I'm down. My head is in a mental fog, and it's difficult to finish my Bad Design of the Week post. Thankfully, I know that nothing lasts forever, not even bad moods.
*changing the subject*
My blog is a miracle drug. Not too long ago I wrote about the word restaurant and how I can never spell it correctly. Ever since then, I've had no problems. See! Restaurant, restaurant RESTAURANT! (Well, I guess you'll just have to take my word for it.)
I'm here to confess my problem with another word: Optimism.
I'm always tempted, and usually do, write "optomism," which now--of course--looks completely ridiculous. Why isn't the error this obvious while I'm writing? It stumps me every single time! (Until now, that is, because my blog is a Miracle Drug.)
Optimism is often the victim of over-thinking...like so many other fine things in life. Like restaurants.

Shower, café, Sunday paper, clothes shopping, birthday party. Tonight, Bad Design of the Week.
I think today just might turn out to be a lovely day.

I'm having a difficult time logging in to regular blogger to post comments! I'm extremely frustrated, because I wanted to offer some words to Oscar Madison. It sounds like he is committing blog suicide.
I hope he doesn't. I will miss him.

I used to have problems spelling Wednesday but I actually JUST fixed this the other day. There is one word that I never get right though. What is it you say? Comfortable. What happens is I write it, spell it right but never think it's right. ...Damn that word.
I used to say wed-ness-day in my head as I wrote Wednesday. The silent "d" really threw me off, even though I never forgot to write it. It was the placement of the "n" that got me. I wonder why?
Speaking of Wednesday, I like the British pronounciation of it. If it didn't sound so pretentious, that's how I would say it.
Oddly enough, I never had a problem with "comfortable," but other -able and -ible words... yes, although I can't think of which right now.
