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.

WTFs?!

WTFs?! are some lamentations on life, or on things you should really know by now. I'm indignant about these; you should be, too.

So just to get these off my chest:

the possessive your: should probably precede a noun. (thereby showing possession...)
and the you're: as in the contraction of you are.

just a few notes on spelling

• tomorrow. The last person you spoke to today probably spelled it wrong.
• accommodate.
• Wednesday. Yes, there are two d's in there.
  
• hors d'oeuvre. If you really don't know it, then don't use it.
  
• receive. This one kills me every time I see it butchered. Absolutely kills.

Spell checking tools are your friend.

Sigh. Shaking of head. God help us all. I'm going to have a piece of dark chocolate while those who need to, mull over the aforementioned.
