This Week's Crush and Spelling Round

Crush-Of-The-Week (COTW)
If you're attractive and talented, congratulations, you have met the stipulations that put you in the running for the candy monster's crush. I crush on somebody new all the time - I've decided to whittle it down by week.
This week's profile: Indie rockers that are easy on the eyes and more down-to-earth than you'd expect. Damn, [insert musician's name here]. Enough sweet-talking and thoughtfulness and I'll want to make out with you. (Wink.)

Spelling Round
  • friendly. Yes, another i before e.
  • whether or not you like it, the weather is unseasonably warm lately.
  • You are waiting in line for coffee. No, not online, on the world wide web, but in a line. You know, a queue; there's an old school surfer in front of you and a woman with her screaming kids standing behind you.

    And to add to your Hollywood vernacular according to webster.com:
  • schmooze: verb. To converse informally: chat; also: to chat in a friendly and persuasive manner especially so as to gain favor, business, or connections
  • swag: noun. Goods acquired by unlawful means: loot
  • ETA: estimated time of arrival.

    And to save in the mental thesaurus:
    Take out the random, try:
  • á tort et á travers: wrong and crosswise, at random, without rhyme or reason.
