My copy-editing has reached a completely new level: I just noticed a misspelled word in the fine print disclaimer on the bottom of a TV commercial. It was for the GNC Wellness store, I guess they're having a sale. It said, "Buy one at th regular price . . ." How do you leave the "e" out of "the?" And then no one notices? This is a national commercial, people! Anal grammar-loving people like me catch this stuff!
Today I had to buy *shudder* black sneakers and black socks for work. I had to get *gulp* a black pair of those old-school Princess Reebok sneakers. UGH. Why me?? Although there is a new color of Chucks out there -- a really pretty shade of a mango-ish orange. So pretty.
But in addition to the black sneakers (bleh), I also got a cute pair of penny loafers/dock-siders or what have you. I never would've seen myself getting them, but they're actually pretty cute. They're not totally slip-ons, but the back is low enough that I guess they technically are. I already imagine myself in a polo shirt, khaki bermuda shorts and those shoes. But my collar will not be popped. Just to clarify that. I am completely anti-popped collar.
That's all for now. I have Urban Adventure tomorrow, which is when I "explore" [read: walk around -- ah, Disney] Downtown Disney (as if I haven't done that at least twice a month for the past 10 years, lol). So yeah, that should be . . . interesting. I get my costume. Ugh. Oh well. Could be worse, could be wearing a bowtie and suspenders and a jaunty hat (a la Molly at MGM). :-P
