Argh stuff to do.

Posting here is way better than finishing my (way, way, way overdue) page proofs. Just saying. Also, I figured I had better knock off a few things.

» My grandmother has been in and out of the hospital for the past few weeks due to a stroke she had the Saturday before I returned from California, and she's now in a hospital strictly for physical therapy. I visited her once, when she was in the first hospital, and am way overdue for seeing her again. I'm going tonight. It's about time. I'm such a loser.

» Gus is doing much better. His blood work came back inconclusive (in that "Everything looks just fine!" kind of way, which I find a little frustrating), so as long as he doesn't have another seizure I'm going to assume everything is business as usual. So far so good.

» Script Frenzy is coming up. AGH. I am so not prepared for this year, and somehow I wound up doing two. Which is not a big deal -- they're both going to be incredibly fun and interesting and the like -- but April is sneaking up on me (IT STARTS ON THURSDAY WHAT THE CRAP) and I feel very not ready. This will change. I've a lot of practice working on the fly.

» I bought opera tickets (Armida) yesterday for a show in May. Squee. I also bought tickets to the Orioles' opening day (April 9) and to the local production of Phantom of the Opera. I'm getting my culture (and... local sports team?) on. Between that and book club and the flute festival, it's going to be a busy couple of months. But it'll be super fun, so yay.

» I found the best lemon cake recipe. Next on my to-do list is finding a good gluten- and dairy-free cake recipe. It's totally necessary. (Why do so many of my friends have crazy allergies?) I'm about ready to break down and query bakebakebake, since they'll probably have way better ideas/suggestions. That, and they probably know what they're doing.

» The best piece of punctuation ever invented was the interrobang. No one will dare argue with this, I know.

I know there's something else, but can't for the life of me think of what it might be. So I'm going to end this post while I'm ahead. Ta!

You're right! I cannot argue with you about the interrobang. I had to look it up because I was like wtf is that, and then I saw it was ama~zing! Plus the name of it is hilarious. I was expecting something that would be more about interrupting a sentence with a bang XD Like an extreme -- or something.

Instead, it's a way I would like to end sentences more except for the fact that, man, you really can't read it very well in small size font. It looks like someone scribbled a tiny dot and forgot to make it legible.

See‽

YOU SEE?

The illegibility really is the one down-side to the interrobang. It makes me a little sad, I have to admit, because it's just Such A Cool Punctuation Mark.

I know! Why can't it be more legible? I was reading the history on it. Too bad it didn't catch on like the other punctuation. How'd you run across it, anyway?

PS: Aww, Paradise Kiss.

I... I honestly don't know. I've known about it for some time. I just don't think I've ever expressed my love for it before.

Well, I'm glad you did because now I know about the amazingness of the interrobang. <3
