the-middle man hug.

And that Hallelujah article was, of course, very fascinating. That song really is emotional shorthand for "WE ARE SAD NOW."
