My suckiness level has risen to the point where I expect to turn into a black hole any day now

[out_there]

Have acheived so little today it's not funny. On the other hand, discovered both assignments are due next week.

*headdesk*

Why, oh why, oh why, do I have them written in my diary as due in three weeks time?

*headdesk again*

Okay, study shall be done. Tomorrow, work shall be done. Next section of wip shall be posted late next week, I expect.

(And Jeremy and drunken-Casey can just stop snarking inside my head right now, thank you very much. This wip seems to have absorbed all spare brain-cells. I need my headspace back, pronto.)

H'm. I suppose I could learn how to use the basic HTML tags before I go criticising other people!

I sometimes wonder whether the verb 'to lie' takes different declensions in American English, it's misused so frequently, and by people who should know better. Josh, for example, in TWW saying "Is it better to lay down in front of a train, or - ?" At which point I completely stopped having a crush on Josh. Tragedy!

I think the 'could care less', meaning 'couldn't' might come under the heading of a regional colloquialism. But then again, maybe not.

Hee! Okay, that didn't bother me. Of course, my big WW crush is Sam, and I love him pointing out that "It's a really bad phrase." ("What about if it's the other way around?" "It's still a really bad phrase, Josh.")

Thinking of Josh/Sam, and my OTP of political angst, I was so amused yesterday when ahab99 posted that quote from Rob Lowe about him being sure that Sorkin was building up to Sam coming out as gay. Just too funny.

I'd believe that, but... American recappers paused at that phrasing, and I've yet to meet anyone online who *says* that.
