the epic battle

iainbroome: wordplay: I was reading this interview and the last question is “After a period, one space or two?” I LOLed and had to post it, because I’ve had this fight so many times I cannot even tell you. It’s ONE SPACE after a period. JUST ONE SPACE. Every time I edit a paper my brother or sister wrote, I delete the second space because it annoys me so much. ONE SPACE. I would fight for this...

misterpeace: glovecompartment: I want you to learn to appreciate and love the little things. To find humour in that which may go unnoticed. Like when people actually use your name in conversations or putting pennies in those swirly things and watching them go around. When your cheeks feel like they’re about to fall off after laughing endlessly with a close friend. When you wake up with the sun...

I had given up all hope that anything excellent would happen today, and then this appeared. Hallelujah. — zippy48 (via chloesanchez) I started to use this name for a girl called Siobhán at work a few years ago. She said she liked it, and it started to take off, it but then she quit. She said it wasn’t related, but I’ve felt a bit guilty ever since.

Not your typical email

ackb: I ordered a bunch of books from Better World Books for work and the “we’ve shipped your order” email read as follows: Hello Rebecca, (Your book(s) asked to write you a personal note - it seemed unusual, but who are we to say no?) Holy canasta! It’s me… it’s me! I can’t believe it is actually me! You could have picked any of over 2 million books but you picked me! I’ve got to get packed!...

(via snee) A look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start. What a great word. If only I had some kind of first-hand experience that I could relate it to.

“In the end, it was the Sunday afternoons he couldn’t cope with, and that...”

– Douglas Adams (via errorgorilla) I’ve never really liked Sundays, apart from not being at work. Everything always seems slightly off-kilter — the air, the sounds, the light, time… I’m sure that if I came out of a coma, and it was a Sunday, I’d know it immediately.

65daysofstatic | Van Der Waals cancellation →

We are not playing because the festival has recently decided to accept sponsorship from the world’s third largest arms manufacturer, BAE Systems. This was not the case when we confirmed the show, and the festival promoters have regretfully decided they cannot change the situation at this late stage. BAE Systems are an arms company. They make things to kill people with and we cannot have dealings...

Government retorts: The world doesn’t reVolvo around you! Rumour has it that the government has denied the loan proposal, reorganization of the company is pretty much a Fiat accompli at this point.
