Don't Leave The Croissant Out In The Cold!

I learned from a professional writing guide that in brackets and quotation marks to put the punctuation inside, and the heading of that section was, word for word:

Don't Leave the Croissant Out in the Cold!

I swear... I can't find it but I swear that was it...

list of writing pet peeves that will likely keep me from reading something entirely off the top of my head:

excessive use of italics to denote intensity

repetitive sentence structure pattern e.g. "sighing, she dropped the book. standing, she lamented over yet another literary disappointment."

it's instead of its

misuse of dialogue tags e.g. "yes, I'm smiling out this sentence," they smiled. "don't worry about it."

no commas in vocative cases e.g. "gege I'm bald," he murmured.

misplaced punctuation wrt dialogue. "this hurts my eyes", it moaned. "make it stop".

to be continued

Yeah, I had to unlock the prop room but they wouldn't give me the key so one of the actors going with me literally tried to pick the lock with a toothpick lol

So today in rehearsal, I was working with the lighting crew to re-adjust some lights. (I held the ladder, so helpful) We weren't sure where the ladder was so we had to ask the director for their keys to open various rooms, but here's the catch: They wanted their keys back IMMEDIATELY. So we had to ask them multiple times for their keys, but they were chatting with some actors and whenever we went into the other room to get the keys, they were always mad at us for some reason because we interrupted them? Like what else are we supposed to do, lockpick the doors?

So I was watching a show with my family, (its a CIA action comedy) and there was an episode where they had to send an agent to try to get invited to this person's place, so a honeytrap. (Basically where an espionage agent tries to get into a romantic or sexual relationship with a target to get information)

So, the agency thinks the target is female, named Nika, so they assign a male agent that has a lot of experience in that. (ew straight stuff in my canon he's bisexual) BUT! It is then revealed that there was a typo, and the target's name is Nik A.

Of course, I was thinking there'd be some gay flirting, because why not? So, the male agent tries to flirt with the target, but then figures out that he's straight. The agency then sends in a nearby female agent, and the story continues.

I was hoping for gay stuff but whatever another agent is canonically lesbian and is best buds with this male agent so I don't care my Queer Quotient (TM) has been satisfied!

Today during rehearsal I was painting something for a run and some of the actors begged me to come back and help them because everyone was missing the set changes. Hey, it's not my fault if NO ONE WRITES IT DOWN!

Oui, moi'ssi j'aime utiliser le déjeuner, dîner, souper. C'est plus simple!

J'adorerais parler le Wallon, mais je connais seulement un couplet de chanson :( J'aurais aimer en apprendre plus à l'école.

Je sais me lire sur les panneaux en général, ça ressemble beaucoup à un accent de ma région. Il y a des pancartes avec des petits proverbes dans ma ville, j'adore les lire.

Ma maman a quelques expressions amusantes en wallons, par exemple "dji vou, dji n'pou" pour dire qu'on veut faire quelque chose mais qu'on en est pas capable. Mon papa est Bruxellois et a des expressions totalement différentes, ce qui fait que pon frère et moi utilisons un mélange bizarre d'accents et de patois.

J'aime bien le français, mais je ne le parle pas comme les Français évidemment. Je trouve toujours que ça a plus de sens de parler de déjeuner, dîner et souper que de petit-déjeuner, déjeuner et dîner. Duolingo utilise le français de France cependant, donc je fais sans arrêt des erreurs avec les noms des repas quand j'apprends d'autres langues.

We have these differences between Flemish and Dutch too. It's not always easy. I wish they were taught more at schools too.

But Wallon will always be superior because of septante et nonante 🙌

Anyway, I like that expression!

in my first year doing high school theatre i tried to use a fog machine (cuz my dad owns one and i knew how to use it) but as soon as it entered the theatre it S T O P P E D W O R K I N G and so we had to cut it :(

Technician: Why are you so concerned about the haze machine?

Production Manager: Because on the last show, we had to… uh…

Lighting Designer: Wank off the haze machine live on stage mid-show to make it put out any fog.

Technician: Well that’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone say those words in that order.
