Feels-Like-Spring-In-Late-November Rambly Bits

-- Not that I'm complaining, but what's up with the weather? It's been in the 60s all week.

-- Food that identifies itself in quotation marks concerns me. (I took the picture below in my office a couple of weeks ago.)





-- mabfan typed something into a text message that was supposed to be an interjection. Autocorrect changed it to "Krasnodar!" I have now adopted this as a new interjection

-- Today I am murdering trees in the name of scienceaccuracy. I need to check old screen shots against new screen shots and replace the ones that need replacing. Since I already took a bunch of new ones for book A, and I need to replace the ones in book B, it's easiest if I print both books (each under 50 pages) and then go page by page and find the newer versions in book A. I feel bad about the tree deaths, but it's either that or make my eyesight even worse by peering closely at the screen all day.

Interjection!

Well at least it's shorter than Yekaterinodar, the previous name for the port.

I have asked the question on FB of whether chiropractors treat meteorological whiplash.

Dead tree to dead tree is better than dead tree to screen. I'm not sure why, but I catch more errors on paper. I wonder if it's because we grew up writing papers on paper and are used to seeing corrections on them?

There are studies demonstrating that more errors are found (and found more easily) on paper than on screen. No, I can't cite the studies....because I haven't actually seen them. But I believe they exist!

(No, really. They do exist.)

Hmm. Had the thing said

"Eat me!" -- Chocolate cake

that would have made sense.

That's totally what I was thinking! Hee hee.

I'm not sure I want to know what was actually in that "chocolate cake"...

Krasnodar!

Ooooh, I like that, and might have to start using it myself. Just to avoid confusion as we "interject" this into the common usage of the world, do you use it for more positive or negative situations or just as a catch-all? :)

Usually negative. It has such a nice explosive sound to it. So say I miss my train. "Krasnodar!"
