Sunday Snippets

Can’t say I love the word “snippets”, but it happens to mean what I need it to mean and alliterate nicely with Sunday, which happens to be today. I have random thoughts on a regular basis, and while I’m sure I could manage to make each one into a whole blog post, since I’m verbose like that, I really don’t think I should be devoting my time in that manner. Therefore, I think I’ll just “gang run” them here on a random Sunday.  Gang run is a printing term and I guess my brain is either still in work mode or gearing up for tomorrow. These random thoughts are the types of things that would make sense to just tweet, except that I have more than 140 characters of thought about them. Or maybe not, maybe I just forgot to tweet them and it somehow feels weirder to tweet things that I thought of a long time ago but not so weird to blog them? For whatever reason, here they are…

… is in fact a great tie-in. I read or heard somewhere, maybe on some random show? that

ellipses are the sluts of punctuation.

I find this humorous. For one thing, I really like them. So I just need to think about this a bit. On one hand, I would think NO punctuation should be the slut of punctuation, like go crazy, no rules, let it all hang out. On the other hand, I can see how … could be construed as overkill. I could just put a period. Or… 3. I personally like to use them when I feel like the sentence isn’t really a complete thought, or I don’t want to have to spell it out, but you really should think about it some more. … ya know? haha. So I guess I shall just resign myself to being a “slutty” writer. I’m definitely not planning to start using more plain old periods. Boring.

Can you imagine chewing on someone’s shoe? I can, but I really don’t want to. It makes me feel gross just thinking about it. Somehow kids ALWAYS find them yummy, though???! They could pick so many other things to chew on, but they somehow just tend to gravitate toward shoes. gross.

Let’s see, do I have any other snippets? I can’t think that well because David is sitting on the couch staring into space and I think waiting for me to get off of here, but yet in a very lethargic/passive aggressive way that makes me think he’s either going to fall asleep or get really annoyed, or fall asleep AND get really annoyed…
