single vs double?

Hm so I totally didn't know that MLA has it listed to put a single space after a period, rather than two.  I found this pretty hilarious article:

And am completely on the side of the blogger.  While I didn't play Typing Tutor (am I too young for that?  geez that looks like DOS), I remember playing Mario Teaches Typing I think... and something from my memory, maybe an elementary school teacher, has it permanently ingrained into my head to double tap that space bar after a period.  After all, if it's only one space, what makes that period so different from a comma?  Doesn't it deserve that double tap?  Yeah whatever I totally realize that html often fubars the double space anyway.  Doesn't mean I can just stop doing it.  It's like washing your hands after using the restroom, taking off your shoes in someone else's house, wait to swim after eating... pretty much all just branded into my head.

I haven't been to the Monterey Aquarium in awhile, it's still all types of awesome.  There's this new seahorse exhibit that's kinda crazy.  Anyway I put it under the cut for the pics~



Think this was the favorite animal I saw, it was so bizarre with leafy bits sticking out from everywhere.  The cool thing (with this one and any seahorse) was just how they moved through the water, it was like they were gliding and very elegant, oddly enough.



And the jellyfish are also my favorites, eerily beautiful.  Resizing the pictures kinda doesn't do it justice, but blowing up people's browsers from a 10mb file isn't cool either.

I'm awaiting the media blitz that will be the release of the new single.  Appearances and performances aplenty.  It's odd that I find the past couple of weeks or so a "lull" in terms of Arashi media.  Having three tv shows released a week (plus two guys in serial dramas) would be massive overexposure for any normal celebrity.  Yet for some reason it doesn't feel like enough with them lol.  What it means is I should buy the domain www.arashianonymous.com HAH, I very obviously am exhibiting addictive behavior.
