Short takes
Does no one say "try to [verb]" anymore? I keep hearing "try and [verb]", which flows, but makes less sense when thinking about it.
I went to a farmer's market for the first time this year last night. There was some gorgeous produce. I got more than I'd planned, including an apple with a lovely name: ginger gold. It turns out to be reasonably crunchy, with an ok flavor, but not an outstanding variety to me. I also got to see the new mural on the back of the Brookline galleria (near the Coolidge Corner movie theater), portraying the inside of the space, which seems like a good way to remind people it's there. It's an old-fashioned sort of space, two levels of shops, but little storefronts with old kinds of plate-glass windows. I still find it incongruous that Grand Opening is on the second floor.
Traveling beer must have hops.
This new LJ 'skin' is a bit disconcerting, trying to figure out where things are. I assume I'll end up keeping with the new schema (if I can find 'edit entries' where I think it should be, that would help). What I find a bit more strange than this newness (which emphasizes my tendency to get very used to what is) is the term 'skin'. It's a bit creepy, really, though I can see why the term arose. I don't know that I'd want to put on a new skin one day, really. It takes the idea of walking in someone else's shoes a bit farther than I'd want to go...

I keep wondering if grammar crankiness is genetic; my dad has his quirks, and is always ready to talk about them ("skimmed milk" being one of his favorites, as it were).
