I must have this

So nerdy

Rimsky-Korsakoffee. Get it? 

Sound medical advice

I work for some nutjobs, and that might be putting it nicely. "Alternative medicine" is definitely important, and a lot of times it can be very helpful in treating some maladies. And there are definitely a lot of toxins in the environment and in common products that people use or ingest. No arguments there. 

Here's where you lose me:

In fact, research from Stanford Medical School says that the only way you can ever get a disease is if you are under stress. If you are not under stress, you can’t get sick.

Ha! Take that, AIDS! I can have all the unprotected sex I want as long as I’m not stressed out! Kickass!

Fun with pronouns!

It's our pals at NBC again! Here's a teaser for a news story tonight:

He's accused of killing her son and mother in a crash. But the suspect just wheeled himself away from the hospital.

I have no idea what this is talking about. Who is "her"? Perhaps that's the point of the teaser: to make no sense so we'll have to watch to figure out what the hell they're talking about.

Fill in the blank

My transcriptionist couldn't figure out the word that goes in the blank. What do you think it should be?

I would love to say to you that you’ve always got to have a special ___ on the envelope. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that. There are times when having a message on the envelope works really well.

I should get paid extra for things like this.

From one of the pieces I edited today (an advertisement for a Renaissance dance):


Let yourself entrained in one Pavane dance or a Gaillarde dance accompanied with the sound of the lute.
Waffles in abundance: 


Yay waffles!

Makeup mistakes

From the Sephora website (Make Up For Ever):

Burgandy 18L (deep burgandy sheen)

Usually burgundy is spelled with a U. Just sayin'.

Also, this is definitely all Sephora:

The buildable formula let's you control coverage, with a satin finish.

Sephora is a very profitable company. You'd think they could afford to hire an editor. Or at least someone who could use spellcheck.
