sometimes?!? more like much too much. i'm procrastinating but i don't even care, this is a serious issue!!! apparently i am such a fuddy-duddy THAT i have been reduced to blogging pedantically about grammar and the demise of the english language. dear the internet and all reputable newspapers (don't care so much about those in disrepute), please refer to sentient beings as they deserve!
yes that's you, bookshelfporn; pretty as your pictures are, i am a person WHO *hearts* bookshelves, get it right.
