12/08/2003: "The copy editor in me"

This morning at practice, a group of rowing ladies were talking about the club's holiday party. They kept saying they were going to put out "luminaries" to light the driveway of the hostess's house.

I wanted to say, "Um, it's luminarias. A luminary is an enlightened person," but I had to bite my lip for fear of being an annoying know-it-all nerd.

Current mood: Procrastinating
Current music: Pet Shop Boys | Two Divided by Zero

Oh, I dunno... maybe they were going to line the driveway with Stephen Hawking, Sidney Poitier, Elizabeth Taylor, Mickey Rooney and Carrot Top.
