Yes...it's the afternoon now. But somehow this didn't post the first time. So, pretend it's from a just-caffeinated mind.

This surprised me. I had thought for the longest, that a double period is standard, but after several scripts and scriptwriting reference books, found it is just not done anymore. Damned hard to get used to, though.

When did this change????????????????????

[byrne]

Dunno.

[fredo_joaquin]

Helpful.

[byrne]

*beams*

OKAY. The truth is, it changed on August 12, 1989.

[thespisgeoff]

That's four years to the day before my Bar Mitzvah!

[byrne]

God, you're young.

[thespisgeoff]

And that was three months before my 13th birthday - I had it early so I would have it on the tail end of my class, rather than in the middle of the year lower.

[byrne]

We won't talk about the fact that I'd finished my freshman year at university, then.

[thatouguy]

Then we also won't talk about how I was 7 then. :-x

It's a good thing I know that I'm awesome. :-p

[fredo_joaquin]

Citation or it doesn't count.

[byrne]

God, you're demanding.

[thespisgeoff]

I know. Bossy, bossy bottom. I bet Josh Groban isn't half as demanding in his tour rider...

[byrne]

Honestly!

:))

[fredo_joaquin]

Boy.
