I will humor myself and tell you that I'm rubbing off on you, I think.

At least the rambling part... I'm actually thinking of making my rambles a weekly feature. It is good writing practice you know. :)

The stream of consciousness post. Love it.

Oh, and far be it from me to criticize grammar and spelling but I shall. What really gets my goat (is that the phrase?) is their, there, and they're misuse.

Ahh...yore just messin' with us! Actually, I make the "your" mistake all the time. But I have gnomes and nobody expects me to have proper grammar; so that's a plus.

And this Jason Mraz thing? No can do there...I am NOT going to listen to him and his cutesy lyrics! You can't make me, you can't make me!

I'm sure I've used 'you're' when it should have been 'your' and lots of other typos, in comments. That's why I like the fact that Kathy has an edit feature :)

There must be something about Jason Mraz; I heard "I'm Yours" ONE time (I don't listed to the radio much) and it was stuck in my head for about two weeks.

I hate it when I make a spelling or grammar mistake in a comment! Some blogs give you the opportunity to edit, which is really nice.

Love that album. Lordy. Our kids can sing that whole song "I'm Yours" because we listened to it so much.

janna - Thanks for introducing me to yet another way to burn up my already underutilized time.

elizabeth - I just think it's sweet that you're listening to The Wiggles these days.

heather - I've seen some blogs that have so much content per post that my eyes glaze over. I won't even bother to start reading those novels.

mom thumb - Yeah, I wonder if he wrote that from personal experience.

mamma - I know, it bugs me too but I have no idea why. It's not like I'm trying to win a grammar contest or something.

avitable - Even worse, I've taken to wearing a scarlet apostrophe. Now I can pay for my egregious punctuation sins through public humiliation.

After that typo, your only resort is suicide.

I HATE when I use improper grammar in a comment. HATE IT!! I just get all excited about the post or something.

I've never found anything that really cleans CDs well.

Having spent so much time recently in our youth shelter getting ready for our big grand opening, I have to say, that song pretty much just broke my heart.

Wait! This is a children's song and he says as...

2009-09-26T00:17:35.561-05:00

Wait! This is a children's song and he says ass in it? Hmmmm.

I too am bothered by spelling mistakes, but that doesn't mean I don't commit them. And I'm very embarrassed when I discover them later.

I do like Jason Mraz though.

And I prefer shorter blog posts too, but this wasn't that long. It's really the posts that have the teeny tiny writing and I still have to scroll more than once.

Here, go check out this fun site called "Apostrophe Catastrophes".

Now you can make fun of other people's punctuation mistakes instead of your own. :)

If that doesn't do the trick, you can always go here too:

Good stuff, guaranteed to horrify English teachers everywhere. :)

idaho dad - Yes, I was thinking about you when I wrote this. I think Mraz is an amazing vocalist. Pure talent. Thanks for the Mika songs. I'm listening to them right now. Very cool!

michelle - Hmmm, we had one of those CD repair kits once and I don't think it ever repaired one CD. However, ours always look like someone has been scrubbing them with steel wool so maybe that has something to do with it.

yellowjkt - Thank you... for spelling "your" wrong. If you did it on purpose it was very kind/funny of you and if you did it by accident then it makes me feel normal. :-)

2009-09-25T21:07:08.301-05:00

This was only a one-scroll. Too many of my posts are five or six scrolls. Now I know why more people read you than me. That and your funnier, more handsome, and cooler.

2009-09-25T20:36:37.438-05:00

Actually "it's" and "its" is even more annoying than "you're" vs "your" -- at least in my opinion.

So that CD repair stuff I just bought doesn't work? I figured you of all people would be knowledgeable if it did. There goes $3 down the drain :)

2009-09-25T20:30:52.115-05:00

Jeff, aren't you the one who recommended Mraz's "I'm Yours" to me some months ago? His whole album is a pleasure.

You'd like Mika's new album, "The Boy Who Knew Who Too Much." Also lots of memorable melodies with the occasional Queen flourish.
