Okay, it's official. We're both sick. *sigh* I'm getting better, but the headache and ooginess are still lingering. wtfpotatoes is mostly better. someotherguy has the worst of it at the moment.

(I really really really hope none of the MANY lovely people who came to game night don't get it. Honest, I didn't have any idea I was contagious. It still doesn't feel like a cold or the flu. Meep! Sorry!)

Every month, the Chicago Manual of Style online answers style questions from its readers. I especially liked this one from this month:

Q. Consider the following situation. A woman is wearing a sweater which has black-and-white stripes, and the underlying color is blue (base color), and a short skirt with a tartan plaid pattern involving the following colors: red, black, white. Is the correct way to describe this person as follows: “She is wearing a black-and-white-striped blue sweater and a short plaid skirt (red, black, and white tartan)”? Or “She is wearing a black-and-white-striped, blue sweater and a short, red-black-and-white-plaid skirt (tartan)”?

A. At last—a serious style question. I would go with version 1, but change the sweater to black cashmere.
