Timelope is my Existence’s Bane

…or at least exposes said Bane.

Ignore the fact that I just spent ten minutes on twitter tracking Michael Ian Black’s and Levar Burton’s geektastic tweet war. I am seriously trying to abstain from media this time, but twitter draws me in. A little dose of twitter  now and then during a media fast is like a little dose of meth dipped in barbecue sauce – a little won’t kill you, but it sure tastes good as the addiction works its magic.

And, yes, I know that the phrase is usually “the Bane of my Existence”. But I’ve been practicing verbal concision. And, after all, if the bane is “of” said “existence”, wouldn’t “existence’s bane” be grammatically correct?

Alas, I cannot check @GrammarGirl to find out.

    So I just decided to pop by and it looks like you’ve given up on resolutions! Either that, or you took your February resolution so seriously you’ve given up blogging. :)
