I just wrote on your flickr how I love the watercolor green, and the graph paper… and then clicked over here to see how it looked on your blog proper. And I think it really works!

And I love this discussion of punctuation… I tend to abuse the dot-dot-dot a lot… ;)

I agree there is nothing proper about nazi therefore no capitalization needed.

I am also an abuser of the dot-dot-dot ala…

I love it. Open-ended/trailing thoughts are the best kind.

That’s interesting. I wasn’t going to leave a comment but the name and mail fields were already filled in so how could I not. What’s up with that? I’ve always had to enter them myself before.

I like the new banner. The colors are nice.

I’m not really a quotation mark nazi, I guess I just feel guilty when I overuse them - or when my aunt overuses them - or when I see them in the newspaper… ok, I guess I am. But I don’t want to be. Acknowledging I have a problem is the first step, right? BTW: spell check is asking that I capitalize the word “nazi” (quotes used correctly to identify word), but I refuse because it would give that group a sense of respect that I refuse to give it. *hot button*

My eyes get all excited at the sight of that luscious green, so I say, “Aye” (in a completely appropriate use of quotations, although Erin would not stop cringing at an e-mail from me).

Best quote rant ever: John Cusack in Say Anything. “Why are you talking like that girl Sheila? [air quotes]”. (The “Sheila” is a coinkydink - and yes I also abuse parentheticals). I love me some punctuation.

I commented on you Flickr how much I liked your new banner. Then i see that you were going to crop everything on the “outside.” DON’T! I think it looks so much better with the bleed - much more “you.” If you can, just resize it to include these “edges.”

ps: I “hate” it when “people” use quotations “indescriminately”… yet I “guess” I do it too. ARG!
