There’s Only One Space?

I just heard, through a friend so I haven’t verified it yet, that the MLA – the folks responsible for English language grammar –  have changed the number of spaces after a period from two to one.

I did not know this.

I’ve always thought that it was funny that my Blackberry, when the space bar is tapped twice, automatically adds a period and then only skipped one space and not two, but didn’t delve too far into it.  I just figured it was a text space saver.  But now my mind is mildly blown!  Even just now – just now – I still put two spaces after a period!  I can’t stop!!!!!

Can anyone confirm this for me?  Do I need to change my writing habits? 

Also, check out my recent eBays auctions.  Here’s a picture of the detail of Thor’s hammer from one of the lots:

Bid lots!

See you tomorrow!

Budgets, Books & Boxes

There seems to be no end to moving in.  Rene and I moved back in September and here we are, mid-November, and out place still looks like we moved yesterday.  I’m finally getting up the gumption to get everything put away and un-boxed. A lot of that comes from the fact that I’m selling off a bunch of crap I didn’t even realize I still had.  Right now eBay is my best friend!  I’m am so happy that my geeky 20’s can now be passed on to new 20-somethings who appreciate geeky stuff too!

And are willing to pay for it.

Speaking of paying for stuff – I’m all about movie budgets right now.  I have completed an updated budget for the documentary we are working on – more about that on the Wiggy blog next week – and we have been asked to produce a $5million budget for CMD!  I swear the little project that could just keeps getting bigger than we ever expected!  Now I just hope someone will finally fund it!

I need to go sort books right now, some to sell and some to store, so have a great remainder of a weekend!

See you tomorrow!
