1. I got attacked by a bat. I kid you not - they're ADD at dusk, and one definitely smacked into me, clung to my shirt, then reoriented itself and took off.
- Bats are cute! Spazzy, tiny, but cute.
- I had to explain to the neighbors that a bat's wing was an extended arm, and it actually had finger-like appendages for gripping. It was pretty cool.

2. In the car on the way to CVS, I heard a techno remix of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme on the radio. Fun!

3. I discovered the Angst mix of Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle." It's actually pretty good - it conjures to mind what the song would sound like if Evanescence covered it. If anyone wants it, post in comments and I'll upload it.

Two things I argued with someone about and want backup on. Posed to you, my smart LJ friends:

1. In the case where a sentence ends with an 's' possessive, does the period go inside or outside of the apostrophe?

ex: She was in Stacie's room, not Jess'. vs. She was in Stacie's room, not Jess.'

2. When ending a sentence with 'etc.' or some other abbreviation, does the abbreviating period double as the end of the sentence or are two used?

ex: It was filled with candy, toys, noisemakers, etc. vs. It was filled with candy, toys, noisemakers, etc..

I need to know that I don't fail at english.
