What good is a blog if you can't advertise your own idiocy every once in a while?
I lost my keys. They have a green skull key cap and a purple skull key cap, as well as a skeleton key. I lost them somewhere between home (Sunset Park) and Murray Hill (work). Lord knows I didn't go anywhere else yesterday. I took the D train to work at about 8:45am and the N train home at about 9.
SMALL FOOD REWARD: I'll take you out to al di la or buy you $50 worth of cheese.
I know I've got an ice cube's chance in hell of getting my keys back this way, but I figure it's worth a shot.
Extra credit existential question: Would I have heard the keys drop out of my pocket if I wasn't listening to the iPod?
Extra credit grammatical question: Is it Would I have...wasn't listening or Would I have...weren't listening?
I'm going to have to shoot for wasn't listening.
Consider this. Would you say "I was listening to my iPod" or would you say "I were listening to my iPod"?
It's "wasn't". "Were" used in the singular is for things that aren't real or true - "I wish I were a rich man."

This is something I've often wondered about (something about which I've often wondered?), but I have to agree with Valerie. I hope someone finds your keys soon. In the meantime, I've tagged you for Seven Random Things, so maybe that'll take your mind off of it!
I FOUND YOUR KEYS...just kidding - what a cruel joke but oddly I have been looking and I love finding lost things...

I'm on a different continent to the place you lost keys so I suspect I won't find them, but now I really want $50 worth of cheese. Maybe I'll settle for getting £10 worth and I'll think really hard about your keys, maybe they'll feel the love and come home!
10 quid worth probably IS the same as $50 worth these days. *sigh*
