Weekend Update Part 2: Friday Curse

[pantryslut]

Friday G. and I succeeded in breaking the Curse of Friday. We've had to cancel two Friday dates in a row due to various circumstances, mostly on his part because I am a carefree freelancer, la la, and I have a flexible schedule. Plus I hardly sleep and am rarely ill. OK, I exaggerate, but comparatively speaking, it must seem that way to poor G. sometimes.

The main event of the day was visiting the new Good Vibrations store on Valencia, which I must say is a fine store and, more importantly, *huge*. Check it out if you get a chance!

And they have cheap yet stylish tote bags on sale that come with a free pair of latex hot pants. No kidding. What am I going to do with latex hot pants? I guess I'll find out someday.

Fornication in Fremont followed. I typed that in just for the alliteration. G. took me home late in the evening because a) he had to go to San Jose for yet more soccer boosterism in the morning, and b) I had class in San Francisco in the morning and hadn't finished my homework yet. Naughty me, fooling around on a school night. Literally.

Literally naughty, literally "fooling around" or literally school night?

I'm enjoying the image of you in a jester's cap and doublet, but I'm not sure that's what you meant to invoke.

Steven says "Only someone in love with language would phrase it quite that way." I meant literally a school night, of course. I was hoping context would indicate which of the three possibilities was intended :)

Where was it that I read recently the comment "ever notice that when people these days say 'literally,' they mean figuratively?"

Of course I knew that you meant literally a school night. And that you don't use literally when you mean figuratively. But I liked the image ...

Some years ago, someone (I don't remember who) wrote a parody of Kristine Kathryn Rusch's F&SF editorials which included the phrase, "I'm so excited that I'm literally spinning," which has become a running joke in my household.
