I have been fighting a battle for years

against the replacement of double quotes by pernicious single quotes. But I’m tired. So tired. Should I just ‘give up’ and let it happen, like freezing to death?

I cannot wait until 2012, when all this will have an end.

Because we all die.

I like seeing what people are asking ol’ Google. A tired game but still yields occasional fruit. Though the above series of tragic queries kinds of puts the lie to the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button.

Copyedit job

One of my ol’ employers — a small press that does outdoors guidebooks among other things — is starting a new series of guides that focus on “peaceful” places. The first is about New York CIty and they need someone local to copyedit the manuscript. Haven’t seen it myself but I’d guess it’s about 150 pages of text. The job pays, but we’re talking small-press book industry rates, not NYC, so don’t expect butter in your rum and cola. Pro copyediting experience mandatory, book experience helpful. If interested, email me at cmohney@bbook.com.

World’s most forlorn tyrannosaurus

OH MY GOD THAT’S A STEGOSAURUS YOU IGNORANT DICK

Whatever, Satan planted all those bones just to confuse people.

World’s most forlorn tyrannosaurus

The last time I had a good Halloween costume, a couple years back. Just black clothing and a hood covered with a hundred flashing LEDs. No concept but fun to look at. The LEDs were attached with magnets though, and over the course of the night they all attracted each other and collected into a mass near the center of my body. At the last bar of the night I lost the hood and someone took this picture of me channeling the power cosmic.

Was looking for this old Superfriends clip purely for the part, at about 9:30, where Solomon Grundy says “Heh heh heh … evil power repel all goodness!” Why hasn’t someone sampled that for a hip hop song? Of course, in Part 2, the bad guys knock over the World Trade Center around 1:00. Eat your heart out Michael Bay.

Appropriate for the season. Think I’ll just leave this for awhile. Also appropriate that it was in reference to this post.
