Three weekend observations

  1. I realize that, working in editorial, I'm a bit more sensitive to language than most. But I'm pretty laid back about it in the real world; when I see a misspelling in an e-mail, I'm happy to ignore it.
    HOWEVER, if you're going to permanently ink something onto your body, you might want to get a good grasp on the difference between to, too, and two beforehand.
    I cannot forgive a typo (much less THREE) in a tattoo. Good lord, people!
  2. I watched The Towering Inferno with Beau on Saturday. It was ridiculous, but good fun. My only irritation was the injustice of the plot line. The sweet woman who turned a con man around and saved two children from the fire ends up dying one of the most horrifying deaths in the movie. But OJ Simpson saves a kitty cat and walks away scott-free. Pretty much set the stage for another bloody injustice from which OJ walked away scott-free (without even saving a kitty), but I'll get off of the soap box before I get on.
  3. Last night, I watched a silent movie: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with John Barrymore, circa 1920. It was awesome; more compelling than talkie counterparts that came along later. I loved it. But, then again, that might be partially because the guy in charge of the placards spelled 'em all correctly. :)
