Our house is a very very very fine house
Whew. This Friday, with the (massive) help of friends and loved ones, Catherine and I moved out of my old bachelor apartment into a faaabulous new place in scenic Batavia. It's a house that's been converted into two apartments -- one on either side, each with an upstairs and a downstairs -- and I love it dearly.
We're still buried in boxes, we have a daring bring-the-bed-through-a-window project slated for 1PM today, and I'm only online because someone left a wifi network unsecured a few houses away... but oh, what a wonderful place. Old, well-established trees, well-maintained historic houses... I'll have to post pictures soon.
In other news, we took a break from unpacking to see Flight Plan last night. I think the lesson to be learned is this: If you are a criminal, and your plan involves Jodie Foster and her daughter in any way, just go home. Give up. Start work on a new and better plan, because the game is over. Sorry! Panic Room? Flight Plan? Two times makes a pattern. That said, while I was able to find holes in the plot after the fact, the movie really was emotionally gut-wrenching. Good flick.
Also... I really need to figure out what box I packed all my pants in.

Sweet!
That sounds awesome, and it IS in fact very close. Thanks for the heads up! I'll try to be there with the camera, too. My first shoot since the move!
Who the fuck are you and who
Who the fuck are you and who cares? Really! (Two l's, moron)
Thanks!
I appreciate your taking the time to review three year old blog posts for typos! The spelling error you pointed out ('realy' instead of 'really') has been corrected. It's quite the honor to have a Fine Arts graduate doing remedial copy-editing work for me.
To answer your question, my name is Jeff Eaton. I am a male. I understand that you may have missed this valuable context (found at the top of every page on the site) while reviewing the content for grammatical errors. As to the question, 'who cares,' well... I'm hardly the best person to judge.
In any case, John, it's good to meet you and I hope Quebec is treating you well. Any luck finding more copy editing work, though? I know things are tough, and teaching certificates don't go as far as they used to. Tell the rest of the Goldner family hello. If I feel that I need your services, I'll be sure to call you. You're still at 514-989-8371, right? Living at 1432 Rue Chomedey in Montreal? Cool.
As someone who's worked in marketing, though, I'd really recommend not introducing yourself to other copywriting clients with "who the fuck are you?" I'm pretty easy to amuse, but it's bad to count on that.
(Side note: When a form on the web requires your email address, and it says, 'This information won't be shared,' please don't confuse that with 'This information won't make you look like a tool.')
I hope you haven't cut a check yet.
I mean, any copy-editor worth his salt should pick up on the fact that 'fabulous' has but one 'a'. 'Realy' was a good catch and all, but come on. That was a softball. He should have nailed it.
No need for that, now.
I was trying to be nice. John's looking for work, and there's no need to make him feel worse than he does already.
