This afternoon I received an email from an institution of higher learnin'. I'm not kidding-- they offered me an opportunity to earn...
..."A Maste's Degree in Creative Writing"
Yeah, uhm... No thanks.
the five things i fell in love with today...
1) The thing is, for about a good solid minute, it really bugged me. I thought, "What's a Maste's Degree? ...Is that sort of like... between a Bachelor's and a Master's or...?"
2) The other thing is, of all the letters in the alphabet, you're seriously going to forget the 'R'?????? C'mon, dude.
3) Tonight, I cooked myself a delicious and healthy dinner of Chicken Stir Fry!!!! The number one New Year's resolution on my list is to lose a ton of weight (Literally. A ton.). And, I'm happy to report, I am off to an amazing start!!!
4) Typos from institutions of higher learnin'. I really don't know what this says about my confidence as a writer, but... it really does make me happy to catch this sort of thing.
5) Well, hey, at least, y'know... I guess it is creative, in a way, no...? Maybe that's what they're doing? Breaking new ground? Maybe that's what they were going for...? Maybe it's some sort of French New Wave-kinda... Bohemian-sorta thing where they don't have to, y'know, spell every word correctly, or live by the rules, or bow down to the laws of nature, or shower.
No...?
song of the night...
"Spelling Bee" by Missy Elliot
movie of the night...
"Spellbound (2004)"

maybe they are following the lead of E. E. Cummings?
ReplyDeleteI’ve been following and enjoying your blog for a while now and would like to invite you to visit and perhaps follow me back. Sorry I took so long for the invitation.
ReplyDeletemaybe the writer of said email spoke with an accent in which the 'r' gets dropped :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great things to fall for:)
ReplyDeleteAll this time, I've been too lazy to look up E.E.Cummings. Epic fail on my part. Sorry, Daisy.
ReplyDeleteDone and done, Covnit! :)
What kinda accent, Patti???? lol!
Thanks, Toyin! I think so, too! :)
