The Story of Keep Calm and Carry On WWII Poster

Some people might hate me for this: I thought Keep Calm and Carry On was stupid. Well, not that phrase itself, but the hype and the parodies and all that stuff. I never bothered to find out where it came from. I knew it was somehow British because of the strong use of the Union flag and the crown and all...

But this is so cool!



(I still think the parodies of it are a bit dumb.)

I've been slacking on the blogging front...and feeling rather stressed and stretched thin. So here's a video to boost my creativity and yours.

 

The The Impotence of Proofreading by Taylor Mali

Very awesome and funny video of Taylor Mali at a poetry club doing a reading about proofreading. Proofread your stuff people! Especially you self-publishers out there, get someone else to look at your stuff even if it's just your mom. Another set of eyes on your work is invaluable. Don't write like this...

I'm So Sorry

Thank you to everyone who commented or read my Last Lines. It's so wonderful to get some feedback and you all were so nice.

I know I promised Word of the Week. But Saturday was May Day, and therefore a German holiday. Which meant the stores were all closed and I had to get groceries for the next two weeks this morning. (The visiting family has to eat; they're such a bother! Hee hee.) I still have to finish some cleaning and then go get them at the airport. Of course Germany is being typical and greeting them with clouds and rain, but hey it's still beautiful just kinda soggy. So I'm leaving you with a video. It's a movie trailer, but it is so totally something I would do.
